H&E Equipment Services Opens New Branch in Mobile, Ala., Area
Effective June 15, 2023, H&E Equipment Services Inc. announces the opening of its new Theodore, Ala., branch, near Mobile. The facility is the company’s fifth rental location in the state of Alabama.
“Our new Mobile branch extends our Gulf Coast reach and fills in a geographic gap between our existing facilities in New Orleans to the west and Fort Walton Beach to the east,” said branch manager Sean Preece. “Just off I-10 and near I-65 and various state highways, we are favorably positioned to efficiently move equipment to any job site in Mobile and neighboring markets. We serve customers from Gulfport, Miss., to the Florida state line and points north. Positive economic conditions in the area point to a strong, long-term nonresidential construction forecast, and we have a variety of equipment in our fleet to supply any of those projects.”
The Mobile branch specializes in the rental of aerial lifts, earthmoving equipment, telescopic forklifts, compaction equipment, generators, light towers, compressors, and more and represents the following manufacturers: Allmand, Atlas Copco, Bomag, Case, Club Car, Cushman, Doosan, Gehl, Generac Mobile, Genie, Hamm, Hilti, Husqvarna, JCB, JLG, John Deere, Kobelco, Kubota, LayMor, Ledwell, Lincoln Electric, Link-Belt Excavators, MEC, Miller, Multiquip, Polaris, Sany, Skyjack, SkyTrak, Sullair, Sullivan-Palatek, Tag, Towmaster, Unicarriers, Wacker Neuson, Yanmar, and others.
