Durante Rentals and their earth-moving division, New York Takeuchi, will be showcasing their construction equipment and tools at the 29th NYC Parks Construction Equipment and Vehicle Show. The event hosted by the NYC Department of Citywide Administrative Services and NYC Parks will take place on Thursday, May 11th, from 9:00am till 2:00pm, in Flushing Meadows Corona Park. In case of inclement weather, the rain date is scheduled for Friday, May 12th.

Durante Rentals will have an assortment of construction equipment on display around the circumference of the Unisphere, including new Takeuchi excavators, skid steers and track loaders. This year they are featuring the new Takeuchi TB216H hybrid electric excavator. Attendees are encouraged to take an up-close look at these powerful, rugged, cutting-edge machines and to take advantage of special show pricing.

This is Durante Rentals third consecutive appearance at this free event. Last year's show had the highest attendance to date with attendees enjoying free vendor giveaways, complimentary lunch, and interactive product demonstrations. “We love exhibiting at this show,” said Adam Zunic, Durante Rentals Director of Marketing. “You feel the enthusiasm of the crowd as soon as you enter the exhibition area around the Unisphere. The NYC Parks crew does a great job of creating an extremely festive atmosphere.”

The show highlights vendors like Durante Rentals and New York Takeuchi who support NYC's Clean Fleet and Vision Zero initiatives. There will be other vendors offering a wide array of products to improve vehicle safety including cameras, truck side guards, systems to track and manage fleets, and systems to avoid or mitigate collisions. The show also highlights construction vehicles and equipment with alternative fuels and emissions reducing technologies, along with the latest in light and heavy-duty vehicles, trucks, horticultural equipment, tools, fleet services, and more.
