Effective April 21, H&E Equipment Services opened its Marietta branch, its fifth facility in Georgia and the third in the Atlanta area.
The 30,000-square-foot facility sits on 3.5 acres with a fully fenced yard area, offices, parts warehouse, and a repair shop with six service bays. It is capable of servicing a variety of construction and general industrial equipment for customers northwest of Atlanta.
The branch specializes in rental of aerial lifts, telescopic forklifts, earthmoving machinery, compaction equipment, generators, compressors, and more and represents the following manufacturers: Allmand, Atlas Copco, Blue Diamond, Bomag, Case, Club Car, Doosan, Gehl, Generac Mobile, Genie, Hamm, Hy-Brid Lifts, JCB, JLG, John Deere, Kubota, LayMor, Link-Belt Excavators, MEC, Miller, Multiquip, Okada, Polaris, Skyjack, SkyTrak, Sullair, Sullivan-Palatek, Takeuchi, Wacker Neuson, Yanmar, and others.
“Some of the fastest growing cities in Georgia are on the northwest side of Atlanta, so Marietta was the obvious choice for another H&E location,” said branch manager Jeremiah Smith. “With various infrastructure, commercial and multifamily residential construction projects increasing, we needed to grow to meet the demands of our customers. Our existing branches located in nearby Decatur and Suwannee have solidified relationships with their customer base. With our three metro Atlanta branches, we now have excellent coverage of the area and can locate equipment and provide quick service to all H&E customers in the region.”
In addition to a large rental equipment fleet, the facility provides expanded new and used equipment sales, parts availability within 24 hours for most items, in-shop and mobile service repairs, training, and other value-added services.
Founded in 1961, H&E Equipment Services is one of the largest rental equipment companies in the nation, No. 7 on the RER 100. Branches are located throughout the Pacific Northwest, West Coast, Intermountain, Southwest, Gulf Coast, Southeast, and Mid-Atlantic regions.
