Since taking over Economy Rentals in 2022, Two Wheel Tech owner Derek Jantz has been on a mission to revitalize the equipment rental market in the qathet region. Over the past two years, Jantz and his team have been hard at work updating and expanding their fleet to include everything from mini excavators and skid steers to specialized gardening and construction equipment.
The goal? To provide the community with access to high-quality, reliable rental options for homeowners and contractors.
Under Jantz’s leadership, Two Wheel Tech has seen a significant overhaul of its inventory and services.
“We’ve replaced almost everything,” explains Jantz. “We have an impressive list of new additions such as mini excavators, skid steers, scissor lifts, carpet cleaners, industrial vacuums, industrial floor sanders, gas axe saws, demolition hammers, drills, chop saws, diamond-bladed saws, cement mixers and plate compactors.”
Right now, there is a high demand for dehumidifiers and air movers due to frequent flooding, he adds.
“We’ve updated our inventory with brand new models of both to ensure we can meet this need effectively. With seasonal flooding, products like power snakes and hand snakes are getting picked up.”
Two Wheel Tech also ensures spring lawn care is a breeze. As a certified Generac and DR Equipment dealer, Jantz rents out power washers, thatchers, aerators, rototillers, brush cutters, woodchippers and more.
“Looking ahead, we anticipate a surge in demand for our excavators and lawn care equipment, including extended-reach weed trimmers and hedge trimmers, as construction activities ramp up and lawn care becomes a priority for many. Our inventory is diverse, catering to a wide range of needs across different times of the year, ensuring we have the right tool for any job.”
For welders, dentists and pub owners, Two Wheel Tech has a local option for Linde Messer gas solutions.
It’s not just about having the best tools for the job. Jantz emphasizes the importance of customer service, offering unique perks such as a 10 per cent discount for seniors and free delivery of larger equipmet, such as, excavators, skid steer, or scissor lift, on multi-day rentals.
“We want to make sure everyone knows we’re here, open for business, with friendly staff and reliable equipment,” he adds.
Since acquiring Economy Rentals, Jantz and his team of eight have transformed a 7,500-square-foot building from a hoarder’s paradise into a sleek, modern rental facility. The renovation reflects Two Wheel Tech’s broader vision of providing a professional, welcoming space for customers to explore rental options.
“We know people have a choice of who they rent from in town, and we are working to be the company they think of first. With good products and good service I think we can get there,” says Jantz, adding that it’s important to have available and reliable inventory for his customers, especially contractors who rely on equipment that won’t fail on the job.
“We’re focused on having what our customers need, when they need it.”
Jantz said his team is professional, courteous, friendly and ready to assist with expert advice and a personal touch. With an updated fleet and a focus on customer satisfaction, they are ready to meet the community’s equipment rental needs.
