Skyjack has locked in a contract with MacFarlands Industrial for its new Moncton, New Brunswick, Canada, location. MacFarlands has been renting throughout Atlantic Canada for more than 50 years and is excited to stock its fleet with Canadian-made aerial equipment.

The rental company has signed an exclusive partnership with Skyjack to have the Canadian manufacturer be the sole supplier of all DC electric scissor lifts.

The first order of these consisted of SJIII 3219, SJIII 3226, SJIII 4632 and SJIII 4740 electric scissor lifts. Each of these models use Skycoded, Skyjack’s proven color-coded and numbered wiring system. The system makes Skyjack machines some of the easiest to maintain, which translates into increased uptime.

“We’ve serviced Atlantic Provinces from our Nova Scotia location since 1963 and have been thinking about expanding for quite some time,” said Scott Bishop, operations manager at MacFarlands Industrial. “With our second location, we’ll be able to keep up with demand coming from our customers operating out of New Brunswick.”

“The reliability and easily accessible service points on our machines were a big selling point for MacFarlands,” said Luc Bourbonniere, sales manager, Skyjack. “On any jobsite, but especially when working on remote areas, being able to limit downtime and use off-the-shelf parts when needed is critical to maintaining construction schedules.

MacFarlands Industrial made its mark in the Atlantic Provinces by striving to help customers achieve their goals. Although they’ve grown significantly since its inception, MacFarlands maintains compassion and drive for its customers.

“It is a perfect fit for Skyjack and our easy-to-do-business-with attitude,” Bourbonniere said. “We’re excited about this new opportunity and am looking forward to seeing more Skyjacks on site throughout Canada.”
