Haverstick Hydraulics
Wholesale hydraulic hoses and parts, precision repairs, machining, welding, and fabrication. Proudly serving the region from our Lancaster facility.
Good Technik Group formerly TEC Acquisition, was originally formed in 2024 as an entity to purchase Trans Equipment Co from Brad Plank. It was renamed Good Technik Group in 2025 when Haverstick Brothers Hydraulics was purchased from Jim and Doug Haverstick. The renaming to Good Technik Group was to depict how all of our Equipment, Service and Parts businesses fit together as a group, utilizing a common umbrella. This also allowed us to simplify the message of who we are and be clearer to our customers of what we have to offer. These trade names are Good Tech Center, Trans Equipment Co, and Haverstick Brothers Hydraulics, with locations in Columbia, Ephrata, Beavertown, and Lancaster.
While the name Good Technik Group is fairly young, it carries the antecedents of 3 companies going back almost 100 years.

Haverstick Brothers Hydraulics was founded in 1946 by twin brothers Chester and Lester Haverstick, initially as an automotive repair business. Their original building was a surplus World War II Quonset Hut, which still houses part of that business today in Lancaster, PA.
As their reputation and knowledge of engineer work spread throughout the region, local farmers began bringing machinery to be serviced and repaired. After some time, the brothers ceased working on cars, instead entirely focusing on machining, welding, and hydraulic repairs.
Business continued to be strong as they focused on maintenance, fabrication, and repair services.
In September 2025, Haverstick Brothers Hydraulics was acquired and is now housed under Good Technik Group. Today, we continue to specialize in hydraulic repairs and parts and have both a service and parts department.
Trans Equipment Co was started in 1974 by Jay Plank, with six employees. Their initial purpose was to repair and paint semi-trailers, and included suspension, roof, flooring, and door repairs, as well as refurbishing and custom fabrication. In 1977, Trans Equipment became a trailer dealer for Barrett Livestock Trailers, and in six years, had grown enough to build a new ten bay shop on seven acres, which continues to serve as its present location.
During the early 1980s, the length and width laws changed in the United States, and Trans Equipment was able to refurbish several hundred trailers through our shop in a few short years. They also became a trailer dealer of Ravens Dump Trailers and Bodies.
In 2010, Trans Equipment became a Heavy-Duty Parts Distributor, in addition to the trailer repair, body shop, and sales business. In 2015 and the years following, Trans Equipment expanded their sales department to include Stargate, Extreme, Felling, Hahnz, and Bronton Trailers.
In October 2024, Trans Equipment was acquired and is now housed under Good Technik Group. Today, we continue to specialize in trailer repairs and sales and offer an expanded parts department across two locations – Ephrata and Beavertown – to best serve our customers in the Pennsylvania region.
Good Tech Center derived from Good Transports Services Service and Parts business in Columbia.
Good Transport Services was originally established in 1943 as Good Live Poultry, which hauled live chickens from the growers to the processors. Over the years the fleet grew from small single axle trucks to 5 axle flatbed tractor trailers. In 1981 the business expanded into bulk feed transport for the chickens which were later hauled to the processor. It was also this year that Goods hired its first mechanic to service and maintain our fleet.
Shortly after that, they built a 3-bay truck shop, and the company hired additional support personnel. The original shop was expanded in 1998, adding three more stalls, or six to eight bays, to the south of the first structure. The shop services Good Transports fleet, as well as other local fleets and owner operators.
Good Tech Center works on all makes and models, and also has a well-stocked, authorized Kenworth Parts Department. We specialize in customer service before, during and after the repair. Whatever commercial truck repair or replacement parts you need, we take pride in getting you and your vehicle back on the road fast and keeping your vehicle on the road longer.
