Continuing its ongoing expansion, H&E Equipment Services has opened a new branch in Wichita, Kan., its first rental location in the state of Kansas. Since the beginning of the second quarter of 2023, H&E has opened 11 new branches across the country. The company now serves 30 states.
“Our new Wichita branch is centrally located to reach both the large metropolitan market and also surrounding areas beyond,” said branch manager Cody Richardson. “We already have established branches in Kansas City, Oklahoma City, and Tulsa, so this new location bridges the geographic gap between them and brings additional fleet and resources to customers in the region. Our proximity to I-35 and many feeder highways allows us quick delivery times and responsiveness. I’m a Wichita native and started in the equipment business here 20 years ago. I know the area and am excited to introduce H&E to my state.”
The Wichita 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.
Founded in 1961, H&E Equipment Services is one of the largest equipment rental companies in the nation, No. 5 on the RER 100. Branches are located throughout the Pacific Northwest, West Coast, Intermountain, Southwest, Gulf Coast, Southeast, Midwest, and Mid-Atlantic regions.
