H&E Equipment Services Opens Branch in Kansas City, Mo.
Effective August 2, 2021, H&E Equipment Services Inc. announces its expansion into the Midwest and the state of Missouri with the opening of its new Kansas City, Mo., branch.
The 21,000-square-foot facility sits on nearly two acres with a fully fenced yard area, offices, parts warehouse, and a repair shop with six service bays and an overhead crane. It is capable of servicing a variety of construction and general industrial equipment for customers in Missouri and Kansas.
“Although this past year brought a series of changes and challenges across the national construction landscape, the local Kansas City business climate has been anything but lackluster,” said branch manager Jeremy Miller. “The $1.5 billion international airport is currently under construction, and developers have unveiled plans for projects that range in scope from large multi-family residential proposals to sprawling billion-dollar office and mixed-use developments. Kansas City’s consistent population growth is estimated to reach 2.27 million by 2023. This growth, coupled with a developing transportation system and stable economic base, continue to make Kansas City a prime target for industrial and commercial construction. With this new location, we’re excited to introduce prospective customers in the Midwest to the unparalleled, first-class service H&E customers have already become accustomed to at our other branches across the country. We’re continuing to move in rental fleet and are ready to supply whatever equipment solutions our customers may need.”
The branch specializes in the 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, Gehl, Generac Mobile, Genie, Hamm, Husqvarna, JCB, JLG, John Deere, Kubota, LayMor, Ledwell, Link-Belt Excavators, MEC, Miller, Multiquip, Okada, Polaris, Skyjack, SkyTrak, Sullair, Sullivan-Palatek, Takeuchi, Towmaster Trailers, Wacker Neuson, Wirtgen, Yanmar, and others.
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, and other value-added services.
Founded in 1961, H&E Equipment Services is one of the largest equipment rental companies in the nation, providing the higher standard in equipment rentals, sales, parts, and service. Branches are located throughout the Pacific Northwest, West Coast, Intermountain, Southwest, Gulf Coast, Southeast, Midwest, and Mid-Atlantic regions.
