PROTECTING EQUIPMENT BEFORE IT ENTERS THE FLEET

INDUROPRO APPLIED TO A UNITED RENTALS GENERAC MDG25

Before this Generac generator entered the United Rentals rental fleet, it was coated with InduroPro to protect the machine from the wear and corrosion that rental equipment faces daily. Units in rental rotation experience constant transport, jobsite exposure, and repeated cleaning, all of which accelerate paint breakdown and surface deterioration.

By applying InduroPro before the generator entered service, United Rentals ensured that painted surfaces, fenders, and decals were sealed with a durable ceramicized epoxy barrier designed to resist rust, corrosion, UV fading, and jobsite abrasion. The installation also served as the live demonstration for the InduroPro application guide, showcasing the full prep, mixing, and coating process.

PROTECTION BEFORE THE FIRST RENTAL

PREPARING FLEET EQUIPMENT FOR HEAVY USE

Rental equipment is subjected to some of the harshest operating conditions, including constant transport, environmental exposure, and inconsistent cleaning routines.

By applying InduroPro before the generator entered service, United Rentals protected the machine while it was still in excellent condition. This proactive approach helps preserve paint, prevent rust and corrosion, and maintain the professional appearance expected from rental fleet equipment.

FULL SURFACE COVERAGE

PROTECTED PANELS, FENDERS, AND DECALS

InduroPro was applied to all painted surfaces of the generator, including the fenders and high-visibility areas where decals and paint are most vulnerable to fading and abrasion. The ceramicized epoxy coating bonds to the prepared surface, creating a durable barrier that resists UV exposure, moisture intrusion, and jobsite wear. By sealing these surfaces early, the generator is better prepared to withstand the demands of repeated rentals and outdoor operation.

PROACTIVE FLEET PROTECTION

PROTECTING A NEW GENERAC MDG25 GENERATOR BEFORE RENTAL FLEET DEPLOYMENT

United Rentals in Saint Rose, Louisiana applied InduroPro to a brand new Generac MDG25 diesel generator before it entered active rental fleet circulation. This was a proactive protection decision — coating the machine while it was still in new condition to prevent the UV fading, corrosion, and jobsite chemical damage that typically degrades generator finishes within the first year of fleet use.

Using 2 × 17 oz kits of InduroPro ceramicized epoxy, the team coated all painted surfaces including the black base, frame skirt, and fenders. Every exterior surface that would be exposed to jobsite conditions was sealed with a ceramicized epoxy barrier before the unit ever left the yard.

Rental generators cycle through unpredictable environments with every deployment. Construction sites, industrial operations, outdoor events, and emergency applications expose the machine to UV, chemicals, moisture, and physical handling damage. The factory paint on a generator like the MDG25 is designed for appearance, not long-term chemical and environmental resistance.

By coating the Generac MDG25 before deployment, United Rentals ensured that the unit would maintain its professional appearance through multiple rental cycles without requiring early repainting. The ceramicized epoxy barrier protects against UV fading, chemical splash from jobsite contaminants, and the surface scuffs and scratches that accumulate during transport and operation.

For rental fleet operators, proactive coating of new equipment is an investment in reducing long-term maintenance costs. Every unit that avoids a repaint cycle saves $1,500 to $10,000+ in direct costs plus the revenue lost during downtime.

DEMONSTRATING THE COMPLETE PROCESS

THE GENERATOR THAT SHOWED HOW INDUROPRO WORKS

This installation also served as the live demonstration for how to apply InduroPro, documenting the full process from surface preparation and product mixing to final coating. The generator provided a real-world platform to show how InduroPro is applied correctly for maximum durability and performance.

InduroPro is not a wax or wipe-on ceramic coating--it is a semi-permanent ceramicized epoxy coating designed for industrial equipment. Once bonded to properly prepared surfaces, it delivers long-term protection against corrosion, UV damage, and surface wear without requiring frequent reapplication or specialized cleaning products. For United Rentals, this means equipment that stays protected, easier to maintain, and ready for demanding jobsite conditions. When your fleet looks its best and stays protected longer, it’s easier to keep equipment in circulation—generating more revenue with less downtime.
