    Effective today, January 6, 2025, H&E Rentals opens its Pensacola, Fla., branch, the company’s 15th facility in the state of Florida and its first of several new locations slated to open across the country this year. H&E operates in 31 states and opened 16 branches in 2024.

    The facility is located at 3381 Bill Metzger Lane, Pensacola, FL 32514-7070, phone 448-400-3100.  It includes a fully fenced yard area, offices, and a repair shop and carries a variety of construction and general industrial equipment.

    “The location of our new Pensacola branch allows us to better serve the far west Florida Panhandle and into southern Alabama,” said branch manager Aaron Lee. “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 Pensacola branch specializes in the rental of aerial lifts, earthmoving equipment, forklifts, telehandlers, compaction equipment, generators, light towers, compressors, and more. The fleet represents the following manufacturers:  Allmand, Atlas Copco, Blue Diamond Attachments, Bomag, Case, Club Car, Connect Work Tools, Cushman, Gehl, Generac Mobile, Genie, Hamm, Haulotte, Husqvarna, JCB, JLG, John Deere, Kobelco, Kubota, LayMor, Ledwell, Lincoln Electric, Link-Belt Excavators, Manitou, MEC, Miller, Multiquip, Okada, Polaris, Sany, Skyjack, SkyTrak, Sullair, Sullivan-Palatek, Tag, Towmaster, UniCarriers, Vacuworx, Virnig, Wacker Neuson, Yanmar, and others.

    Founded in 1961, H&E Rentals is one of the largest equipment rental companies in the United States, No. 6 on the RER 100.
