Shawmut Equipment of Canada, a Manitowoc Crane dealer partner, has opened a new facility in Elmsdale, Nova Scotia, Canada, near Halifax. The new location will serve as the company’s Canadian headquarters and comes as demand for its products and services has been expanding in the region.
The new facility features vast yard space, multiple repair bays equipped with the latest diagnostic equipment, two 10-ton overhead cranes, a large parts warehouse and expansive office space. It will offer crane and utility equipment sales and rentals, as well as parts and service support. The central location and proximity to the Halifax airport will allow for quick technician dispatch, as well as expedited shipping times for parts orders.
“We’re pleased to announce this new Shawmut Equipment location and we know that it will serve customers well, due to the sheer amount of demand we’ve been experiencing in the region,” said Joe Vergoni, president of Shawmut Equipment of Canada. “Owners of Manitowoc cranes can take special note that we have outfitted this facility with the latest and greatest technology, and we have an experienced team of experts available to support all of their sales and service needs.”
The new location is in the East Hants Business Park in Elmsdale. The company will also continue to serve customers out of its Saint John, New Brunswick, location. Shamut covers a wide array of Manitowoc crane products, including Manitowoc crawler cranes, Grove mobile cranes, Potain self-erecting cranes and National Crane boom trucks.
