H&E Rentals announces the opening of its St. Louis West branch, the company’s fifth location in the state of Missouri and its second of many planned expansion branches this year, the company said. H&E currently has more than 160 branches in 31 states.
The facility includes a fully fenced yard area, offices, and a repair shop and carries a variety of construction and general industrial equipment.
“Our fifth Missouri location now makes it even more convenient for customers in the St. Louis metro region and in areas stretching west of the city and both north and south along the Mississippi River,” said branch manager Jeremiah Dudley. “We can reach customers in Farmington, Viburnum, Imperial, Union, Hermann, Troy, Elsberry, and all points in between. Working together with our established St. Louis branch, we can source whatever equipment customers need from an expanded local fleet. Our new facility is directly between Highway 67 and I-170, just a mile north of Route 340, and our proximity to interstates 70, 64, 44, and 55 lets us efficiently move equipment to job sites to better serve the market.”
The St. Louis West 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.
