Founded in the late 1970s in Quebec, Manulift set out with a singular purpose: to master telescopic handlers.
Its business model centers on full
cycle service—from purchasing analysis and financing to AI
enhanced diagnostics.
Its fleet of 400+ rentals supports heavy construction, industrial lifting, agriculture, mining, and municipal infrastructure.
Typical projects include high
stakes infrastructure like LRT systems, remote agricultural sites, and industrial plants.
A major growth milestone: in 2024, private equity partners Champlain, Desjardins and Fondaction backed its pan
Canadian expansion.
Another leap came in May 2025, when Manulift became Canada’s official Snorkel distributor, integrating Edmonton and Toronto operations.
Commitment to delivering excellence to customers.
Building strong, long
lasting relationships.
Continuous improvement through innovation.
Integrity in all actions and decisions.
