Refurbished and Used Hoists
We are proud to offer multiple options for refurbished and used hoists to provide significant cost savings and reduced lead times without compromising on performance or reliability. Whether you are looking for a cost-effective solution, a discontinued hoist model, or need to replace a unit quickly, our refurbished and used options can give you access to quality equipment at a fraction of the speed and build time.
Refurbished as New Hoists
We offer refurbished as new hoists that have been restored to their original factory condition through our rigorous inspection and repair process. These units are fully disassembled, cleaned, and reassembled with new or near-new parts and can be expected to look and perform as new.
Our refurbished as new selection allows us to supply reliable hoists that are no longer in production, including models such as the Demag DH200, DH300, DH400, DH500, DH600, DH1000 and DH2000.
Refurbished and Used Hoists
For customers seeking a more budget-friendly solution, our refurbished hoists are another great option. These units are inspected and repaired as needed, but not entirely rebuilt to like-new condition. While they may show signs of wear, they are fully operational and tested to meet load and operational requirements.
Our selection of used hoists is always expanding as we continue to purchase well-maintained equipment from our customers across Canada. Contact our team today to see what options we have available for purchase and installation!
