Brantly Bagby“Our second location in the Hawkeye State significantly expands H&E’s coverage across the Upper Midwest.  From our new Council Bluffs facility, we reach all of Iowa west of I-35 and the majority of neighboring Nebraska, including Sioux City, Fort Dodge, and Des Moines, Iowa, to Omaha, Lincoln, Hastings, and North Platte, Nebraska,” says Branch Manager Brantly Bagby. “With our existing Cedar Rapids location to the east and our Kansas City facilities to the south, we can source the right equipment for any project. We’re just across the river from Omaha and close to I-80, Highway 92, and I-29, positioning us to efficiently deliver equipment to job sites throughout our territory.”

The Council Bluffs branch specializes in the rental of aerial lifts, earthmoving equipment, forklifts, telehandlers, compaction equipment, generators, light towers, compressors, and more.  The fleet represents the following manufacturers:  Allmand, Atlas Copco, Blue Diamond Attachments, BOMAG, Case, Club Car, Connect Work Tools, Cushman, Gehl, Generac Mobile, Genie, Hamm, Haulotte, Husqvarna, JCB, JLG, John Deere, Kobelco, Kubota, LayMor, Ledwell, Lincoln Electric, Link-Belt Excavators, Manitou, MEC, Miller, Multiquip, Okada, Polaris, Sany, Skyjack, SkyTrak, Sullair, Sullivan-Palatek, Tag, Towmaster, UniCarriers, Vacuworx, Virnig, Wacker Neuson, Yanmar, and others.
