H&E Equipment Services, Inc. (H&E) expanded their coverage in Tennessee by opening a new facility in Nashville. This new store allows H&E to provide full-service to our customers in Central Tennessee, northern Alabama and southern Kentucky.

“Nashville has been in need of a full-service operation for some time. Our typical competitor limits their scope to just rentals. As a full-service operation, we are equipped and committed to be a one-stop shop for our customers, providing services such as equipment rentals, new and used equipment sales, in-shop and mobile service and repair, a comprehensive parts inventory, training and many other services,” explains Mark Miller, Nashville Branch Manager.

The Nashville facility is 19,000 square feet with 90 percent of it dedicated to service operations. The branch will provide a full line of aerial work platforms, earthmoving and light construction equipment for rental and sales.

Miller is optimistic about the Middle Tennessee economy, “We are starting to see signs of a recovery. Activity levels for our services are beginning to see an uptick. I believe that the worst is over and people are ready to resume a sense of normalcy that will allow us to grow and prosper for years to come.”

H&E Equipment Services is one of the largest equipment services companies in the United States with 62 full-service facilities throughout the West Coast, Intermountain, Southwest, Gulf Coast, Mid-Atlantic and Southeast regions of the United States. The Company is focused on heavy construction and industrial equipment, and rents, sells and provides parts and service support for four core categories of specialized equipment: (1) hi-lift or aerial platform equipment; (2) cranes; (3) earthmoving equipment; and (4) industrial lift trucks. H&E Equipment Services is headquartered in Baton Rouge, LA. H&E is the largest Grove and Manitowoc Crane dealer in the U.S. and one of the largest Komatsu earthmoving dealerships. In addition, they represent Genie, JLG, Terex, Sky Jack, Skytrak, Gehl, Manitex and many other prominent equipment manufacturers.

“For years we hoped to expand into Middle Tennessee. The current economy has caused most of our competition to enter a mode of retraction or retreat. However, we see this as an opportunity to grow our business. We have already begun to move a large inventory and big variety of equipment into Nashville, including aerial lifts, telescopic forklifts, earthmoving equipment, crane trucks, light towers, compressors and more,” says Miller.

The new H&E Equipment Services Nashville facility is located just north of downtown Nashville at 1301 Whites Creek Pike, 615/248-0266. The store is conveniently located for customers and central to most current construction projects.

“With it’s strong projected future growth and healthy, diverse economy, Nashville was an obvious choice for us to locate a branch” explains Mike Rattan, H&E Vice President – Midwest Division. “We see a clear need in this area for a true full-service equipment provider that would provide customers with a single source for their rental, sales, service and parts. Our Branch Manager, Mark Miller, brings over 20 years of local, equipment industry experience to the role and has assembled a sales, service and operations team with a tremendous wealth of knowledge and experience. The Nashville staff will be an invaluable resource for our customers in the area.”
