What Capacity Trucks does

Capacity Trucks (legal entity: Capacity of Texas, Inc.) is a Longview, Texas-based manufacturer of terminal trucks — also known as yard jockeys — used to move cargo in ports, intermodal rail terminals, and warehouse and distribution centers. Founded in 1974, the company produces the TJ Series: the TJ 5000 single-axle unit (up to 81,000 lbs GCWR), the TJ 6500 tandem-axle unit (up to 125,000 lbs GCWR), and the TJ 9000 heavy-duty single-axle unit (up to 200,000 lbs GCWR). Its technology platform centers on the patented DURA-RIDE® independent rear air-spring suspension, a fully welded heavy-duty C-channel frame with 57% greater Resisting Bending Moment than competitive huck-bolted frames, the ERGO CAB™ ergonomically redesigned cab, and a broad alternative-fuel powertrain portfolio spanning LPG, CNG, LNG, hybrid, hydrogen fuel cell, and battery electric systems. Capacity has delivered several industry firsts, including the first hybrid terminal truck (2011) and the first operational hydrogen fuel cell terminal truck (2018). Capacity operates as a private subsidiary, first within REV Group, Inc. (NYSE: REVG) from 2006 and, as of 2025-2026, within the Specialty Vehicles Segment of Terex Corporation (NYSE: TEX). Capacity generates revenue primarily from hardware sales of new terminal trucks and a secondary stream of aftermarket parts and service through its authorized dealer network across North America; pricing is quote-based for enterprise fleet customers, with sales executed through regional dealers and direct enterprise engagement. The go-to-market is supported by an industry trade show presence (ACT Expo, TMC Annual Meeting), a digital footprint, and integration of third-party safety systems such as Bendix Intellipark and D-Cams in the latest cab design.

Direct peers

• TICO (Terminal Investment Corporation): TICO is one of the closest direct competitors to Capacity Trucks in North American terminal/yard tractor manufacturing, offering spotter trucks for ports, intermodal and distribution operations with overlapping product positioning and dealer channels.
• Terberg Group: Royal Terberg is a Dutch-based direct competitor specializing in terminal tractors, port logistics vehicles and yard jockeys, with a strong global presence including North America that competes directly against Capacity Trucks' port and intermodal business.
• MAFI (Konecranes Terminal Tractors): MAFI, now part of Konecranes, is a long-standing direct competitor producing terminal tractors and yard trucks primarily for ports, intermodal terminals and heavy industrial logistics — directly comparable to Capacity's TJ Series product family.
• Ottawa (Kalmar terminal tractors): Ottawa/Kalmar manufactures terminal tractors and is a globally established direct peer to Capacity Trucks, competing head-to-head in port, intermodal and warehouse/distribution yard truck fleets with both diesel and emerging electric offerings.

Broad incumbents

• Volvo Trucks: Volvo is an emerging broad incumbent in the electric and autonomous terminal tractor space, leveraging its heavy-duty truck platform to enter the port and distribution yard truck market adjacent to Capacity's traditional diesel ICE stronghold.
• Terex Corporation: Terex is Capacity Trucks' parent company and a broad diversified equipment OEM in materials processing, aerial work platforms and specialty vehicles. As parent, Terex both owns and competes contextually with Capacity via its broader portfolio and engineering footprint.
• Cargotec (Kalmar): Cargotec/Kalmar is a broad incumbent in cargo handling with a terminal tractor product line overlapping Capacity's core market. It also competes via automated and electrified port solutions, giving it a wider strategic footprint than Capacity.
• Hyster-Yale Group: Hyster-Yale is a broad incumbent materials handling OEM offering terminal tractors, lift trucks and container handling equipment. While it serves many of the same port and warehouse customers as Capacity, its portfolio extends well beyond yard trucks.
• Daimler Truck (Freightliner / Mercedes-Benz): Daimler Truck is developing electric yard tractors leveraging its heavy-duty EV platform. While primarily a Class 6–8 on-road truck manufacturer, it represents a credible adjacent entrant threatening Capacity's terminal truck share.

Regional players

• Linde Material Handling: Linde Material Handling (part of KION Group) supplies industrial trucks and terminal tractors primarily in EMEA. It is comparable to Capacity in yard truck product category but operates principally outside North America, making it a regional peer rather than a direct North American head-to-head competitor.
