H&E Equipment Services Opens New Branch in Ogden, Utah
Effective October 11, H&E Equipment Services announces the opening of a new rental branch just north of Salt Lake City in Ogden, Utah. It is the company’s third Utah rental facility.
The branch is located at 1723 West 1350 South, Ogden, Utah., 84401-0328, phone 385-405-7200. The 8,350-square-foot facility sits on three acres with a fully fenced yard area, offices, parts warehouse, and a separate repair shop with six service bays. It is capable of handling a variety of construction and general industrial equipment for customers in northern Utah, southeast Idaho, and Western Wyoming.
“H&E has been established in Salt Lake City for over 50 years, and expansion to Ogden was a natural step, creating a cluster approach for equipment availability,” said branch manager Chris Baron, who also leads the Salt Lake City branch. “Our new location will allow us to respond to our customers to the north more efficiently, with interstate access west of I-15. This area has been one of the strongest in the nation post-pandemic, and the projected construction market forecast of nearly $5 billion over the next five years means that our business is expanding in the right place at the right time. Surface infrastructure and education projects are strong, and we are moving in new rental machinery to prepare to meet the needs of customers working in the area.”
The Ogden 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, Bomag, Case, Club Car, Cushman, Doosan, Gehl, Generac Mobile, Genie, Hilti, Husqvarna, JCB, JLG, John Deere, Kubota, LayMor, Ledwell, Lincoln Electric, Link-Belt Excavators, MEC, Miller, Multiquip, Polaris, Skyjack, SkyTrak, Sullair, Sullivan-Palatek, TAG, Taylor, Towmaster Trailers, Wacker Neuson, Yanmar, and others.
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.
