Perkins plans to promote its range of diesel engines tailored for rental customers’ equipment at the American Rental Association (ARA) Show, to be held in Orlando, Florida, USA, from March 2 to 4, 2026.The company’s engines can power a wide variety of rental equipment, including water pumps, compressors, welders, mobile generator sets, compact track loaders, mini-excavators, aerial work platforms and more.

At the exhibition, Perkins will showcase its 904 Series 3.6-liter engine – a compact, high power-density power platform designed for rental equipment such as small telehandlers and skid-steer loaders, delivering up to 121 horsepower (90 kW).This four-cylinder engine meets the U.S. Tier 4 Final emissions standards and offers optimal performance in terms of power, peak and low-speed torque, fuel consumption, and transient response.It is engineered for reliability and ease of maintenance, with multiple configuration options available to fit compact engine compartments.

The Perkins 404J-E22T engine will also be on display at the show.Designed specifically for compact machinery, this engine series features stronger torque reserve, further expanding the power coverage of the 400 Series engine across regions with different emission regulations. The 400J Series engines are suitable for a wide range of compact construction and industrial equipment, including mini-excavators, skid-steer loaders, small wheel loaders, forklifts, compressors, welders, aerial work platforms, compaction equipment, sweepers, water pumps, and more.

In addition, the Perkins Rental Support Programme (PRSP) will be highlighted as a key exhibit. This programme provides a wide range of resources and tools to help rental businesses improve operational efficiency and expand commercial opportunities.Perkins is a member of the SmartEquip network, which enables flexible parts ordering, easy access to parts manuals, and precise advanced search functions.

Corey Berry, Global Rental Sales and Marketing Manager at Perkins, stated:“The rental industry is more competitive than ever before, and rental solutions must exceed customer expectations in terms of reliability, durability, and ease of use.We have prepared targeted power solutions and technical resources designed to help rental companies maximize equipment uptime, accelerate equipment return-to-readiness processes, establish clear support communication channels, and give rental equipment operators greater confidence when using Perkins-powered engines.”
