Picker truck and trailer. 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 trucks are carefully chosen and built, a lot of it in-house, […]
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 rebuild. A few years ago, we realized the search for people, good people, required an experienced person. A real Human Resources specialist. When the Oil Sands were overheating our economy and sucking up every available man and woman in the country, we had to get very creative to get and retain our people. Everyone […]
