H&E Equipment Services today opened a new branch in Summerville, S.C., near Charleston, joining two other full-service H&E operations in South Carolina and 70 stores nationwide. The branch will primarily cover the eastern South Carolina area.
The recently remodeled facility is 16,000 square feet and sits on three-and-a-half acres with a large yard area, offices, a parts warehouse and an eight-bay repair shop. The branch specializes in aerial lifts, telehandlers, earthmoving and general construction equipment from manufacturers such as Atlas Copco, Bomag, Doosan, Gehl, Genie, JLG, Multiquip, Okada, Skyjack, Skytrak, Takeuchi, Wacker Neuson, Yanmar and others.
“We are extremely pleased to increase our presence in South Carolina,” said Mark Forsyth, H&E Charleston branch manager. “Our research of this area clearly indicates that customers are looking for the full-service approach to the equipment business that H&E provides. We specialize in rentals, sales, parts and service. Our turnkey model helps to simplify equipment for customers. As the Charleston area economy continues to grow in the manufacturing, construction and industrial markets, we are committed to expand right along with it and provide the resources that equipment customers depend on.”
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.
