How this valuation is worked out
Rental yards are priced on earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation, commonly 4 to 6.5 times, with the value of the rental fleet acting as a floor underneath that number.
A worked example
A single-location yard with $3.1M of revenue, 72% of it rental, an average fleet age of five years and $620K of earnings after a yard manager. At 5× that is roughly $3.1M, with a fleet appraisal of $2.6M confirming the earnings figure is the right one.

Common questions
Is the fleet included in the price?
Yes — it generates the earnings. Its own value acts as a floor if the earnings multiple comes out lower.
How much does fleet age matter?
A great deal. Buyers build a replacement schedule and deduct the coming spend from what they will pay.
Does selling equipment help?
Sales add revenue at lower margin. Yards weighted toward rental revenue are valued more generously.
