H&E Rentals’ Bakersfield, Calif., Location Moves to Larger Facility
Effective February 10, 2025, H&E Rentals announces the relocation of its Bakersfield, Calif., branch to 34697 Imperial Ave. This new location includes a larger, fully fenced yard area, updated office area, and an expanded repair shop, and the branch continues to carry a variety of construction and general industrial equipment.
“We’re excited to be in our new facility so that we can take care of our customers in the Bakersfield area and the San Joaquin Valley in the best way possible,” said branch manager Bill White. “Our updated, more efficient location has a spacious yard to marshal our fleet, a larger shop to complete maintenance more efficiently, and a comfortable office to welcome customers, allowing us to better serve and grow with them. We’re just 2.4 miles north of our previous address, and our property is right off Highway 65 with access to job sites across the area via major freeways nearby. There’s also one big thing that hasn’t changed with the move: the unwavering commitment from the same dedicated staff to provide exceptional service.”
The Bakersfield branch specializes in the rental of aerial lifts, earthmoving equipment, telescopic forklifts, compaction equipment, generators, light towers, compressors, and more and 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 is one of the largest equipment rental companies in the nation, No. 6 on the RER 100. H&E recently reached an agreement to be acquired by United Rentals. The acquisition is currently pending and is expected to be finalized later this quarter.
