Family-Owned Equipment Rental in Indianapolis, IN
Don't start your project without us. One of the largest selections in the Midwest.
Temple Rents Inc. has served Indianapolis contractors, homeowners, and industrial operators since 1949, and the same family commitment that opened our doors is what keeps them open today.
Temple Rents Inc. Has Called Indianapolis Home Since 1949
Temple Rents Inc. is a locally owned equipment rental company serving Indianapolis, Indiana, and the surrounding metro area since 1949, providing residential, commercial, and industrial customers with one of the largest equipment rental selections in the Midwest. Our doors opened during the post-war building boom that transformed Indianapolis and the surrounding region. We set up at 3335 W Washington, Indianapolis, Indiana 46222, in 1967, and we have served the same community from that same location ever since.
More than 75 years in business means our staff has seen and rented every category of equipment across every kind of project in the Indianapolis metro. That depth of experience shows in the breadth of our fleet: compaction, excavating, scaffolding, concrete, floor equipment, manlifts, heaters, compressors, trailers, and much more. We have watched Indianapolis grow outward and upward, and the range of equipment we carry reflects every phase of that growth. When a contractor calls us with an unusual job, we almost certainly have what they need, and we have rented something like it before.
We are not a franchise and not a national chain. Decisions are made locally. Equipment is maintained locally. The people who answer the phone know the Indianapolis Metro Area because they live and work here. You can reach us at 317-636-4437, Monday through Friday, 7:30 AM to 5:00 PM. Those hours reflect the way local contractors and homeowners actually work.
Current Ownership and Staff Expertise Built for Your Job Site
Temple Rents is a family owned and operated business established in 1949. Mr. John Temple founded and ran 2 Indianapolis locations until he retired in the 1980's. He sold the current location on West Washington St. to the Copas family who continues to grow and run the business. Focused on customer satisfaction we take pride in building lasting relationships with our customers, knowing that our hands-on approach still means something in today's competitive environment.
When you rent from us, you are dealing with a local owner who has a direct stake in the quality of service provided, not a regional manager of a national chain. Local ownership means accountability lives close to the customer, not in a corporate office somewhere else. Our staff is skilled and fully trained, and that standard is set and maintained by ownership that shows up every day.
Skilled and fully trained staff means something concrete on your first call: you get the right equipment recommendation without the back-and-forth, accurate sizing guidance for compaction runs or manlift reach requirements, and honest answers about what you actually need for the job in front of you. That is a different experience from renting at a national brand where counter staff rotate frequently and institutional knowledge is thin. When you need to know whether a specific machine fits your project, browse our equipment rental inventory or give us a call. We will give you a straight answer.
