Shelbyville’s Advantage Tool Rental, 2500 E. Michigan Road, and Sean Eberhart have been one and the same for a long time. But that time has come to a close with the acquisition of the business by Sunbelt Rentals.

Eberhart says the transition took place in just a matter of days last week.

Sunbelt Rentals is a private company with over 14,000 employees and over 1,000 locations with headquarters in South Carolina.

Eberhart says the decision to sell Advantage was simply a matter of good timing and having the right situation present itself.

Customers of Advantage Tool will see much the same look regarding the people staffing the new Sunbelt site.

Eberhart says, for his immediate future, there are no set plans.  Not yet, anyway.

Eberhart notes Sunbelt will establish some larger equipment available for rentals at the site and the company’s multiple locations, including Indianapolis and Columbus, will mean more equipment offerings available.
