Organization Consolidation And Presentation Of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Organization and Nature of Operations	(1) Organization and Nature of Operations Basis of Presentation Our condensed consolidated financial statements include the financial position and results of operations of H&E Equipment Services, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries H&E Finance Corp., GNE Investments, Inc., Great Northern Equipment, Inc., H&E California Holding, Inc., H&E Equipment Services (California), LLC and H&E Equipment Services (Mid-Atlantic), Inc., collectively referred to herein as “we” or “us” or “our” or the “Company.” The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such regulations. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of all normal and recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2016 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2016, and therefore, the results and trends in these interim condensed consolidated financial statements may not be the same for the entire year. These interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the annual audited consolidated financial statements and related notes in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015, from which the consolidated balance sheet amounts as of December 31, 2015 were derived. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in these condensed consolidated financial statements. Business combinations accounted for as purchases are included in the condensed consolidated financial statements from their respective dates of acquisition. The nature of our business is such that short-term obligations are typically met by cash flows generated from long-term assets. Consequently, and consistent with industry practice, the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets are presented on an unclassified basis. Nature of Operations As one of the largest integrated equipment services companies in the United States focused on heavy construction and industrial equipment, we rent, sell and provide parts and service support for four core categories of specialized equipment: (1) hi-lift or aerial work platform equipment; (2) cranes; (3) earthmoving equipment; and (4) industrial lift trucks. By providing equipment rental, sales, on-site parts, repair and maintenance functions under one roof, we are a one-stop provider for our customers’ varied equipment needs. This full service approach provides us with multiple points of customer contact, enables us to maintain a high quality rental fleet, as well as an effective distribution channel for fleet disposal and provides cross‑selling opportunities among our new and used equipment sales, rental, parts sales and services operations.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Significant Accounting Policies	(2) Significant Accounting Policies We describe our significant accounting policies in note 2 of the notes to consolidated financial statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015. During the six month period ended June 30, 2016, there were no significant changes to those accounting policies. Use of Estimates We prepare our consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which requires management to use its judgment to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and related disclosures at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reported period. These assumptions and estimates could have a material effect on our condensed consolidated financial statements. Actual results may differ materially from those estimates. We review our estimates on an ongoing basis based on information currently available, and changes in facts and circumstances may cause us to revise these estimates. Recent Accounting Pronouncements In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers Revenue Recognition In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) .

Fair Value of Financial Instrum

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]
Fair Value of Financial Instruments	(3) Fair Value of Financial Instruments Fair value is defined as the amount that would be received for selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The FASB fair value measurement guidance established a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value. The three broad levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows: Level 1 – Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities Level 2 – Quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets or inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly Level 3 – Unobservable inputs for which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring a company to develop its own assumptions The carrying value of financial instruments reported in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets for cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses payable and other liabilities approximate fair value due to the immediate or short-term nature or maturity of these financial instruments. The fair value of our letter of credit is based on fees currently charged for similar agreements. The carrying amounts and fair values of our other financial instruments subject to fair value disclosures as of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015 are presented in the table below (amounts in thousands) and have been calculated based upon market quotes and present value calculations based on market rates. June 30, 2016 Carrying Amount Fair Value Manufacturer flooring plans payable with interest computed at 5.00% (Level 3) $ 45,967 $ 40,281 Senior unsecured notes with interest computed at 7.0% (Level 1) 627,508 648,900 Capital leases payable with interest computed at 5.929% to 9.55% (Level 3) 1,807 1,225 Letter of credit (Level 3) — 155 December 31, 2015 Carrying Amount Fair Value Manufacturer flooring plans payable with interest computed at 5.00% (Level 3) $ 62,433 $ 54,710 Senior unsecured notes with interest computed at 7.0% (Level 1) 627,306 617,400 Capital leases payable with interest computed at 5.929% to 9.55% (Level 3) 1,907 1,329 Letter of credit (Level 3) — 145 During the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, there were no transfers of financial assets or liabilities in or out of Level 1, Level 2 or Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

