H&E expands along the East and Gulf Coasts

The new H&E Rentals branch near Myrtle Beach, S.C.

H&E Rentals, Baton Rouge, La., has opened new branches in the Myrtle Beach, S.C., area and in Bradenton, Fla.

H&E has opened 20 new branches across the country and acquired nine others in just over a year.

The South Carolina facility in Conway, S.C., is the company’s fourth general rental equipment location in the state.

“H&E has extended its coverage along the South Carolina coast, from Georgetown up to the North Carolina state line, and then inland to I-95 from Dillon to Manning. We can easily reach all points in between with close proximity to state highways 501, 701 and 368, and to major roadways that branch off in all directions,” said Joe Pannunzio, branch manager of the Conway facility. “Our location strategically bridges the gap between our existing Charleston, South Carolina, and Wilmington, North Carolina, branches, so we are able to help both new and existing customers secure the right equipment for their projects.”

The Bradenton, Fla., branch is the company’s 14th general rental location in the Sunshine State and the sixth new Florida branch in the past two years.

“The location of our new Bradenton branch gives H&E expanded coverage of south-central Florida along the Gulf. Renting equipment is now even more convenient for customers along the coast — from just above I-275, down through Sarasota and Venice, to Englewood — and then inland to Myakka City and Arcadia,” said Sara Paris, branch manager. “Our facility is near highways 301, 41 and 70, and sits between our established Tampa and Fort Myers general rental locations, so we are able to source the equipment you need from an expanded local fleet and move it directly to your job site.”

Both new branches include fully fenced yard areas, offices and repair shops, and carry a variety of construction and general industrial equipment.

The new branches offer the rental of aerial lifts, earthmoving equipment, telescopic forklifts, compaction equipment, generators, light towers, compressors and more.
