 Topic: Sunbelt Rental Tools ?
Posted: 14 Apr 2020 at 6:48pm |

Seems like the "Sunbelt" rental equipment is painted an odd shade of green. A lot of the equipment is Bobcat stuff, so I wondered if under the green paint is white paint?

I dont know if they are repainted, or painted from the factory. I use to work at the Springfield Allis Dozer plant many years ago.. When Russia or Europe ordered a series of tractors, sometimes they wanted them white / green / other... Normally they were run down the line and painted the color they wanted. If it was just a few tractors and we had some outback in STOCK... they would run them thru the paint booth and put the white OVER the yellow. ............. so it can go either way.

They change the color of the powder coat when they have a run of rentals. I worked at bobcat.

Thanks for the answer, so there's no "white" paint under the green  ?

I was looking at a Google earth picture of the JCB plant in Savanna, Ga and there is a whole area of green painted telehandlers on their storage lot. In another spot are a bunch of the high speed combat backhoes painted camo.
