H&E Rentals, Baton Rouge, La., has opened a new branch in Decatur, Ala. The branch is the company’s sixth location in the state of Alabama. Since the second quarter of 2023, H&E has opened 16 new branches across the country and acquired five others.

The facility includes a fully-fenced yard area, offices and a repair shop and carries a variety of construction and general industrial equipment.

“The location of our Decatur branch complements our existing facility in Huntsville, just 20 miles to the east. Our territory now provides even greater coverage to northwest Alabama, extending over to Mississippi and also reaching above the state line into Tennessee and down along I-65 and I-22. We can serve customers in Decatur, Athens, Hartselle, Vinemont, Hamilton, Russellville, and Florence, as well as Lewisburg and Pulaski, Tenn., and points in between,” said Josh Benner, branch manager. “By having several H&E facilities within reach, we can source equipment from an expanded fleet and provide the specific unit that is needed for any job, including pump and power products from our Birmingham (specialty) location.”

The Decatur branch specializes in the rental of aerial lifts, earthmoving equipment, telescopic forklifts, compaction equipment, generators, light towers, compressors and more.
