H&E Equipment Services has relocated its Austin branch to a newly constructed facility in Hutto, Texas. The 9,500-square-foot facility sits on three-and-a-half acres with a fully fenced and paved yard area, offices, parts warehouse, and an eight-bay repair shop. The facility is capable of handling repairs for a variety of general industrial, construction and earthmoving equipment.
“Over the past several years, the Austin commercial construction market has experienced extraordinary growth,” said Shawn Young, H&E Austin branch manager. “After approximately 10 years in the same location, the Austin branch is now poised to take advantage of that growing market. We are very pleased to relocate into a state-of-the-art facility with greater store front visibility and easy access to major thoroughfares. The newly designed offices, shop and service areas will provide an overall enhanced customer experience and keep employee safety a priority. The increased yard area and efficient layout will allow Austin to grow the fleet needed to expand our market share.”
In addition to equipment rentals, the facility provides new and used equipment sales, in-shop and mobile service, a comprehensive parts inventory, training and other value-added services.
Based in Baton Rouge, La., with 90 locations throughout the West Coast, Southwest, Intermountain, Gulf Coast, Southeast and Mid-Atlantic regions, H&E Equipment Services is No. 10 on the RER 100.
