Markets change, trends come and go, but as long as there is industry, there will be a need for high capacity material handling equipment. And when it comes to moving big loads, cutting corners can cost you. That's why it's time to take a long, hard look at your fleet of equipment and ask yourself if your machines are really up to the challenges of your duty cycles.

Since its founding in 1983, H&K Equipment has specialized in the lift trucks that can do the jobs that other machines can't. We provide complete lines of heavy duty lift trucks in all capacities up to 120,000 pounds for any industry where loads have to be transported safely, quickly, and without a lot room for error.

We also provide best-in-class parts and service support for any make or model of material handling equipment. If you need to fix a machine or make a machine run better, there's no one better to call.

Don't put it off, call 1-800-272-9953 for material handling solutions that work for you.

Specialized Equipment for the Auto and Steel Industries

H&K Equipment's corporate legacy dates all the way back to 1935 when we were first founded as a dealer of Elwell-Parker material handling equipment in western Pennsylvania. That gives us nearly 80 years of experience in working with some of the biggest businesses in the steel and auto industries, many of which continue to use Elwell-Parker lift trucks for die and coil handling operations. This includes the L15 platform truck, which is now available newly engineered in a 25,000-pound capacity model. As the OEM of Elwell-Parker since 2010, H&K Equipment can service, engineer, and build new or existing Elwell-Parker lift trucks in any capacity.

H&K Equipment is the OEM for all Elwell-Parker products. For parts, service, upgrades, or to invest in a new Elwell-Parker lift truck, call 1-800-272-9953.

Pipe Handling for Mining, Construction, and Oil and Gas Industries

The recently redesigned Cary-Lift 154 pipe handling truck adds even more versatility to Pettibone's Cary-Lift Series, with standard-setting features that reflect how material handling, and pipe handling in particular, has evolved in recent years. Coming in at the low end of the heavy-duty spectrum with a maximum capacity of 15,000 pounds, the Cary-Lift 154 meets an important but underserved need for rough terrain lift trucks that are more powerful and rugged than smaller equipment, but are also more cost-effective than their higher capacity cousins.

All models from the Cary-Lift Series are available for sale or rent from H&K Equipment, including options with up to 30,000-pound capacities. Call 1-800-272-9953.

Rough Terrain Telehandlers for Construction and the Oil and Gas Industry

The G12-55A telehandler from JLG brings the maneuverability of a forklift and the reach of a crane to your jobsite. Designed to transport loads off-road and over uneven terrain, the G12-55A has the power to travel to areas other material handling equipment can't, and it can do it with better cost-efficiency than other telehandler models. The Tier 4i compliant 4.5 liter Cummins diesel engine gives the G12-55A 12,000 pounds of capacity, while the sturdy boom can extend a full 55 feet. Large pneumatic tires, enhanced steering, simplified controls, and improved sightlines make this model a must-have for oil and gas development, construction, and other outdoor applications.

The complete line of material handling equipment from JLG is available for sale or rent. Call 1-800-272-9953.
