H&E Equipment Services Relocates to Larger Facility in OKC Area
H&E Equipment Services has moved its Oklahoma City operation to a newly constructed facility in Yukon, Okla., and will serve the entire Oklahoma City area. The new 20,000-square-foot facility sits on 5.24 acres, with office space, a parts warehouse, large yard area and an eight-bay repair shop that includes two 5-ton overhead cranes. The shop can repair a variety of machines from compact construction equipment to large earthmoving units, H&E said.
The H&E Oklahoma City branch specializes in aerial lifts, telescopic forklifts, compact and large earthmoving equipment and general construction equipment from manufacturers such as Atlas Copco, Gehl, Genie, JLG, Lincoln Electric, Magnum, Miller, Multiquip, Okada, Skytrak, Skyjack, Takeuchi, Wacker, Yanmar and more.
“OKC is one of the fastest growing economies in the country,” said Tim Morse, branch manager. “The construction of this new facility demonstrates our commitment to grow alongside it and expand to better serve customers. Our new branch significantly broadens our capabilities in rentals, new and used equipment sales, parts and service, not to mention growth in personnel. Existing and new customers will be pleased by all we have to offer. We have the resources they can depend on to take care of their equipment needs.”
In addition to equipment rentals, the Oklahoma City branch provides new and used equipment sales, in-shop and mobile service, a comprehensive parts inventory, training and other value-added services.
Based in Baton Rouge, La., H&E Equipment Services is No. 7 on the RER 100.
