H&E Equipment Expands With Pensacola Branch

H&E Equipment Services (H&E) has opened a new branch in Pensacola, Florida, effective Jan. 6, 2025.

This marks the company’s 15th location in Florida and the first of several planned branch openings across the U.S. this year. In 2024, H&E successfully launched 16 new locations, continuing its nationwide expansion.

The Pensacola branch, located at 3381 Bill Metzger Lane, is equipped with a fenced yard, offices and a repair shop. The facility will provide a range of construction and industrial equipment for rent, including aerial lifts, earthmoving machines, forklifts, telehandlers, compactors, generators and more.

The fleet includes products from leading manufacturers like JLG, John Deere, Skyjack, Genie, Kubota and Wacker Neuson among others.

“The location of our new Pensacola branch allows us to better serve the far west Florida Panhandle and into southern Alabama. 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,” Branch Manager Aaron Lee said.

“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.”

This expansion strengthens H&E’s network along the Gulf Coast, enhancing collaboration between its Mobile and Fort Walton Beach branches and increasing equipment availability for customers.

Founded in 1961, H&E is one of the largest equipment rental companies in the U.S., with branches in 31 states. Its services span various regions, including the Pacific Northwest, West Coast, Southwest, Midwest and Southeast.
