H&E Rentals Fills in I-40 Gap with New Branch in Amarillo, Texas
H&E Rentals continues its rapid branch expansion with a new facility in Amarillo, Texas, its 30th in the state of Texas. H&E has opened 25 new branches across the country and acquired nine others since the second quarter of last year, and it has operations in 32 states.
“The positioning of a new branch in Amarillo gives H&E complete coverage of the Texas Panhandle that stretches across the New Mexico state line,” said branch manager Nick Ohman. “We now have greater reach above our existing Lubbock branch, which allows H&E to better serve the West Texas market, and we’ve reduced the distance between our Albuquerque and Oklahoma City locations. Our facility is directly on the I-27 frontage road and just a short drive from I-40. That strategic location allows us to efficiently move equipment from an expanded local fleet to job sites stretching from the Oklahoma state lines and down across State Highway 86. We’re in a great place to help customers across the entire panhandle.”
The Amarillo 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.
Based in Baton Rouge, La., H&E Rentals is No. 6 on the RER 100.
