H&E Equipment Services Opens Branch in New Castle, its First in Delaware
Effective September 23, H&E Equipment Services Inc. has opened a New Castle, Del, branch, its first in the state of Delaware.
The 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 working throughout Delaware, eastern Maryland, and southern New Jersey.
“H&E has served the Baltimore-Washington area for many years, and we opened a facility in Philadelphia earlier this year,” said branch manager Todd Legg, who has worked in the region for more than 30 years. “Our New Castle branch is directly in the middle of those locations, allowing us to reach customers in growing suburban areas just outside of the major cities. With the efficiency that comes with locating branches closely along the major north-south interstate system, we will be able to move equipment into place for customers all around the quad-state area. Steady population trends, increasing GDP, and other favorable local economic conditions show a strong, long-term construction forecast, and with one of the youngest fleets in the industry, we can deliver reliable equipment for any project in the area.”
The New Castle 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.
Founded in 1961, H&E Equipment Services is one of the largest equipment rental companies in the nation, providing equipment rentals, sales, parts, and service. Branches are located throughout the Pacific Northwest, West Coast, Intermountain, Southwest, Gulf Coast, Southeast, Midwest, and Mid-Atlantic regions.
