H&K becomes largest Taylor forklift distributor in Mid-Atlantic

H&K Equipment has expanded its territory to become the largest distributor of Taylor Machine Works forklifts in the Mid-Atlantic region.

H&K now provides sales, service and support for Taylor products in western Pennsylvania, eastern Ohio, the Northern Panhandle of West Virginia, and Garrett and Allegany counties in Maryland. Its affiliate Taylor Northeast already covered eastern Pennsylvania, Maryland, New York, New Jersey, Delaware and parts of Virginia.

H&K Equipment’s territory now crosses eight states and covers over 100,000 square miles.

“With our affiliate Taylor Northeast, we have facilities in Pittsburgh, throughout the eastern half of Pennsylvania, down into Baltimore, and up into Syracuse, New York,” says H&K President George Koch. “That gives us the ability to bring a range of expanded rental and service options to these customers. All of our fleet and service capabilities were developed with that goal in mind.”

The new H&K territory also includes locations once represented in the Pittsburgh metro area by Burns Industrial Equipment, which switched from offering Taylor products this year.

H&K Equipment’s headquarters is 15 miles from downtown Pittsburgh and at the center of its new territory, the company says.

H&K was founded in 1983 and has more than 300 employees. It consists of six affiliate companies that operate from 11 locations in Pennsylvania, Maryland and New York. In addition to high-capacity lift trucks, H&K companies also provide or manufacture small-capacity forklifts, railcar movers, personnel carriers, overhead cranes, industrial electromagnets, warehouse and racking solutions, and industrial cleaning equipment.

H&K Equipment says it is an authority in large, difficult-to-source material handling equipment.

“We have a reputation for being the big truck guys,” Koch said. “These are some of the biggest trucks out there.”

Taylor Machine Works is a privately held U.S. company that specializes in manufacturing high-capacity lift trucks, some of which handle loads in excess of 100,000 pounds. The company’s product line includes traditional forklifts, as well as rough terrain forklifts, container handlers and reach stackers. They are designed for work at ports, lumber yards and industrial sites.

PHOTOS: The Equipment and Crowds of Bauma 2019 (Part 2)

More than any other trade show on the planet, Bauma, hosted every three years in Munich, Germany, is a walking show. After spending nearly a whole week at this year’s show, I checked my Apple Watch activity stats and found that I averaged nearly 10 miles of walking each day at the show thanks to countless trips up and down the “expressway” that cuts through the Munich convention center’s 18-building layout and in and out of the gargantuan outdoor exhibition area. According to show managers, a record 620,000+ people from more than 200 countries visited this year’s show. Apart from the crowds this was the largest Bauma yet in sheer size with more than 3,700 exhibitors spread across 2.1 million square feet of indoor exhibit space and an additional 4.5 million square feet of outdoor space.

Deere dealer West Side Tractor plans $14M HQ in Illinois

A rendering of the future West Side Tractor headquarters in Lisle, Illinois. West Side Tractor is planning a $14 million headquarters in the same town where the family-owned company was founded in 1962. The John Deere construction and forestry equipment dealer has outgrown its 3.5-acre site in Naperville, Illinois, and is renovating two former auto dealerships on 11 acres in Lisle, where the Benck family started its business. The new site will allow the company to double its building space to 75,000 square feet over the current headquarters, once renovations are completed. Located at 3300 Ogden Avenue near Interstates 88 and 355, about 5 miles from the current site, it will not only consist of the corporate headquarters but will offer equipment sales and rentals, parts and service. It will also help bring new life and investment to a site that had closed due to the 2008 recession, the company says. “We’re proud of our roots and are thrilled to be able to reinvigorate this part
