Founded in 1984 by Gene Rahll and Steve Berner, Rabern Rentals has grown from a small party rental store to a premier provider of equipment rental and sales in the Texas Panhandle, including Amarillo, Hereford, and Lubbock. Initially focused on party supplies and homeowner equipment, the company has significantly expanded its inventory to include heavy industrial machinery and comprehensive solutions for both contractors and homeowners.
With over 70 employees, Rabern Rentals is committed to fostering a culture of integrity, exceptional customer service, and community engagement. The business values its relationships with customers and strives to maintain a friendly, family-oriented atmosphere. This commitment to customer satisfaction has been upheld through various leadership transitions, including the partnership with Seth Havens, who played a pivotal role in expanding the company's reach and offerings before his passing in 2019.
Under the leadership of Steve Berner, the company underwent a strategic shift in 2022 when it sold 70% of the business to Manitex International, aimed at enhancing growth while retaining its core values. Throughout its 40 years in operation, Rabern Rentals has prioritized community involvement, often participating in local events and charities, demonstrating a belief that supporting the community leads to mutual benefit.
Rabern Rentals features four outlets across the region and is expected to continue growing its services, maintaining an extensive range of rental equipment and sales options, including tools necessary for maintaining outdoor spaces and assisting professionals in the construction industry. From heavy machinery to landscaping tools, Rabern Rentals prides itself on offering high-quality equipment and expert advice, ensuring customers have the resources they need to succeed.
