H&E Equipment Services Opens Branch in Florida’s Space Coast
H&E Equipment Services Inc. opened a new branch in Malabar Bay, Fla., near Palm Bay, its 12th branch in the state of Florida. It includes a fully fenced yard area, offices, and a separate repair shop and can handle a variety of construction and general industrial equipment for customers along Florida’s Space Coast.
“H&E is expanding throughout Florida and has opened four new branches in the state in just this year alone,” said branch manager Stephen Bone, referring to 2022. “With the addition of this newest branch on the Atlantic coast, our Palm Bay location creates a service triangle with our existing Orlando and Lakeland branches to effectively locate fleet to fill any customer need. We can also better reach our customer base in Cocoa Beach, Melbourne, Palm Bay, Vero Beach, and all along the coast of Central Florida with our close proximity to I-95. In the next five years, this area will see nonresidential construction increase to the tune of over $9 billion, and we will have a good mix of equipment available to serve any project. We plan to grow right along with our customers.”
The Palm Bay 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.
