April 19, 2011 – H&E Equipment Services, Baton Rouge, La., celebrated the grand opening of their new full-service facility in Chesapeake, Va. On hand to take part in the event were over 225 customers, equipment manufacturers, employees and government officials including the mayor of Chesapeake and directors of economic development. The event kicked off with a formal ribbon-cutting ceremony. The attendees then enjoyed a self-guided tour of the facility, exhibits, equipment demonstrations, and a VIP barbeque buffet.

Guests also experienced hands-on demonstrations of the new Doosan DX140 excavator and a new Gradall XL3100 truck-mounted excavator.

 

“Earthmoving and crane customers, along with all general and sub-contractors, now have a brand new, state-of-the-art facility they can depend on to take care of all their equipment needs,” said Tom Grant, H&E Chesapeake branch manager. “We are now better able to provide outstanding rental, sales, parts, service, and training with this facility that has been specifically designed with the equipment customer in mind. The new facility gives us the space, tools, and resources we need to keep a competitive edge and demonstrate our long-term commitment to this area.”

 

Located on nearly six acres in Cavalier Industrial Park, the new facility features 5,000 square feet  of office space, a 2,500-square foot warehouse, and a 10,000-square foot shop facility. The shop can handle the largest repair job with two 10-ton overhead cranes.
