EquipmentShare is a private American company specializing in construction equipment rental, sales, and technology services. Founded in 2015 by brothers Jabbok and Willy Schlacks in Columbia, Missouri, the company was born from their vision to disrupt the traditional construction industry by offering innovative tools and platforms that leverage technology to improve job site productivity and safety. Initially conceived as a peer-to-peer equipment sharing marketplace, EquipmentShare has rapidly evolved into a comprehensive construction technology and equipment solutions provider.

Headquartered in Columbia, Missouri, EquipmentShare has expanded significantly and, as of 2025, operates over 326 locations across 44 U.S. states. The company offers a range of services including equipment rental, sales of new and used machinery, parts and tools, and digital solutions such as fleet management and telematics, which help contractors optimize their operations through data-driven insights.

EquipmentShare’s growth has been marked by significant investment and expansion, including a $3 billion senior secured asset-based revolving credit facility closed with Capital One Bank in 2023. The company recently opened a new Technology and Development Center at its Columbia headquarters, a $100 million facility expected to create 500 jobs and further its commitment to innovation in construction technology.

The company culture emphasizes community investment and employee engagement, providing initiatives such as paid volunteer time and company-wide charitable programs. With a strong presence in the Midwest and nationwide, EquipmentShare continues to modernize the construction industry through its integrated approach to equipment rental and technology-driven solutions.

The founders’ initial vision focused on saving contractors money and improving project management through equipment sharing and technological innovation, which remains central to their mission of transforming construction sites into safer, more efficient workplaces.
