With great sorrow, we announce the passing of long-time PDQ Rentals team member and leader, Eddie Pittman.

 

Ed started with PDQ in 1978. Beginning as a yardie in Customer Service, Ed’s ability and knowledge quickly earned him promotions to Assistant Rental Manager and then to Manager. Because of his interest and intuition in computers, he migrated to become our IT person and Purchasing/Inventory Manager. Incredibly dependable, Ed volunteered to work evenings, nights and weekends to perform inventories, to monitor and install upgrades to our computer system, and to respond to alarms.

 

Ed was born in 1956. He and his wife Melodie were married for more than 40 years and raised four children, Candice, Brynn, Lindsey and Zack. Ed was a dedicated family man and a dog lover. When a friend needed help, Ed was first to pitch in.

 

We have lost one of the good guys but he will always be remembered.

Dennis and Todd Turner

Employers are responsible for providing workplaces that are safe from excessive heat. Yet every year, thousands of workers become sick from exposure to heat, and some even die. Heat illnesses and deaths are preventable. The risk of heat-related illnesses and deaths increases during warm summer months; humidity increases the risk. Heat stroke is the most serious heat-related illness. It occurs when the body becomes unable to control its temperature: body temperature rises rapidly, the sweating mechanism fails, and the body is unable to cool down. Body temperature may rise to 106°F or higher within 10 to 15 minutes. Heat stroke can cause death or permanent disability if emergency treatment is not provided.

So, we work hard at keeping our environmental impact low, using only water-based paints and carefully using and properly disposing of any solvents or petroleum products. Water use is carefully monitored, using reclaimed water wherever possible. We also recycle as much scrap material as we can. Snorkel products deliver time and time again.

During this time, Summit Supply had also begun stocking undercarriage parts for many popular makes and models of equipment. Summit Supply expanded its product offerings to include Undercarriage Wear Parts (Sprockets, Top and Bottom Roller, and Idlers), and Solid Rubber Skidsteer tires. Rubber Track Pads to fit steel tracks were also introduced for many popular makes and models of machines. Summit Supply currently operates 12 distribution locations in California, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Oregon, Texas, Virginia and Washington, and has also expanded the Summit Supply brand into Canada.
