H&E Equipment Services Completes Acquisition of One Source Equipment Rentals

H&E Equipment Services Inc. this week announced the completion of its acquisition of One Source Equipment Rentals Inc. effective October 1, 2022. With the closing of the transaction, H&E adds 10 equipment rental locations to its branch network, including initial locations in Illinois, Indiana, and Kentucky. In addition, the company will supplement its operating presence in the southern U.S. while adding approximately $138 million in fleet as measured by original equipment cost.

“The acquisition of One Source demonstrates our commitment to growth through expansion into highly prospective geographies and complements our successful warm start strategy,” said Brad Barber, CEO of H&E Equipment Services. “This year, we have announced eight branch additions through September, including recent openings in Hollywood, Fla.; New Castle, Del.; and Indio, Calif. Our expansion into the Midwest and further penetration into the southern U.S. positions H&E for increased participation in the non-residential construction and industrial end-markets. The company remains committed to further growth of its pure-play rental business and other strategic initiatives.”

Following the closing of the transaction, H&E’s equipment rental operations include 120 branch locations in 29 states.

Based in Baton Rouge, La., H&E Equipment Services is No. 7 on the RER 100.
