Even while its acquisition by Herc Rentals speeds towards the finish line, H&E Rentals opens a new branch today in East Phoenix. It’s the company’s sixth new location so far this year and its fourth branch surrounding metro Phoenix.
“This new location gives H&E full coverage of the Phoenix metro area and provides a more convenient location from which to reach customers on the east side of the city,” said branch manager Matt Phelps. “Our territory serves east of Mesa, Gilbert, Casa Grande, Florence, Payson and Show Low to the New Mexico line. Working with our existing North Phoenix, West Phoenix and Phoenix facilities, we can source the right equipment for any project across central Arizona, and our Tucson branch can take care of customers just beyond our reach to the south.”
The East Phoenix 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.
Based in Baton Rouge, La., H&E is No. 6 on the RER 100. Branches are located throughout the Pacific Northwest, West Coast, Intermountain, Southwest, Gulf Coast, Southeast, Midwest and Mid-Atlantic regions.
