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. Growing up, working, and living in this environment has allowed us to carefully select specific brands and models of cranes; and further adapt them to work in […]
Encore Projects Preparation is key Our project work can be one of Encore’s cranes on-site for days or weeks at a time, but most sites need much more support.

Mini cranes Before Encore became a mini crane fan and dealer, we bought an old one, 2.9 ton, sight unseen, from an auction in Vancouver.

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 Lytton Bridge Run. Ready. When Lytton, BC set the record for the hottest temperature in Canada, Alberta was also sweltering in intense temperatures. Our units never slowed down.
