Konecranes Plc of Hyvinkää, Finland has granted exclusive rights for Strongco Corp to distribute its heavy lifting equipment in nine provinces and one territory of Canada.

Publicly traded Mississauga-based Strongco has gained rights to distribute Konecranes forklifts with lifting capacities ranging between 10 T. and 65 T., empty and laden container handlers with lifting capacities ranging between 8 T. and 46 T. and three main types of reach stackers.
