01

ONE DAY DOWNTIME & BACK TO WORK.
The TL12R2 was coated, cured, and back in the rental pool in a single day — because a machine this in-demand cannot afford to sit any longer than it has to.
02

INDUROPRO COVERS CYLINDERS AND ALL.
Lift arm cylinders showing surface rust and abrasion wear were coated alongside the cab and red arm panels — sealing exposed metal that jobsite contact had already started working against.
03

1.5 KITS. FULL COVERAGE
One 17oz kit and one 8.5oz kit covered the full cab, red lift arms, arm cylinders, and exposed metal fittings on this compact track loader.

MOST RENTED. NOW PROTECTED.
The TL12R2 is one of the highest-utilization machines on the United Rentals El Dorado lot — and now every surface heading into that rental rotation is sealed for five years.

THE MACHINE THAT NEVER STOPS WORKING NEEDS PROTECTION THAT KEEPS UP.

COMPACT TRACK LOADERS DON'T SIT STILL. NEITHER DOES EQUIPMENT DAMAGE.

Compact track loaders are the workhorses of any rental fleet. They go out on more jobs, to more operators, in more conditions than almost any other machine on the lot. They dig, grade, push, carry, and maneuver through jobsites that would stop a wheeled machine in its tracks — literally. And because they are so versatile, so capable, and so in-demand, they rarely sit still long enough for anyone to think about what all that use is doing to their surface. UV fading on the painted panels. Abrasion wear where the lift arms and cylinders contact the ground and attachment hardware. Edge rust forming on the grey body panels where the paint chips and moisture finds the metal underneath. On a machine that cycles through operator after operator and jobsite after jobsite, that surface degradation accumulates faster than it does on anything else in the fleet.

The United Rentals team in El Dorado, AR chose their Takeuchi TL12R2 for an InduroPro application for exactly that reason. This is one of the most rented machines on their lot — and one of the most exposed to the conditions that break down unprotected surfaces. The InduroPro team coated the full cab, red lift arms, arm cylinders, and exposed metal fittings in a single day. One and a half kits. Acetone prepped. Every surface sealed. The machine was back in the rental pool the next morning, protected for five years of the hard rental cycling that was already working against it.

WHERE RENTAL TRACK LOADERS TAKE THEIR WORST SURFACE DAMAGE.

THE CYLINDERS ARE WHERE IT STARTS. INDUROPRO IS WHERE IT STOPS.

The lift arm cylinders on a compact track loader take constant punishment. Every cycle of the boom arm puts mechanical stress on the cylinder rods. Jobsite debris contacts the painted surfaces. Chips and scratches expose bare metal, and moisture finds those spots every time it rains. On the TL12R2 at United Rentals El Dorado, the cylinders were already showing surface rust and abrasion wear at application — the kind of damage that spreads quietly between rental cycles while the machine is out earning revenue.

InduroPro ceramicized epoxy was applied directly over those surfaces — rust and all. When InduroPro fully encapsulates existing rust, it seals off the moisture and oxygen that rust needs to keep spreading. The cylinder rods, the arm panels, the grey body sections showing edge wear — every surface that had already started to go was sealed in a single application. The damage stops where InduroPro starts. And on a machine that goes back out the next day, that matters more than most operators stop to think about.

FULL CAB, RED ARMS, EXPOSED METAL. NOTHING SKIPPED.

EVERY SURFACE THIS MACHINE HAS IS NOW PROTECTED.

Compact track loaders present a more complex coating surface than most equipment. The cab panels, the red boom arms, the grey structural body sections, the lift arm cylinders, the attachment mounting hardware — every part of this machine operates in a different surface environment and takes damage in a different way. The cab takes UV. The arms take abrasion. The cylinders take mechanical wear and moisture. The grey body sections take edge chipping wherever the paint meets a corner or a seam. The InduroPro team coated all of it. One and a half kits across every surface the TL12R2 has, applied to a machine that was going straight back into the hardest rental rotation on the lot. No surface was skipped because no surface is safe from what rental cycling does to unprotected equipment over time.

THE MACHINE THAT ROLLED BACK OUT THE NEXT DAY.

DOWNTIME IS EXPENSIVE WHEN YOUR MOST RENTED MACHINE IS SITTING STILL.

For a machine as in-demand as the Takeuchi TL12R2, every day it sits on the lot instead of a jobsite is a day of lost rental revenue. That reality shapes every maintenance decision United Rentals makes on high-utilization equipment — and it is exactly why the one-day turnaround on an InduroPro application matters as much as the protection itself. The InduroPro team came in, prepped every surface with acetone, applied one and a half kits across the full machine, and handed it back. The TL12R2 rolled back out into the lot the next morning, fully protected and ready for the next rental. No extended downtime. No repainting schedule. No waiting on cure times that pull a revenue-generating machine from the pool for days.

The protection that is now on this machine will outlast the next several rental cycles without any additional maintenance. UV fading on the cab panels slowed. Edge rust on the grey body sections stopped. Lift arm cylinders sealed against the moisture and abrasion that had already started working against them. Five-year guarantee on every surface treated. For fleet managers running high-utilization equipment that cannot afford to sit, InduroPro is the maintenance investment that pays for itself the first time a repaint does not have to happen. One day in. Five years of protection out. The TL12R2 at United Rentals El Dorado is back on the job. That is exactly where it belongs.

INDUROPRO FOR HIGH-UTILIZATION RENTAL EQUIPMENT. PROTECT WHAT EARNS.

YOUR MOST RENTED MACHINE DESERVES YOUR BEST PROTECTION.

The equipment that generates the most revenue in a rental fleet is also the equipment that takes the most surface abuse. High utilization means more operators, more jobsites, more UV cycles, more abrasion, more moisture contact — and less time sitting still long enough for anyone to notice what is happening to the finish. By the time surface degradation is visible enough to act on, it has usually been building for seasons. InduroPro ceramicized epoxy changes the maintenance equation for high-utilization rental equipment by making protection a one-time decision rather than a recurring problem. Applied once, it seals every treated surface against the UV fading, rust, corrosion, abrasion, and edge wear that rental cycling produces — and it does it without pulling the machine from revenue-generating work for more than a single day.

The Takeuchi TL12R2 at United Rentals El Dorado is back in the rental pool, protected for five years, with one and a half kits of InduroPro between its surfaces and everything the next hundred rental cycles will throw at it. For fleet managers thinking about where to prioritize surface protection across a mixed equipment fleet, the answer is the same every time. Start with the machine that never stops working.
