H&E Equipment Services held a grand opening event at its Fort Myers, Fla., location on April 20. Guests were invited to learn more about H&E rentals sales, parts and service and had the opportunity to check out equipment displays and demos. Also featured at the event, were NASCAR and John Deere simulators. H&E staff were on hand to answer questions, and guests also had the opportunity to win prizes.

H&E relocated its Fort Myers branch to the newly constructed facility at 16701 Old US 41, Fort Myers, Fla., to better serve its customers. The new branch provides full-service coverage to customers throughout west Florida and is one of five branches throughout the state. The 19,125 sq. ft. facility sits on eight acres with a fully-fenced and paved yard area, offices, parts warehouse and an eight-bay repair shop equipped with two five-ton overhead cranes. The facility is capable of repairing a variety of general industrial and construction equipment, cranes, and earthmoving equipment.

The branch specializes in aerial lifts, telescopic forklifts, earthmoving and general construction equipment from the following manufacturers: Atlas Copco, Bisomac, Blue Diamond, Doosan, Gehl, Genie, Husqvarna, JLG, Magnum, Multiquip, Okada, Power Climber, Skyjack, Skytrak, Takeuchi, Towmaster, UniCarriers, Wacker Neuson, Yanmar and others.

“Equipment customers will quickly recognize the dramatic changes and improvements that our new facility delivers as we grow to better serve their needs,” said Phillip Zachman branch manager. “We have significantly enlarged and enhanced every area of our rentals, sales, parts and service operations. When we first entered this market over two decades ago, we envisioned a time when we would operate from a brand new facility, specifically designed and built to our standards. Well that day has arrived. We can now operate more efficiently and cost effectively, which translates into better service and care for our customers. We are extremely pleased.”

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.
