H&E Equipment Services opened a new branch in the Forestville, Md., area, joining the nearby Baltimore store in beefing up its Maryland rental services. Located in District Heights, Md., the branch will provide full-service coverage to customers in the Metro D.C. and southern Maryland areas.
The 18,900-square-foot facility sits on two acres with a full-fenced and paved yard area, offices, parts warehouse and a nine-bay repair shop.
“As we continue to expand our presence in the Washington, D.C., area, we are reinforcing the value of our full-service model by providing a better choice for customers within this thriving metropolitan area,” said Keith Poff, regional vice president. “The Forestville location will make it more convenient for customers in Washington, D.C. and southern Maryland to benefit from all we offer, including rentals, sales, parts and service. Our factory-trained technicians and product support professionals will be in the area on a daily basis, providing a high level of equipment service our customers can depend on.”
Based in Baton Rouge, La., H&E Equipment Services is No. 7 on the RER 100.
