Sunbelt Rentals to add building, storage to Grapevine campus

Equipment and tool rental company Sunbelt Rentals is planning to build a 33,880 square foot building for its Aerial Work Platform division as well as a battery energy storage system on its Grapevine campus.

The plans for the new building and energy storage system were approved by the city council and planning and zoning commission at the Oct. 20 joint meeting.

The specifics: The sunbelt site in Grapevine is now 27.5 acres after an additional 5 acres were added earlier this year.

The battery energy storage system will help the facility conserve power by storing it during off-peak hours and acting as a generator to use the power during high demand hours or during power outages.
