H&E Equipment Services Opens New West San Antonio Branch
Effective August 1, H&E Equipment Services has opened a new branch in West San Antonio, its third facility in the metropolitan area and its 21st in the state of Texas.
The new branch includes a fully fenced yard area, offices, and a separate repair shop and is capable of handling a variety of construction and general industrial equipment for customers on the western side of the metro San Antonio area.
“H&E has done business in Texas since our inception and has operated in San Antonio for over 25 years,” said branch manager Paul Flores. “We’re no stranger to the area or market here. In working with our existing branch on the eastern side of the city and in nearby Schertz, we are able to offer our customers even greater efficiency and responsiveness when they need rental equipment. The construction market is forecast to be strong. We have one of the youngest fleets in the industry represented by some of the best names in the business, so we are poised and ready to supply the rental equipment needed for those projects.”
The West San Antonio branch specializes in the rental of aerial lifts, telescopic forklifts, earthmoving machinery, compaction equipment, generators, compressors, and more and represents the following manufacturers: Allmand, Atlas Copco, Bomag, Case, Club Car, Cushman, Doosan, Gehl, Generac Mobile, Genie, Hilti, Husqvarna, JCB, JLG, John Deere, Kubota, LayMor, Ledwell, Lincoln Electric, Link-Belt Excavators, MEC, Miller, Multiquip, Polaris, Skyjack, SkyTrak, Sullair, Sullivan-Palatek, TAG, Taylor, Towmaster Trailers, Wacker Neuson, Yanmar, and others.