Disclosure Of Compensation Related Costs Sharebased Payments [Abstract]
Stock-Based Compensation	(5) Stock-Based Compensation We account for our stock-based compensation plan using the fair value recognition provisions of Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 718, Stock Compensation Over the last ten years, we have been granting awards under our 2006 Stock-Based Incentive Compensation Plan, as amended (the “Prior Stock Plan”). The Prior Stock Plan expired pursuant to its terms in June 2016, and the Company will no longer be able to grant equity awards under the Prior Stock Plan. At our annual meeting of stockholders in May 2106, our stockholders approved our 2016 Stock-Based Incentive Compensation Plan. Shares available for future stock-based payment awards under our 2016 Stock-Based Incentive Compensation Plan were 2,100,000 shares as of June 30, 2016. To the extent that awards granted under the Prior Stock Plan are forfeited or otherwise terminate for any reason whatsoever without an actual distribution or issuance of shares, the plan limit will be increased by such number of shares. Non-vested Stock The following table summarizes our non-vested stock activity, all of which was granted pursuant to the Prior Stock Plan, for the six months ended June 30, 2016: Number of Shares Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Non-vested stock at December 31, 2015 322,355 $ 19.90 Granted 39,977 $ 11.61 Vested (39,977 ) $ 11.61 Forfeited (6,785 ) $ 18.63 Non-vested stock at June 30, 2016 315,570 $ 19.93 As of June 30, 2016, we had unrecognized compensation expense of approximately $3.5 million related to non-vested stock that we expect to be recognized over a weighted-average period of approximately 2.2 years. The following table summarizes compensation expense related to non-vested stock, which is included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 (amounts in thousands): For the Three Months Ended June 30, For the Six Months Ended June 30, 2016 2015 2016 2015 Compensation expense $ 626 $ 484 $ 1,667 $ 1,505 Stock Options At June 30 2016, there is no unrecognized compensation expense as all stock option awards have fully vested. The following table represents stock option activity for the six months ended June 30, 2016: Number of Shares Weighted Average Exercise Price Weighted Average Contractual Life In Years Outstanding options at December 31, 2015 51,000 $ 17.80 Granted — — Exercised — — Canceled, forfeited or expired (45,000 ) $ 17.60 Outstanding options at June 30, 2016 6,000 $ 19.27 1.1 Options exercisable at June 30, 2016 6,000 $ 19.27 1.1 The closing price of our common stock at June 30, 2016 was $19.03.

Earnings Per Share [Abstract]
Income per Share	(6) Income per Share Income per common share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 are based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. The effects of potentially dilutive securities that are anti-dilutive are not included in the computation of dilutive income per share. We include all common shares granted under our incentive compensation plan which remain unvested (“restricted common shares”) and contain non-forfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents, whether paid or unpaid (“participating securities”), in the number of shares outstanding in our basic and diluted EPS calculations using the two-class method. All of our restricted common shares are currently participating securities. Under the two-class method, earnings per common share are computed by dividing the sum of distributed earnings allocated to common shareholders and undistributed earnings allocated to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. In applying the two-class method, distributed and undistributed earnings are allocated to both common shares and restricted common shares based on the total weighted average shares outstanding during the period. The number of restricted common shares outstanding was approximately 0.7% and 0.4% of total outstanding shares for each of the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively, and, consequently, was immaterial to the basic and diluted EPS calculations. Therefore, use of the two-class method had no impact on our basic and diluted EPS calculations for the periods presented. The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted net income per common share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 (amounts in thousands, except per share amounts): Three Months Ended Six Months Ended June 30, June 30, 2016 2015 2016 2015 Basic net income per share: Net income $ 7,503 $ 11,480 $ 13,077 $ 17,566 Weighted average number of common shares outstanding 35,354 35,238 35,347 35,232 Net income per share of common stock – basic $ 0.21 $ 0.33 $ 0.37 $ 0.50 Diluted net income per share: Net income $ 7,503 $ 11,480 $ 13,077 $ 17,566 Weighted average number of common shares outstanding 35,354 35,238 35,347 35,232 Effect of dilutive securities: Effect of dilutive stock options — 20 — 20 Effect of dilutive non-vested restricted stock 126 56 92 48 Weighted average number of common shares outstanding – diluted 35,480 35,314 35,439 35,300 Net income per share of common stock – diluted $ 0.21 $ 0.33 $ 0.37 $ 0.50 Common shares excluded from the denominator as anti-dilutive: Stock options 1 — 7 — Non-vested restricted stock — — 4 —

