Canac Goes All in with Stärke's 4,000 lb. Electric Pallet Truck



Stärke is proud to announce that Canac – an independent retailer specializing in hardware and construction materials for over 135 years in Quebec – recently purchased acquired a small fleet of Stärke PT40XMA electric pallet trucks from our Quebec City dealership – Chariots Élévateurs National. For many, this account represents the growth and development of the Stärke brand in Quebec, especially given the size of the order and Canac's standing within the business community of Quebec.

Why Canac Chose Stärke?

One of the most important criteria for Canac was finding a piece of equipment capable of handling large loads and maneuvering within a retail environment without causing excessive damage to store merchandise. Taking this into consideration, Chariots Élévateurs National recommended Stärke’s 4,000 lb. electric pallet truck, the PT40MXA. Unlike some of the competition, the PT40MXA is able to deftly navigate tight corners and uneven surfaces without sacrificing the vehicle’s stability or the integrity of its load. This is accomplished through an innovative design feature known as the Continuous Stability System, which maintains constant contact with the ground through a fixed drive wheel supported by two spring loaded castors.

When combined with its solid construction, compact frame and ease of operation, Stärke's PT40 electric pallet truck represents the perfect combination of maneuverability and lifting power for retail operations such as Canac. And, since Stärke's Continuous Stability System comes standard with all Stärke LiftMaxx electric pallet trucks, owners of our LiftMaxx electric pallet trucks are guaranteed one of the most stable pallet trucks on the market. "Because it makes sense to expect peace of mind at a fair price".


Canac 



As a company with 24 regional branches and over 2,200 employees in the province of Quebec, Canac continues to expand its business in the region. Canac currently offers over 20,000 products including tools and hardware, painting supplies, flooring, construction materials, and automotive products. For those interested in Canac and its complete product line, they can be found online at www.canac.ca or at one of their 24 locations throughout Quebec.

Starke Establishes Hydrive as a Master Distributor in Alberta, Canada

Stärke Material Handling Group has officially added Hydrive Forklift & Equipment Inc. to serve as a Master Distributor for Stärke forklifts and industrial lift equipment in Alberta, Canada. As an established dealership and service provider for over 30 years in the Edmonton region, Hydrive serves as a fitting addition for a brand built upon consistently providing quality equipment, customer service and technical support.


“Establishing Hydrive as a Master Distributor for Alberta represents an incredible opportunity for both Hydrive and the Stärke brand as we continue to expand our market share within North America,” comments Justin Engel, the Marketing Manager at Stärke Material Handling Group. “As a dedicated distribution hub for Stärke forklifts and industrial lift equipment, we view the addition of Hydrive as a means of providing quality assurance and improving customer service while growing the Stärke brand throughout Alberta and Western Canada.”

The addition of Hydrive corresponds to a strategic campaign intended to further incorporate and empower members of Stärke’s dealership network in an effort to increase Stärke’s presence throughout Western North America. Through this arrangement, Stärke hopes to leverage Hydrive’s reputation and location within central Alberta to capitalize on future growth opportunities in the region.

“The team at Hydrive Forklift & Equipment is elated to have the opportunity to become the Master Distributor for Stärke [in] Alberta.  We are looking forward to building a strong successful relationship. Hydrive is dedicated to delivering exceptional service and we have some of the best technicians in the industry. Hydrive has been in business for 35 plus years and we are looking forward introducing our clients to the quality of the Stärke product.” Ultimately, Hydrive will begin receiving shipments direct from factory and establish a small network of sub-distributors while continuing to serve their customers in Edmonton and the surrounding region.

Beyond the expansion of its dealership and support networks, Stärke Material Handling Group has also expanded on its range of Class II and Class III industrial lift equipment with the additions of its new XVI line of electric and internal combustion counterbalanced forklifts, a reach rider truck and order picker. With these additions to its product portfolio, Stärke continues to establish itself as one of the most comprehensive material handling equipment manufacturers in the industry.
