National Construction Rentals

What National Construction Rentals does

National Construction Rentals (NCR) is a US-based, privately held rental company founded in 1962 by Dick Mooneyham and headquartered in Mission Hills, California. The company rents temporary site service equipment — chain-link and panel fencing, portable toilets (including solar-powered and ADA-compliant units), luxury restroom trailers, mobile storage containers, barricades, and temporary power systems — to construction, events, government, industrial, education, infrastructure, and disaster relief customers. NCR operates through four trade names (National Rent-A-Fence, National Event Services, National Sanitation, and National Site Services) and serves 43 states and 275+ metropolitan areas, with a stated total customer base of more than 194,000.

The company's product portfolio is built around physical rental assets and field-deployment logistics rather than software platforms. Notable equipment specifications include 14-gauge heavy-duty steel mobile storage containers (10/20/40 ft), restroom trailers with advanced polypropylene tank and bottom-sump systems designed for odor-free operation, and the FenceLogic online design tool for planning temporary fence layouts. Specialty lines include solar-powered restroom configurations (1/2/4-unit) and a temporary power division offering transformer installations, 30-foot power poles, spider boxes, and 3-phase equipment with permitting and planning services. The company holds several trademarks including National Rent-A-Fence®, Rentals Made Easy™, and We're Everywhere™.

Commercially, NCR uses a direct-to-consumer, usage-based rental model with quote-based pricing; customers engage through a toll-free phone line (800-352-5675), the rentnational.com website, or an online quote request form, with orders fulfilled through the company's nationwide network of service locations and delivery fleet. The customer mix is anchored by vertical demand from construction site services (perimeter security, sanitation, storage, on-site power) and is supplemented by events, government and public works, disaster recovery, and educational facility projects. NCR has gradually extended its product surface and geographic footprint since 1962 — adding sanitation (1982), temporary power (1986), and mobile storage (1996) as separate divisions, and expanding from 41 states in 2015 (Nebraska) to 43 states today.

Broad incumbents

• Herc Rentals: Major U.S. equipment rental operator with a ProSolutions specialty division that includes fencing, sanitation, and site services. Comparable customer overlap with industrial and infrastructure contractors but broader equipment-rental portfolio and smaller relative share of fencing/sanitation than NCR.
• United Rentals: Largest equipment rental company in the world, with a specialty rentals division that overlaps on fencing, sanitation, and power distribution. Comparable in serving large GC and industrial customers, but vastly broader in scope (earthmoving, aerial, tools) and competes mainly for national-account and specialty jobs.
• Sunbelt Rentals: Second-largest U.S. equipment rental company with a sizable specialty/site-services offering (fencing, portable power, climate control) targeted at the same construction customer base. Competes with NCR for national-account work while serving a much wider fleet of general construction equipment.

Emerging players

• PolyJohn Enterprises: Manufacturer and supplier of portable sanitation equipment (portable toilets, hand-wash stations, sinks, trailers). Comparable product overlap in portable restrooms and a partial overlap in event and construction customers, though PolyJohn is more manufacturing-leaning than NCR's pure rental model.
• BrandSafway: Major provider of scaffolding, access, and site services to industrial and commercial construction customers. Overlaps with NCR's fencing and site-services offering for large industrial and infrastructure projects, with similar enterprise customer mix.
• ModSpace (WillScot): Mobile and modular space rental business now part of WillScot; directly comparable to NCR's mobile storage container line for construction sites and overlaps on the same construction customer base.

Regional players

• Honey Bucket: Regional portable sanitation and temporary site services provider in the Western U.S., directly comparable product line (portable toilets, sinks, fencing, storage) but with a much smaller geographic footprint than NCR's 43-state network.

Direct peers

• United Site Services: Largest direct competitor in U.S. temporary site services, offering portable toilets, fencing, hand-wash stations, and restroom trailers to the same construction, event, and government end-markets. Closely comparable product mix, customer base (national GCs), and direct-to-consumer rental model.
• Satellite Industries: Major manufacturer and renter of portable sanitation products (porta potties, hand-wash stations, holding tanks) in North America. Directly comparable core product (portable toilets) and overlapping construction and event end-markets.
• WillScot: Leading North American provider of mobile offices and modular space, with a mobile-storage business (formerly Mobile Mini) directly comparable to NCR's mobile storage containers. Overlaps on construction-site storage rentals and serves many of the same large GC customers.
