March 22, 2006 • On March 9, H&E Equipment Services celebrated the grand opening of its new full-service facility in Sulphur, La. More than 500 customers, manufacturers, employees, and members of neighboring businesses were on hand to join in the festivities. Located on more than 4 acres, the new facility is nearly 21,000 square feet. After kicking off with a ribbon-cutting ceremony, attendees enjoyed a self-guided tour of the facility, exhibits, equipment demonstrations, and a crawfish boil.

 

“This new facility is a major improvement over our old one,” said Glenn Willis, H&E Sulphur branch manager. “From the ground up it was designed and built with the customer in mind. Customers can come to us having great confidence that we have the tools, training and know-how to maintain and repair their equipment. This building is a significant investment for us and represents the commitment that we have to this area and the customers we serve. We are now better able to provide comprehensive rental, sales, parts, and service to equipment customers in the future.”

 

In addition to general maintenance and repair, the shop is equipped to handle large repair jobs with two 10-ton overhead cranes and a brand new track press • one of only two in the entire Southwest Louisiana area. The Sulphur location is an authorized dealer for Komatsu, Grove, Manitex, Ingersoll-Rand, Sennebogen, Gomaco, Waldon, Pemberton, TrailKing, Okada, CP, and more, with capability to service and provide parts for nearly all brands of construction and industrial equipment in the market today.
