Louisiana headquartered H&E Equipment Services Inc. has opened a new store in Freeport, Texas.
That brings to 15 the number of full-service H&E operations in the Lone Star State and 71 stores across the U.S., the company announced in August.
H&E had earlier announced that was relocating its Oklahoma City operation to a newly constructed facility at 10700 NW 4th St., Yukon, Okla.
The Freeport, Texas, store is at 403 South Gulf Blvd. It will provide full-service coverage to customers in the coastal area from Port Lavaca to Galveston, a news release said.
The 13,000 square foot facility was recently remodeled and sits on two acres with a full yard area, offices, parts warehouse and a four-bay repair shop. The facility is capable of repairing a variety of general industrial and construction equipment.
The branch specializes in aerial lifts, telescopic forklifts, earthmoving and general construction equipment from various manufacturers, including Atlas Copco, Gehl, Genie, JLG, Multiquip, Okada, Skyjack, Skytrak, Takeuchi, Wacker Neuson, and Yanmar.
“Although we have covered the Freeport area for years from Houston, we have worked hard to establish a full-service branch in Freeport to better serve customers in this thriving industrial area,” a news release quoted Jeff Wood, H&E’s branch manager for Freeport and Pasadena.
The 20,000 square foot Yukon branch will serve the entire Oklahoma City area. The facility sits on 5.24 acres, with office space, a parts warehouse, large yard area and an eight-bay repair shop that includes a pair of five-ton overhead cranes. The facility is capable of repairing a variety of machines from compact construction equipment to large earthmoving units.
The branch specializes in aerial lifts, telescopic forklifts, some large and compact earthmoving equipment and general construction equipment. It also offers products from a variety of manufacturers.
Branch manager Tim Morse said in a news release that Oklahoma City “is one of the fastest growing economies in the country” and that the new facility “significantly broadens our capabilities in rentals, new and used equipment sales, parts and service, not to mention growth in personnel.”
