Effective August 19, 2024, H&E Rentals has opened a branch in Lufkin, Texas, the company’s 31st location in the Lone Star State and its ninth Texas branch added in the past two years. H&E now operates in 32 states, and it has opened 26 new branches across the country and acquired nine others since the second quarter of last year.
Lufkin is located in East Texas, 60 miles west of the Texas-Louisiana border. It is the largest city and county seat of Angelina County, Texas, with a population of more than 34,000, according to the 2020 census.
“H&E’s expansion in East Texas makes it even easier for us to reach customers north of the Houston metro area and beyond,” said branch manager Randy Crawford. “Our new facility covers Lufkin and stretches south toward Woodville and Lake Livingston, north to Rusk and Mt. Enterprise, west beyond Crockett and Palestine, and east to the Louisiana state line ― as well as all points in between. With our established Longview, Conroe, and Bryan branches within reach, we can work together to source equipment from an expanded local fleet and quickly get it on the job site. We’re in a great position to take care of customers wherever their projects are.”
The Lufkin branch specializes in the rental of aerial lifts, earthmoving equipment, telescopic forklifts, compaction equipment, generators, light towers, compressors, and more and represents 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.
