H&E Equipment Services Opens Branch in Kings Mountain, N.C.
Effective August 14, 2023, H&E Equipment Services Inc. announces the opening of its Kings Mountain branch, its ninth rental location in the state of North Carolina and its fourth in the greater Charlotte vicinity. Since the beginning of the second quarter of 2023, H&E has opened eight new branches across the country, with two of those in the Tar Heel state.
“The Charlotte metropolitan area is one of the fastest growing regions in the country, and we are bringing additional fleet and resources to serve customers there,” said branch manager Rob Kendrick. “Our existing North Charlotte, Charlotte and Statesville branches blanket the eastern and northern portions of the area, so we’ve strategically placed our new branch in Kings Mountain to reach farther west and southwest, including into upstate South Carolina. Our proximity to I-85 and Highway 74 is ideal and allows us to deliver equipment to job sites across the metro area quickly and efficiently.”
The Kings Mountain 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.
