Heli Canada has continued to expand its presence across the country opening a new warehouse in Ontario, adding to its operations in Quebec.

Heli Canada’s president, Guillaume Joyal, explains the opening of the 35,000 sqft. (3,250 sqm) facility is a “pivotal”  moment for the company as it looks to strengthen its presence within Canada.

The company says the Ontario warehouse has been designed to provide immediate access to its equipment range which includes electric and internal combustion forklifts, pallet trucks, stackers, reach trucks, and order pickers. 

Heli first appeared in Canada through sub-dealer Techlift in 2006 before the company opened its own office in Quebec in 2012. It now has more than 30 authorised dealers across Canada.
