H&E Rentals, Baton Rouge, La., has opened a branch in Columbus, Ohio — the company’s first general rental location in the state.
H&E now operates in 31 states. The company has opened 21 new branches across the country and acquired nine others in just over a year.
The Columbus facility includes a fully fenced yard area, offices and repair shop, and carries a variety of construction and general industrial equipment.
“H&E’s expansion into central Ohio increases our presence in the Midwest, and our location in Columbus provides reach to a wide radius of projects across the state,” said Perry Rice, branch manager. “We have assembled a diverse fleet and have the resources to serve customers extending to Dayton, Lima, Mansfield, Wooster, Cambridge, Parkersburg, Chillicothe and all points in between. Our new facility is just off I-70, and our proximity to I-670, I-71, I-270 and other major roadways means that we can move rental equipment to job sites quickly and efficiently. We may be new to the Buckeye State, but we’re certainly not new to the equipment rental business. We look forward to establishing new relationships and showing customers our higher standard of service.”
The Columbus branch offers rental of aerial lifts, earthmoving equipment, telescopic forklifts, compaction equipment, generators, light towers, compressors and more.
