Hercules Crane & Lifting Supplies 2026: A Year in Review & Looking Ahead

As 2026 comes to a close and the holiday season arrives, we want to take a moment to reflect on a year defined by growth, regional expansion, team success, and an unwavering commitment to supporting our customers across Canada. From physical branch relocations to digital store upgrades and standout industry event showcases, 2026 has been another historic chapter for Hercules Crane & Lifting Supplies.

Here is a look back at what we accomplished together in 2026 and a glimpse into where we are headed next.

2026 Highlights & Milestones

Upgraded Facilities: Langley & Sudbury Branch Relocations

To better serve our growing customer base in both Western and Central Canada, 2026 saw two major branch moves:

  • Langley Branch Relocation: Our Langley team moved into a new premises designed to accommodate larger inventory, enhance operational workflow, and streamline order fulfillments across British Columbia. Our BC branch is now located at: 7388 Hume Ave. Delta, BC V4G 1C5


  • Sudbury Branch Relocation: Our Sudbury team successfully transitioned to a new facility, improving accessibility and service capabilities for our valued clients in Northern Ontario. Our Sudbury branch is now located at: 2858 Highway 144 E, Chelmsford, Ontario, P0M 1L0


These investments reflect our commitment to continually improving local support, ensuring faster turnaround times, and bringing our high-quality lifting products and services even closer to your job sites.

Strengthening Regional Training Capabilities

Safety and compliance remain at the heart of everything we do. In 2026, we expanded our training division by adding new dedicated Trainer support in Mississauga and Langley.

This strategic addition expands our regional coverage across both Ontario and British Columbia, allowing us to offer more flexible, comprehensive, and localized training programs—from rigging and overhead crane safety to fall protection—helping your workforce stay safe, skilled, and fully compliant.

Enhancing the Digital Experience: E-Commerce Upgrades

Our digital storefront continues to evolve alongside our physical locations. Throughout 2026, we expanded our online store to give you access to a broader range of rigging hardware, hoisting equipment, and specialized safety gear.

In addition to adding new products, we overhauled our product descriptions and technical resources online. By offering richer detail, specs, and application guidelines, we're empowering our customers to make faster, more informed purchasing decisions anytime, anywhere.

A Standout Showing at the National Heavy Equipment Show

What an incredible showing at the National Heavy Equipment Show in Mississauga!

Our Hamilton, Mississauga, and Service teams came together and made it happen, representing Hercules Crane & Lifting Supplies with energy, pride, and professionalism that truly reflected the best of who we are.

From setup to the final conversation on the floor, it was a true team effort. The connections made, the technical questions answered, and the relationships built over these two days are a testament to what we can accomplish when we work together. A huge thank you to everyone who stopped by our booth and connected with our team!
