en.Wedoany.com Reported - Canadian rental company Canlift recently invested millions of dollars to add 180 boom lifts, scissor lifts, and mast climbing work platforms, along with multiple Jekko cranes, to expand its equipment fleet. This move addresses increased spending on infrastructure for hospitals and energy projects in Ontario, as well as growing demand from industrial and commercial construction development.

The new equipment covers a range of models, from 19-foot JLG 1930ES and ES1930M scissor lifts to 185-foot 1850SJ telescopic boom lifts. Another major supplier, MEC, provided multiple 20-foot MME20 mast lifts. This investment coincides with the company's 17th anniversary last month, following a previous investment of $10 million last year for 70 JLG lifts and telehandlers.

Additionally, Canlift purchased several Jekko cranes, including the 2.8-ton SPX328 and 3.2-ton SPX532 spider cranes, as well as the MPK06.2 and MPK10.2 MiniPicker lifting cranes equipped with upgraded vacuum glass handling attachments. Leavitt Cranes, Jekko's master distributor in Canada, has appointed CanLift as its regional dealer for Southern Ontario.

Rob Dattilo, Business Development Manager at Leavitt Cranes, stated that CanLift has an excellent service reputation in the Greater Toronto Area and surrounding regions, making it an ideal partner to deliver Jekko's industry-leading innovative products.

Johnny Dragicevic of Canlift added that specialized lifting often means adding another supplier to a project. By narrowing the gap between core and specialized equipment, the company's primary goal is to ensure contractors do not have to piece together solutions from different suppliers, allowing them to obtain all necessary equipment from a single point and avoid delays.

CanLift Equipment is one of the largest family-owned and managed aerial work platform rental companies in Ontario, Canada. It was founded in 2009 by co-Managing Directors Marko Dragicevic and Johnny Dragicevic, along with Marketing and Technical Directors Ryan Fitzgibbon and Jacob Fuller. The company is currently headquartered in Burlington, Ontario, with a branch office in Dorchester/West London, Ontario.
