Herc Holdings Inc. (NYSE: HRI) is a United States-based equipment rental company headquartered in Bonita Springs, Florida. The group serves a broad customer base across construction, infrastructure, industrial, energy and selected specialty end markets by providing flexible access to heavy equipment and related services. Its business model is built on fleet breadth, local branch density and value-added support services, which together help drive recurring rental revenue, fleet utilization and customer retention.
The company traces its roots back to 1965, when the business was founded within the Hertz ecosystem as an equipment rental operation. Herc Holdings became an independent public company in 2016, a milestone that shaped its current focus on scale, operational discipline and capital efficiency. As of December 31, 2024, the company operated 451 locations across North America, giving it meaningful geographic reach and the ability to serve both national accounts and local customers. Herc describes itself as having more than 59 years of experience in equipment rental.
Its core offering is a full-line rental portfolio covering aerial equipment, earthmoving, material handling, trucks and trailers, air compressors, compaction, lighting, trench shoring, and in certain niches studio and production equipment. Beyond rentals, Herc also sells used equipment and contractor supplies, including construction consumables, tools, small equipment and safety products. The company further provides repair and maintenance, equipment management, safety training, re-rental, on-site support and ancillary services such as transport, cleaning, refueling and labor.
From a competitive standpoint, Herc operates in a highly fragmented but consolidated-at-the-top industry, competing with large national peers and a long tail of regional operators. Its strategy emphasizes density in major metropolitan markets, cross-selling across adjacent product categories and value creation through acquisitions and greenfield branch openings. A major recent development was the acquisition of H&E Equipment Services, with the transaction announced as closed in the second quarter of 2025. Management has framed the deal as a way to accelerate growth, expand the branch network and unlock operating synergies.
For French, Belgian and Swiss investors, Herc Holdings is therefore a cyclical U.S. industrial stock listed on the NYSE, exposed to construction activity, fleet replacement cycles, rental-rate dynamics and management execution. The company’s recent actions suggest a more aggressive consolidation strategy, which may support longer-term scale benefits but also increases integration and leverage considerations.
