CEDAR RAPIDS, IA — H&E Rentals (H&E) announces the opening of its Cedar Rapids branch, the company’s first general rental location in the state of Iowa. H&E now operates in 32 states, and it has opened 23 new branches across the country and acquired nine others since the second quarter of 2023. The facility includes a fully fenced yard area, offices, and a repair shop and carries a variety of construction and general industrial equipment.

“H&E’s expansion into Iowa adds another state to our Midwest operations and extends our reach farther north from our Columbia, Peoria, and St. Louis branches," Branch Manager Scott Pritchett said. "Our territory covers the entire eastern half of Iowa, from the Illinois and Wisconsin borders west to I-35. The newly renovated facility is just off I-380, and our proximity to Highway 100 and other major roadways means we’re on our way to your job site quicker. We may be new to the Hawkeye State, but we’re certainly not new to the equipment rental business. H&E maintains one of the youngest fleets in the industry, and we look forward to establishing new relationships and showing customers how we can partner with them in their business.”

The Cedar Rapids branch specializes in the rental of aerial lifts, earthmoving equipment, telescopic forklifts, compaction equipment, generators, light towers, compressors, and more and represents the following manufacturers: Allmand, Atlas Copco, Bomag, Case, Club Car, Cushman, Doosan, Gehl, Generac Mobile, Genie, Hamm, Hilti, Husqvarna, JCB, JLG, John Deere, Kobelco, Kubota, LayMor, Ledwell, Lincoln Electric, Link-Belt Excavators, MEC, Miller, Multiquip, Polaris, Sany, Skyjack, SkyTrak, Sullair, Sullivan-Palatek, Tag, Towmaster, Unicarriers, Wacker Neuson, Yanmar, and others.
