Effective June 19, H&E Rentals announces the opening of its Bradenton, Fla., branch, the 14th general rental location in the Sunshine State and the sixth new Florida branch in the past two years. H&E has opened 20 new branches across the country and acquired nine others in a little more than a year.
The facility is located at 4004 15th Street E, Bradenton, FL 34208-4626. 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 new Bradenton branch gives H&E expanded coverage of south-central Florida along the Gulf,” said branch manager Sara Paris. “Renting equipment is now even more convenient for customers along the coast – from just above I-275, down through Sarasota and Venice, to Englewood – and then inland to Myakka City and Arcadia. Our facility is near highways 301, 41, and 70 and sits between our established Tampa and Fort Myers general rental locations, so we are able to source the equipment you need from an expanded local fleet and move it directly to your job site.”
The Bradenton 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, still also known as H&E Equipment Services, is No. 6 on the RER 100. For more information, visit HErentals.com.
