Welcome to April’s edition of our “What’s New at Durante Rentals” newsletter! With spring in the air, and job-sites and projects in full swing after a brutal winter, we wanted to let our valued customers know what we’ve been working on to better serve you moving forward.

Our newest location in Elmsford is now open

for business!

We’ve been working around the clock to stock this location with everything offered at our other three locations including air tools, compressors, chainsaws, generators, boom lifts, and more.

Did we mention that our Elmsford location will be the main showroom for our newest Takeuchi line? Make sure to stop by and demo one of these beautiful machines. We have many new models already on hand including their most popular skid steers, mini excavators, and track loaders.

We’re located right across the street from the well-known Paul Bunyan statue at the BP gas station. Our address is 122 N. Saw Mill River Rd., Elmsford, NY 10523.
