How does Encore work in the winter? How do they get their units started in -30 to 40 degrees Celsius below? When the ‘winds of November come calling’, you better be ready. Not just the operators, but the gear. When Winter comes Encore is fortunate enough in the capital district to have enough available garages […]
Nothing can explain our moving talents better than a tour thru an actual job. We have two interesting moves in the last part of February 2022. As part of a larger full-scale move, we were required to remove 15 fuel tanks from inside a building. Move them outside then relocate to another site. They […]
A day in the life of Heavy Haul Transport…………. As we plan and execute yet another day here at Encore I watch out the window as our two biggest trailer combinations head out the main gate to load in excess of 220000 lbs. combined. Is this typical, or daily, not yet, but it is becoming […]
The long reach of the crane into the skyline is a familiar sight. With booms reaching almost 200 ft, Encore’s boom trucks have become part of this landscape.

Picker truck and trailer. (Knuckle Boom) With the right specs, a good boom truck and trailer is a time-saving, cost-efficient Machine. It can pick up its load, drive across town, or the province and offload, construct, or just go to work. Encore’s crane and […]
Location, Location, Location Located just off the Yellowhead on the Eastern edge of Edmonton; Encore’s spacious yards are easily able to accommodate the largest loads for storage. We keep our power units and trailers to the outside and leave a large working area in the center. This allows 100 ft plus loads to enter […]
The problem with Forklifts. Encore moves a lot of gear, every day. Some of it was ideally suited to a forklift application. We could usually get creative with our cranes and get the job done, but we needed a forklift. And we ran into THE PROBLEM. In a business like ours, working for multiple […]

The Blair Witch Tale Below is our recollection of the Blair Witch Tale. Photo Credit: FredL2.0 Story#1 Encore got a call from the Blair Witch, she wanted a bush cabin moved. Sent some grainy black and whites, a scratchy map, detailed instructions and a warning, “Don’t turn right!” We have to put eyes on this. […]
