H&E Equipment Services Opens Branch in Wilmington, N.C.
Effective August 30, 2023, H&E Equipment Services Inc. announces the opening of its Wilmington branch, its 10th rental location in the state of North Carolina. Since the beginning of 2023, H&E has opened nine new branches across the country, with three of those in North Carolina.
The facility is located across from the Port of Wilmington. It includes a fully fenced yard area, offices, and a repair shop and carries a variety of construction and general industrial equipment.
“The location of our newest North Carolina branch gives us greater reach along the Atlantic coastline, both north and into South Carolina, and covers the southeastern portion of the state below our existing Raleigh facility. Adding more fleet in this area allows us to supply customers in Wilmington and up to Elizabethtown, Lumberton, and New Bern, to name just a few cities well within our service area,” said district manager Justin Gnagy. “Our proximity to I-40 and highways 17, 74, and 421 is ideal and allows us to deliver equipment to job sites across the area quickly and efficiently.”
The Wilmington 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.
