Inventory and Buying
What types of equipment do you carry?
Our inventory regularly includes more than 800 new, refurbished, and used units. Categories include electric counterbalance forklifts, reach and deep reach trucks, EE rated electric forklifts, stand-up dockstockers, very narrow aisle trucks, internal combustion forklifts, stackers, pallet jacks, aerial and access equipment, sweepers and scrubbers, and parts and power systems.
Which brands do you sell?
Our inventory features Raymond, Toyota, Hyster, Crown, Yale, Caterpillar, Clark, Linde, Jungheinrich, Doosan, Komatsu, Drexel, Combilift, Bendi, Genie, Skyjack, Tennant, and many more, along with our own Premier Certified units.
What is the difference between Premier Certified and Budget forklifts?
Premier Certified forklifts are CSA B335:25 compliant, audit-ready units that come with verified records and are aligned with Ontario MOL and MLITSD requirements.
Budget forklifts are older, chassis-only, non-CSA units with the battery and charger optional. They are a cost-effective fit for farms, auto shops, rural businesses, seasonal users, and low-hour operations.
How are your refurbished forklifts inspected?
Every refurbished forklift receives a 100-point inspection covering the powertrain, hydraulics, mast, electrical, and safety systems. Refurbishment follows our 7-layer verification model, and specifications, hours, serial numbers, and condition are all checked before a unit is listed.
What capacities and battery voltages are available?
We carry equipment ranging from 1,000 lb to over 30,000 lb in capacity, from walkie pallet jacks up to large diesel pneumatic forklifts. Electric units are available in 24V, 36V, 48V, and 80V configurations, and we can help you match the right battery and charger to your application.
Can I inspect equipment before I buy?
Yes. We encourage every buyer to inspect equipment in person at our Brampton facility or through a virtual inspection before purchasing.
Equipment is sold as is, deposits are non-refundable, and orders cannot be cancelled once signed. An undisclosed major mechanical failure must be reported within 48 hours of delivery. Please review our refund policy for full details.
Pricing and Delivery
How do US buyers receive pricing?
Listed prices are shown in Canadian dollars. Due to 2026 tariff volatility, all USD pricing is provided by live quote so that tariffs and delivered costs are calculated accurately for your location.
How long does delivery take?
CSA B335:25 compliant electric forklifts are available with certified delivery in 4 to 6 weeks. For US buyers, lead times range from 2 to 20 weeks depending on equipment class, freight availability, and customs processing. We coordinate shipping across Canada and into the United States.
Do you offer financing or leasing?
Yes. We offer leasing and financing options with fixed monthly payments, tax-efficient structures, fleet upgrade programs, and rent-to-own options. Contact our team to discuss the terms that fit your business.
What payment methods do you accept?
We accept Visa, Mastercard, EFT, cheque, and wire transfer.
Rentals
What rental terms are available?
We offer daily, weekly, monthly, and seasonal rentals for temporary projects, fleet expansion, and peak season coverage. Long-term programs include rent-to-own options. Rentals are available throughout the GTA.
What equipment can I rent?
Our rental fleet includes CSA certified electric and propane forklifts from 3,000 to 30,000 lb, reach and deep reach trucks, stand-up dockstockers, order pickers, walkies, stackers, pallet jacks, and aerial and scissor lifts. Attachments such as fork extensions, safety cages, and cold zone kits are available on request.
Every rental receives a pre-delivery inspection, CSA and MOL inspection, a documentation package, and battery and charger preparation for electric units.
Service and Repair
Do you offer mobile forklift service?
Yes. Our technicians dispatch on site for routine repairs, emergency repairs, and planned maintenance across Brampton, Mississauga, Vaughan, Milton, and the GTA. Full rebuilds, paint, and finish work are completed at our Brampton facility.

What is included in a CSA and MOL inspection?

Do you service forklift batteries and chargers?
Yes. We test lead-acid batteries for 24V, 36V, 48V, and 80V systems and provide charger rebuilds and diagnostics, cable, connector, and cell inspections, equalization and load testing, battery room safety checks, and CSA inspection preparation for electric fleets.
Operator Training
What operator training do you offer?
We offer beginner and re-certification programs for forklift, order picker, reach truck, and walkie rider operators, along with fall arrest and WHMIS courses. Programs are aligned with the Ontario Ministry of Labour, the Occupational Health and Safety Act, and CSA B335 standards.
Training blends classroom theory with hands-on evaluation at approved client locations across the GTA, and a CSA compliant certificate is issued upon successful completion.
How much does operator training cost?
Training rates are based on the program, instructor time, and certification requirements. We provide quotes upfront with no hidden fees, and scheduling is flexible to fit your operation.
