4-Horn Expands Florida Trench Equipment Network

4-Horn Trench & Shoring has opened a branch in Jacksonville, Florida, its third location in the state and 12th location nationwide.

The new facility covers 3,780 square feet and includes a fenced laydown yard, warehouse, and office space. Located at 5911 Commonwealth Avenue, the branch is intended to support customers in Jacksonville, St. Augustine, Gainesville, and Southeast Georgia.

The location will carry trench shields, manhole shields, hydraulic shoring, modular boxes, sheet pile, and road plates. Engineering services and delivery capabilities will also be available through the Jacksonville operation.

“Jacksonville has a lot happening right now, from infrastructure work to industrial projects, and we want to be right here to support it,” said Rhett Lasserre, CEO. “Having a team and equipment in Jacksonville puts us closer to the work and gives us the ability to respond quickly when our customers need us. We’re ready to get to work and build something strong here.”

Nick Wallace has been named branch manager, and Jim Hamilton will serve as regional product development manager.

“I know Jacksonville well, and I know there’s a place for what 4-Horn Trench & Shoring brings to the table,” said Jim Hamilton, regional product development manager. “We’re coming in with a good team, the right equipment, and a willingness to work. Now it’s on us to get out there and show customers what they can expect when they work with 4-Horn.”

The Jacksonville location joins 4-Horn's existing Florida branches in Lakeland and Orlando. The company's other locations are in Louisiana, Texas, Minnesota, and Nebraska.

The new branch expands 4-Horn's operations in Florida and its ability to provide trench and shoring equipment to customers in the region.
