H&E opens new South Carolina branch

H&E Equipment Services has announced the opening of a new branch in the US, adding to its footprint in South Carolina.

Located in the Myrtle Beach area, the branch offers a range of equipment and specialises in the rental of aerial lifts, earthmoving equipment, telescopic forklifts, compaction equipment and generators. 

The site, which includes a fully fenced yard area, offices and a repair shop, will offer equipment from a number of OEMs, including Bomag, Genie, Hamm, Sany and Kubota. 

Joe Pannunzio, branch manager, H&E, said, “H&E has extended its coverage along the South Carolina coast, from Georgetown up to the North Carolina state line, and then inland to I-95 from Dillon to Manning. We can easily reach all points in between with close proximity to state highways 501, 701, and 368 and to major roadways that branch off in all directions. 

“Our location strategically bridges the gap between our existing Charleston, South Carolina, and Wilmington, North Carolina, branches, so we are able to help both new and existing customers secure the right equipment for their projects.”

The opening also marks the continuation of its goal to open between 12 and 15 new sites in 2024. To date, the company has opened five new branches and completed two acquisitions in 2024. Since the second quarter of 2023 the company has opened 19 new branches across the US and acquired nine companies.
