Effective March 24, H&E Rentals announces the opening of its Lowell, Ark., branch, the company’s fourth new location this year and its fourth facility in the state of Arkansas.
“Our facility in the Ozarks completes H&E’s coverage of the state and makes renting equipment especially convenient for customers in the northwest corner,” said branch manager Tyler Headley. “The Lowell branch serves from Bentonville over to Mountain Home, Fayetteville and Fort Smith, and down into the Ouachita National Forest. Having our existing Little Rock and Jonesboro branches within reach of our territory – as well as H&E facilities in Springfield, Missouri, and Tulsa, Oklahoma – gives us the advantage of working together to source the equipment from an expanded local fleet. We’re located just a mile from both I-49 and Route 265, allowing us to efficiently move equipment to job sites across our region.”
The Lowell 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.
Headquartered in Baton Rouge, La., and founded in 1961, H&E Rentals is No. 6 on the RER 100. The company has a pending agreement to be acquired by Herc Rentals.
