Northside Tool Rental (NTR), a family-owned equipment rental company in Atlanta, has acquired Able 2 Rent All in Fayetteville and Patrick’s Rentals & Sales in McDonough, expanding to six metro Atlanta locations.
The deal unites three longtime Atlanta rental families — the Milling, Nickell, and Douville families — under one company. NTR, founded in 1953 by Roy Milling, is now led by Jeff and Steffen Lignugaris, with Josh Nickell serving as CEO.
NTR said the acquisitions support its strategy to grow across Atlanta while serving small- and mid-size contractors. The Fayetteville and McDonough locations will rebrand as Northside Tool Rental but keep their staff and customer-focused approach. The Douville family will retain ownership of the properties.
Cooper Douville will remain with the company, leading NTR’s south Atlanta operations and helping integrate the new locations. NTR also plans to invest in fleet, technology, and staffing at both branches through 2026.
