Oakville, Ontario · Serving Ontario since 1982
Broderson carry deck cranes, Versa-Lift rigging forklifts, and ORION high-capacity forklifts built in our own Oakville facility. Rent or buy, with capacities to 160,000 lbs.
Looking to rent or buy?
Whether the project demands a short-term solution or a long-term investment, we carry the machinery for it. Because we stock all three lines and manufacture one of them, the recommendation you get is based on your job rather than on what happens to be in the yard.
Short & long term
Sized to the actual job rather than a rigid minimum. Best when the lifting is project-based, when you need capacity beyond your own fleet a few times a year, or when something has failed and the line is down.
New & available units
New ORION builds configured to your facility, plus available Broderson and Versa-Lift machines. Worth modelling against your annual rental spend if heavy lifting is a routine part of the operation rather than an occasional one.
All three lines
OEM parts for Broderson, ORION and Versa-Lift, and a fully mobile service department equipped for cranes and forklifts rated 20,000 lb and above, from no-starts to structural repairs.
Our equipment
Three lines, each built for a different lifting problem. Pick one to see every model, or tell us the load and we will size it with you.
Compact, low-profile cranes that fit through a plant door and work in bays a conventional mobile crane cannot reach. A 360° rotating boom over a flat load deck, so the rigging and the replacement part travel with the machine. LPG options for confined and underground work.
2.5 to 25 ton · 10 models
All Broderson cranes →Our own line, designed and manufactured in Oakville since 2009. Hydrostatic drive for precise placement under load, and a quick-change carriage that swaps forks to boom in about ten minutes. Parts and service come from here rather than an overseas supply chain.
24,000 to 160,000 lb · 9 models
All ORION forklifts →The riggers' forklift. A hydraulically extending frame moves the counterweight rearward, so one compact machine covers a wide capacity band. Retracted it threads through a plant, extended it makes the pick. Removable telescoping boom for slung loads.

All Versa-Lift models →Why choose High Reach
We have been in heavy lifting since 1979, and under the High Reach name since 1982. In 2000 we were awarded Canadian distribution rights for Versa-Lift, and in 2009 we built our first ORION heavy forklift truck in response to a customer's requirement.
Strong relationships are the backbone of that. It is why our team works through the application with you before anything leaves the yard, rather than quoting a model number back at you and hoping it fits.
More about High Reach
Our commitment to quality
The cost of a machine failing mid-shift is measured in lost production, not in the repair bill. That is the standard we build and service to.
Superior Canadian craftsmanship
ORION is our own line, manufactured at our facility on Wyecroft Road by people who spent decades moving heavy machinery in Canadian plants. The machine is shaped by real operating conditions rather than a spec sheet written elsewhere.
Headroom, ventilation and floor loading decide the crane before capacity does. What changes below surface, and how to size cranes for mining in Ontario.
Which crane for an indoor lift? Coverage, clearance, floor loading, and the Ontario rule that any crane over 16,000 lbs needs a certified operator.
ORION high-capacity forklifts are built in Ontario for Canadian plants. Capacities from 24,000 to 160,000 lbs, available for rental or purchase nationwide.
