4-Horn Opens Jacksonville Trench Safety Branch

4-Horn Trench & Shoring has opened a new branch in Jacksonville, Florida, expanding the company's operations in the state and bringing its total number of locations nationwide to 12.

The 3,780-square-foot facility at 5911 Commonwealth Avenue includes a fenced laydown yard, warehouse, and office space. The branch will serve contractors, municipalities, utilities, and industrial customers in Jacksonville, St. Augustine, Gainesville, and Southeast Georgia.

“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.”

The Jacksonville branch will stock trench shields, manhole shields, hydraulic shoring, modular boxes, sheet pile, and road plates. The location will also provide engineering services and delivery capabilities.

The branch is 4-Horn's third Florida operation, joining locations in Lakeland and Orlando. The company also operates branches in Louisiana, Texas, Minnesota, and Nebraska.

Nick Wallace will serve as branch manager, while Jim Hamilton will oversee regional product development.

“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 branch expands 4-Horn Trench & Shoring's presence in Florida and its service area in the Southeast.
