The H&K Equipment Group
In 2006, Yard Truck Specialists became part of the H&K Equipment Group. Together, the companies that comprise the H&K Equipment Group offer a diverse assortment of material handling equipment. From our yard trucks to forklifts that range between 3,500 to 110,000 pounds in lifting capacity, to railcar moving equipment and utility vehicles, to industrial floor sweepers and scrubbers, we provide the machines that power business. With access to one of the largest heavy lifting forklift rental fleets in the United States, and with corporate partners who share our passion and enthusiasm for our customers, the synergies between the companies in the H&K Equipment Group and Yard Truck Specialists can redefine your business’s bottom line.

In February, 2013, Yard Truck Specialists doubled its sales area to include the western half of Pennsylvania and become the only authorized Kalmar Ottawa dealer for the state. We also represent regions in New Jersey, Delaware, and Maryland while continuing to support thousands of customers located around the world.
In 2015, Yard Truck Specialists opened its first remote branch in York, Pa. to serve customers throughout the southern and western portions of its Mid-Atlantic territory. Then, in 2017, Yard Truck Specialists added 21,000 square feet of shop space to its Bensalem location, creating one of the largest and most state-of-the-art service facilities devoted to terminal tractors in the country.
