For more than four decades, Minnesota-based Aspen Equipment Co. has catered to the needs of the railroad maintenance business through the production, service and rental of railroad truck equipment to customers spanning the United States and Canada, including Class 1, transit, short-line and rail contractors. As the company's railroad truck equipment business expands and evolves, customer service is priority.

Through its strategic planning process, Aspen will focus resources and energies on the production and service of new railroad truck equipment. Aspen's goal is to maximize the impact on customers by deploying resources where they provide the most value. The management of Aspen has decided to find a partner to acquire the rental fleet of rail truck equipment in order to redeploy those assets toward production, sales and service.

In an effort to continue to service existing rental customers, Aspen selected Danella Companies Inc., a rail maintenance equipment rental company across North America. On March 1, 2020, Danella acquired all railroad rental equipment and assume the associated rental contracts from Aspen Equipment. Jointly, Aspen and Danella will make every effort to ensure this transition period is seamless for all those affected.
