Rental Power Solutions

What Rental Power Solutions does

Rental Power Solutions (RPS) is a Miami, Florida-based rental operator of temporary and emergency power generation and temperature-control equipment, founded in 1999 by Saul Medina and acquired by Industrial Motor Power Corporation (IMP) in 2014. The company maintains a fleet of Caterpillar CAT XQ-series generators ranging from 15kW to 3,000kW, Multiquip WhisperWatt and Airman units, and portable air-cooled chillers from 30 to 477 tons, supported by accessories including transfer switches, distribution boxes, fuel tanks, load banks, and cables. RPS delivers full-service support covering site survey, layout planning, delivery, installation, refueling, and 24/7 emergency response, with deployments in Florida, Puerto Rico, and South America through the IMP family of companies.

The company's core products are usage-based equipment rentals (generators and chillers) billed via quote-based pricing, supplemented by Contingency Rental Agreements (CRAs) that pre-reserve capacity for the June 1 to November 30 hurricane season as a subscription-like offering, and long-term Independent Power Production (IPP) services delivered in coordination with sister company IMP Energy Solutions. RPS serves enterprise customers across healthcare, pharmaceuticals, data centers, hospitality, construction, marine, government, media production, and special events, with notable engagements at University of Miami Hospital, Port Miami, Univision Studios, Patheon Pharmaceuticals in Puerto Rico, and the Florida Emergency Operations Center.

RPS operates a sales-led go-to-market model centered on dedicated RPS Account Experts, direct phone sales, an emergency after-hours line, and website-driven quote requests, with marketing focused on hurricane preparedness content and seasonal contingency planning. Revenue mechanics are predominantly transactional and project-based, with a recurring component from CRAs and managed IPP contracts; pricing is not publicly disclosed and is negotiated per engagement. The 11–50 employee headcount, single-hub Miami-Dade footprint, and 25-year operating history position RPS as a regional specialist rather than a national or global player.

Direct peers

• Aggreko: Global leader in temporary power generation rental, offering diesel and gas generator rentals (typically 30kW to multi-MW) plus temperature control solutions to construction, events, data center, oil & gas, and utility customers. Directly comparable to RPS in product, customer base, and emergency response model, but operates at a vastly larger international scale.
• Trinity Power: North American temporary power rental specialist supplying diesel generators, load banks, and power distribution equipment for construction, events, oil & gas, and emergency response. Closely comparable to RPS in fleet composition (large mobile Caterpillar-style units) and full-service rental model.
• Power Plus: US temporary power and HVAC rental company providing mobile generators, chillers, and distribution equipment to commercial, industrial, and entertainment customers, with emergency response. Direct competitor to RPS in generator and chiller rental, particularly along the US West Coast and in disaster response work.
• The Cat Rental Store (Caterpillar dealer rental network): Caterpillar's North American dealer-led rental network offering CAT XQ-series generators (the same product line RPS rents) and other heavy equipment. Directly competes with RPS on the same OEM equipment, often with deeper fleet financing and broader geographic coverage.

Broad incumbents

• United Rentals: Largest equipment rental company in the world, offering power and HVAC solutions as part of a much broader aerial, earthmoving, and industrial fleet. Overlaps with RPS on temporary generator and chiller rentals but at national scale and as one category among dozens.
• Sunbelt Rentals: Major North American equipment rental company with a dedicated Power & HVAC division offering temporary generators, chillers, and climate control equipment. Competes with RPS on commercial and industrial temporary power, especially for large multi-site customers.
• Herc Rentals: Full-line equipment rental provider with power generation, HVAC, and climate solutions as part of an enterprise-focused fleet. Overlaps with RPS in industrial and emergency backup power, though Herc's portfolio is far broader.
• Atlas Copco Power and Flow: Global industrial manufacturer and rental provider of mobile generators, compressors, and power solutions. Comparable to RPS on temporary diesel power and a relevant adjacency given the overlap with industrial and construction end markets.

Others

• Multiquip: OEM of the WhisperWatt generator line that forms a meaningful portion of RPS's smaller-unit fleet. Closely tied to RPS as a key equipment supplier, and its dealer/rental network overlaps with RPS's mid-range generator offering.
• Generator Source: Specialist in new, used, and rental industrial diesel generators (including CAT and other major brands) with a strong used-equipment channel. Adjacent rather than direct — overlaps with RPS on Caterpillar genset availability and on event/backup power customers in the Southeast US.
