Municipal public works departments and water and sewer utilities now have a single national partner for the specialized equipment their operations depend on.
Rentix Solutions, formed through the merger of JDC (formerly known as Jack Doheny Companies) and Vacuum Truck Rentals, recently announced operations as a national specialty rental platform with over 36 locations, over 3,200 pieces of specialized equipment, and 24/7 service availability across the U.S.
For municipalities managing aging sewer infrastructure, water utility maintenance, and public works operations, Rentix Solutions addresses one of the most common procurement challenges in the field: finding a single, reliable vendor who can provide the right equipment, keep it running, and be there when something goes wrong — regardless of where the work is located.
The combined platform brings together JDC's 50 years of service to municipal water and sewer departments — including combination sewer cleaners, inspection systems, hydroexcavators, and aerial boom trucks — with VTR's 25-plus year track record. The result is a vendor capable of supporting a municipality's full range of specialty equipment needs from a single contract relationship.
What this means for municipal procurement
• One vendor for sewer maintenance, hydrovac, inspection, aerial lift and vacuum truck
needs
• Over 36 locations means shorter transport distances and faster equipment availability
• More than 300,000 parts SKUs on hand minimizes downtime when field repairs are needed
• Over 100 certified service bays for maintenance and emergency repair
• 24/7 availability with no after-hours surcharge on rental support
• Equipment sales, parts and service available alongside rental
Rentix Solutions will be led by CEO Payton Lockey, who brings deep operational experience in specialty equipment and a leadership approach built on customer focus, operational excellence, and team culture. Also leading the company is COO B.T. Steadman, who brings nearly three decades of experience in operational excellence and customer satisfaction.
“This is a merger of two great companies, and that is exactly how we are approaching it,” Lockey says. “We are bringing together the best of both organizations to build something stronger than either of us was alone. Our customers, our teams, and our vendors will all benefit from what we are creating together.”
“Our customers have come to depend on us because we provide the best equipment and we stand beside them until the work is done,” Steadman adds. “That does not change. What changes is that now there are more of us, in more places, with more to offer.”