Senior Secured Credit Facility	(7) Senior Secured Credit Facility We and our subsidiaries are parties to a $602.5 million senior secured credit facility (the “Credit Facility”) with Wells Fargo Capital Finance, LLC (“Wells Fargo”), as agent (as successor in such capacity to General Electric Capital Corporation (“GE Capital”)), and the lenders named therein (the “Lenders”). On May 21, 2014, we amended, extended and restated the Credit Facility by entering into the Fourth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Amended and Restated Credit Agreement”) by and among the Company, Great Northern Equipment, Inc., H&E Equipment Services (California), LLC, the other credit parties named therein, the lenders named therein, GE Capital, as administrative agent, Bank of America, N.A. as co-syndication agent and documentation agent, Wells Fargo, as co-syndication agent and Deutsche Bank Securities Inc. as joint lead arranger and joint bookrunner. In March 2016, Wells Fargo succeeded and was substituted for GE Capital as the administrative agent under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement. The Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, among other things, (i) extends the maturity date of the Credit Facility from February 29, 2017 to May 21, 2019, (ii) increases the uncommitted incremental revolving capacity from $130 million to $150 million, (iii) permits a like-kind exchange program under Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, (iv) provides that the unused commitment fee margin will be either 0.50%, 0.375% or 0.25%, depending on the ratio of the average of the daily closing balances of the aggregate revolving loans, swing line loans and letters of credit outstanding during each month to the aggregate commitments for the revolving loans, swing line loans and letters of credit, (v) lowers the interest rate (a) in the case of index rate revolving loans, to the index rate plus an applicable margin of 0.75% to 1.25% depending on the leverage ratio and (b) in the case of LIBOR revolving loans, to LIBOR plus an applicable margin of 1.75% to 2.25%, depending on the leverage ratio, (vi) lowers the margin applicable to the letter of credit fee to between 1.75% and 2.25%, depending on the leverage ratio, and (vii) permits, under certain conditions, for the payment of dividends and/or stock repurchases or redemptions on the capital stock of the Company of up to $75 million per calendar year and further additionally permits the payment of the special cash dividend of $7.00 per share previously declared by the Company on August 20, 2012 to the holders of outstanding restricted stock of the Company following the declared payment date with such permission not tied to the vesting of such restricted stock (which includes the Company’s payment in June 2014 of all amounts that remained payable to the holders of the restricted stock of the Company with respect to such special dividend that was otherwise payable following the applicable vesting dates in May and July 2014 and 2015). On February 5, 2015, we entered into an amendment of the Credit Facility which, among other things, increased the total amount of revolving loan commitments under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement from $402.5 million to $602.5 million. As of June 30, 2016, we were in compliance with our financial covenants under the Credit Facility. At June 30, 2016, the Company could borrow up to an additional $420.3 million and remain in compliance with the debt covenants under the Company’s Credit Facility. At June 30, 2016, the interest rate on the Credit Facility was based on a 3.25% U.S. Prime Rate plus 100 basis points and LIBOR plus 200 basis points. The weighted average interest rate at June 30, 2016 was approximately 2.8%. At July 21, 2016, we had $419.6 million of available borrowings under our Credit Facility, net of $7.7 million of outstanding letters of credit.

Segment Information	(9) Segment Information We have identified five reportable segments: equipment rentals, new equipment sales, used equipment sales, parts sales and services revenues. These segments are based upon how management of the Company allocates resources and assesses performance. Non-segmented revenues and non-segmented costs relate to equipment support activities including transportation, hauling, parts freight and damage-waiver charges and are not allocated to the other reportable segments. There were no sales between segments for any of the periods presented. Selling, general and administrative expenses as well as all other income and expense items below gross profit are not generally allocated to reportable segments. We do not compile discrete financial information by segments other than the information presented below.

Organization Consolidation And Presentation Of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Basis of Presentation	Basis of Presentation Our condensed consolidated financial statements include the financial position and results of operations of H&E Equipment Services, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries H&E Finance Corp., GNE Investments, Inc., Great Northern Equipment, Inc., H&E California Holding, Inc., H&E Equipment Services (California), LLC and H&E Equipment Services (Mid-Atlantic), Inc., collectively referred to herein as “we” or “us” or “our” or the “Company.” The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such regulations. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of all normal and recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2016 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2016, and therefore, the results and trends in these interim condensed consolidated financial statements may not be the same for the entire year. These interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the annual audited consolidated financial statements and related notes in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015, from which the consolidated balance sheet amounts as of December 31, 2015 were derived. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in these condensed consolidated financial statements. Business combinations accounted for as purchases are included in the condensed consolidated financial statements from their respective dates of acquisition. The nature of our business is such that short-term obligations are typically met by cash flows generated from long-term assets. Consequently, and consistent with industry practice, the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets are presented on an unclassified basis.
Use of Estimates	Use of Estimates We prepare our consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which requires management to use its judgment to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and related disclosures at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reported period. These assumptions and estimates could have a material effect on our condensed consolidated financial statements. Actual results may differ materially from those estimates. We review our estimates on an ongoing basis based on information currently available, and changes in facts and circumstances may cause us to revise these estimates.
