Which code does this activity belong in?
General Rental Centers comprise establishments that rent a diverse range of equipment from conveniently located retail-like facilities with maintained inventories available for short-term rental. The boundary with Consumer Goods Rental lies in scope: General Rental Centers include items like contractors' tools and party equipment alongside consumer goods, whereas Consumer Goods Rental focuses exclusively on personal and household-type goods. Commercial and Industrial Machinery and Equipment Rental and Leasing serves businesses seeking capital equipment for extended operational use from non-retail facilities, differing from the short-term, walk-in rental model of General Rental Centers.
