Effective October 21, 2024, H&E Rentals announces the opening of its Kansas City South branch, the company’s fourth location in the state of Missouri and its second in the show-me state in a year. H&E operates in 32 states and opened 16 branches across the country in 2024.
The facility is located in the suburb of Lee’s Summit, Mo. It includes a fully fenced yard area, offices, and a repair shop and carries a variety of construction and general industrial equipment.
“Our fourth location in the Show-Me State now makes it even more convenient for customers in the areas south of K.C. and on both sides of the Kansas and Missouri border,” said branch manager Kriss Mills. “We can more quickly reach customers in Lee’s Summit, Independence, Overland Park, Olathe, Warrensburg, Ottawa, Harrisonville, Nevada, and all points in between. Our position between our existing Kansas City, Columbia and Springfield facilities gives us the advantage of working together to source the equipment customers need from an expanded local fleet. We’re directly off Highway 50 near highway 291 and I-470, so we can efficiently move equipment to job sites to better serve the market.”
The Kansas City South branch specializes in the rental of aerial lifts, earthmoving equipment, forklifts, telehandlers, compaction equipment, generators, light towers, compressors, and more. The fleet represents the following manufacturers: Allmand, Atlas Copco, Blue Diamond Attachments, Bomag, Case, Club Car, Connect Work Tools, Cushman, Gehl, Generac Mobile, Genie, Hamm, Haulotte, Husqvarna, JCB, JLG, John Deere, Kobelco, Kubota, LayMor, Ledwell, Lincoln Electric, Link-Belt Excavators, Manitou, MEC, Miller, Multiquip, Okada, Polaris, Sany, Skyjack, SkyTrak, Sullair, Sullivan-Palatek, Tag, Towmaster, UniCarriers, Vacuworx, Virnig, Wacker Neuson, Yanmar, and others.
