What elt systems group does

ELT Systems Group, operating primarily through its Eastern Lift Truck Co. brand, is a full-service material handling equipment dealer founded in 1971 and headquartered in Maple Shade, New Jersey. The company sells, rents, and services forklifts, aerial lifts, terminal tractors, railcar movers, and specialty equipment as an authorized dealer for tier-1 manufacturers including Hyster, Yale, and Combilift, alongside complementary lines from JCB, Skyjack, Genie, JLG, Polaris, Cushman, GEM, and Rail King. It also provides pallet racking, mezzanines, loading dock and overhead door solutions, industrial batteries, and emerging alternative-power offerings (lithium-ion and hydrogen fuel cells).

The company has expanded beyond traditional equipment distribution into warehouse automation and robotics, acting as an integration partner for OTTO autonomous mobile robots, KEMARO autonomous floor sweepers, Gather AI inventory drones, Power Pack conveyor systems, Quasi autonomous carts, and the Yale Vision telemetry and impact-camera fleet management platform. Underlying technical capability rests on a $18+ million parts inventory supporting 175+ brands and a workforce of more than 600 service technicians, organized across 20+ physical locations in New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware, Maryland, Virginia, and New York.

Revenue is generated through a diversified mix: one-time equipment sales (new and used), usage-based rentals from a fleet of thousands of units, recurring service/parts/tire contracts, warehouse products installation, and automation integration projects. Customers are reached via a field sales-led go-to-market motion with local branches serving industrial manufacturers, distribution and logistics operators, government and military facilities, retail operations, and commercial/institutional campuses. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed, with engagement initiated through online quote, parts, rental, and service request forms routed to local branches.
