H&E Equipment Services Opens Branch in El Dorado, Ark.
Effective April 4, H&E Equipment Services opened its new El Dorado, Ark., rental branch, its second in the state. The 5,000-square-foot facility sits on 4.5 acres with a fully fenced yard area, offices, 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 southern Arkansas.
“H&E has served central Arkansas through its Little Rock branch for many years,” said branch manager Jeremy Smith, who has worked in the rental equipment industry in El Dorado for many years. “Adding this El Dorado location bridges the territory from there to our Shreveport branch and allows us to more effectively serve new and existing customers in the area. With growing commercial and industrial projects in the manufacturing, infrastructure and health care sectors, we know we will have the fleet to meet the demand for quality equipment for these and many other construction projects. H&E has one of the youngest fleets in the industry with the support of a first-class team to back it up.”
The El Dorado 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.
