IT TAKES TRUE GRIT TO WAKE UP EVERY MORNING, DEDICATED TO A Higher Standard of Work

FOR OVER 60 YEARS, THE

When McDonald & Sons was selected for the complete overhaul of the Congressional Country Club Blue Course in Bethesda, Md., Owner John McDonald II – also GCBAA president – knew exactly where to begin. McDonald picked up the phone and called Joe McNees at H&E Equipment Services’ Baltimore branch. The Blue Course had hosted three U.S. Opens and a PGA Championship, so top-notch work was a must.

“When you are selected to be the golf course builder on a project the size and scope of Congressional CC’s Blue Course renovation, you know you will need a good team to execute a project of that size. The team not only includes the talents of McDonald & Sons staff but also subcontractors and vendors,” said McDonald. “A key component to the work is construction and support equipment, and a reputable, responsive equipment company is key. H&E has been one of our main rental companies for quite a while. With our history and their proximity to the project site, we partnered with them to provide the needed equipment and support.”

You might call H&E a Cinderella story: Started in 1961 in the small town of Baton Rouge, La., H&E has become one of the largest and fastestgrowing rental equipment companies in the U.S. With over $1 billion in total revenue and 122 full-service branches providing equipment rentals, sales, parts, and service in 29 states from coast to coast, it is ranked #7 of the Top 100 Equipment Rental Companies in the U.S. by Rental Equipment Register. And it is also among America's 100 Most Trustworthy Companies according to Forbes magazine. Personalized service is its hallmark. safety and pump and power equipment to its offerings, and it has one of the youngest fleets in the industry from some of the best names in the business.

McNees and H&E have been partners at some of the finest – and certainly diverse – courses there are: Pine Valley Golf Club in New Jersey, ranked number one in Golf Magazine's 100 Top Courses in the U.S. and the World four times in the past decade; Riviera Country Club in L.A., still considered one of the finest natural layouts in all of golf; Vail Country Club in Colorado,

H&E hits the sweet spot in important ways: an experienced and responsive rental staff, competitive rates, financing and insurance, new and used equipment for sale, and the right solutions to get the job done – whether for a day, a week, a month, or a year. .

H&E has a large lineup of earthmoving and utility equipment available for rent, along with aerial work platforms, material handling, and general equipment. It has also added trench nestled at the base of the Gore Mountains; and Card Sound in Key Largo, FL, laid out across a lush tropical landscape.

“Our rep, Joe McNees, was in touch with our management team on a regular basis and did a great job getting them what they needed, when they needed it. That last part is very important. The timing of projects of this caliber is critical, and you rely on a company that can answer the need when called upon,” McDonald explained. “Joe and H&E surely did that for us. Confidence in the products, knowing the company would make things right, open communication and responsive support are all things that made us comfortable in working with Joe and H&E.”

H&E is pleased to be a member of the GCBAA, and its commitment to customers and association members is simple: be the easiest rental company to do business with. Visit www. he-equipment.com, or call Joe McNees at 443790-9924 or any of your local reps when you need equipment solutions.
