Effective April 1, 2024, H&E Rentals announces the opening of its Decatur branch, the sixth general rental equipment location in the state of Alabama. Since the second quarter of 2023, H&E has opened 16 new branches across the country and acquired five others.
The facility is located in Trinity, Ala., in the Decatur area. 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 Decatur branch complements our existing facility in Huntsville, just 20 miles to the east,” said branch manager Josh Benner. “Our territory now provides even greater coverage to northwest Alabama, extending over to Mississippi and also reaching above the state line into Tennessee and down along I-65 and I-22. We can serve customers in Decatur, Athens, Hartselle, Vinemont, Hamilton, Russellville, and Florence, as well as Lewisburg and Pulaski, Tennessee, and points in between. By having several H&E facilities within reach, we can source equipment from an expanded fleet and provide the specific unit that is needed for any job, including pump and power products from our Birmingham (Specialty) location.”
The Decatur 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 Rentals is one of the largest equipment rental companies in the nation, providing a high standard in equipment rentals. Branches are located throughout the Pacific Northwest, West Coast, Intermountain, Southwest, Gulf Coast, Southeast, Midwest, and Mid-Atlantic regions.
