H&E Rentals has started the year with the opening of two branches in Pensacola and St. Louis West respectively.

The Pensacola branch, its 15th facility in the state of Florida, is located at 3381 Bill Metzger Lane and specialises in the rental of aerial lifts, earthmoving equipment, forklifts, telehandlers, compaction equipment, generators, light towers, compressors, and more. 

Branch manager Aaron Lee said, “The location of our new Pensacola branch allows us to better serve the far west Florida Panhandle and into southern Alabama. Renting equipment is now even more convenient for customers from Gulf Shores to Milton and along I-65 to Evergreen.

“Our position between our existing Mobile and Fort Walton Beach facilities gives us the advantage of working together to source the equipment customers need from an expanded local fleet. We’re just off Highway 90 near I-10 and Highway 29, so we can quickly get equipment to job sites anywhere within our territory.”

The St. Louis West branch is the company’s fifth location in the state of Missouri and is located at 10022 Meeks Boulevard, St. Louis. 

“Our fifth Missouri location now makes it even more convenient for customers in the St. Louis metro region and in areas stretching west of the city and both north and south along the Mississippi River. We can reach customers in Farmington, Viburnum, Imperial, Union, Hermann, Troy, Elsberry, and all points in between,” added branch Manager Jeremiah Dudley.

“Working together with our established St. Louis branch, we can source whatever equipment customers need from an expanded local fleet. Our new facility is directly between Highway 67 and I-170, just a mile north of Route 340, and our proximity to interstates 70, 64, 44, and 55 lets us efficiently move equipment to job sites to better serve the market.”

The company, which expanded significantly last year with the opening of several new branches, said the new depots are the first of “many planned expansion branches this year.” H&E currently has more than 160 branches in 31 states.
