Our history

2002

Foundation of Cisolift

Cisolift is born. The company opens its first lifting equipment distribution centre in Drummondville. Initially, Cisolift sells only used equipment. After just a few months, the demand for aerial lift equipment is so strong that the company moves to a larger facility, still in Drummondville.

2005

Cisolift move

After 3 years, the demand for aerial equipment at Cisolift continues to grow rapidly. The company moves and settles on a 100,000 square feet site where a 5,600 square feet building is located in Saint-Germain-de-Grantham. This move allows Cisolift to be very close to Highway 20 and to have a greater visibility among its customers.

2007

Mechanic workshop expansion

To better meet customer needs and keep pace with the company's continued growth, Cisolift expands its mechanical workshop by 2,500 square feet. This expansion also improves daily operations and reduces lift equipment delivery times.

2007

Exclusive partnership with Bil-Jax

Cisolift success and expertise were the subject of much talk in the lifting equipment field. The manufacturer Bil-Jax is well aware of this and appoints Cisolift as an exclusive distributor in Quebec of the new Bil-Jax towable boom lift.

2009

Exclusive partnership with Haulotte

Like Bil-Jax, the manufacturer Haulotte recognizes Cisolift expertise and passion. The 2 companies sign an agreement allowing Cisolift to become the exclusive Quebec distributor of Haulotte lift equipment.

2016

Arrival of 2 new passionate owners

Karine Toutant and Pascal Leclerc become the owners of Cisolift. For them and for the entire team Cisolift is a major player in the world of lift equipment. It is a human-oriented company where personalized service is at the forefront and where the safety of customers during work at heights is essential. The new owners are passionate, have many good ideas and are very positive about the future of the company.

2018

Founding of Liftup

Cisolift establishes Liftup, a company specializing in electric insulated truck-mounted boom lifts in Quebec. This 100% electric solution meets the growing demand for environmentally friendly lifting equipment, further demonstrating Cisolift's leadership in innovation and sustainable development within the lifting industry. To effectively serve the market, Liftup becomes the exclusive distributor of these innovative aerial lifts in the United States.

2019

Exclusive partnership with LGMG

With a desire to expand their distribution in North America, LGMG chose Cisolift as their distributor of choice. Cisolift now have the exclusive distribution for all aerial lift equipment across Ontario, Quebec and the Maritimes.

2020

Opening of a branch in Ontario

To better meet the growing demand in Ontario, Cisolift is setting up a sales and a service team at 1290 Arvin Ave in Stoney Creek. This acquisition allows the team to grow and receive a physical inventory on site to better meet customer needs.

2022

Acquisition of a new building in St-Germain de Grantham

Due to the growing demand, Cisolift acquired the land and the building from its previous neighbour. The storage space is therefore significantly improved and the number of offices as well. This new acquisition allows the company to expand its service team as well as its inventory in order to support the growth.

2023

Relocation of the branch to Ontario

The growing demand is not felt only in Quebec. Indeed, Cisolift is moving the Ontario office to Grimsby right beside the Queen Elizabeth Highway. The new offices will provide a larger storage area as well as a greater number of offices in order to improve and diversify the services offered to customers.

2023

Creation of Cisolift University

Committed to maintaining its high standards of quality and expertise, Cisolift creates its center of excellence. Cisolift University aims to train and develop the key skills of its employees, particularly in the technical areas specific to the lifting industry. It reflects Cisolift's ongoing commitment to the quality of service offered to its customers and to the development of its teams.

2024

Founding of Rentup

Continuing its growth and commitment to its customers, Cisolift establishes Rentup. This new company specializes in aerial lift re-rentals for equipment rental businesses, providing a flexible and accessible solution to its equipment rental center partners across Canada.

2024

Relocation of the Drummondville Branch

To continue raising standards and meet the growing demand for lifting equipment in Eastern Canada, Cisolift relocates its Saint-Germain-de-Grantham branch. Its new premises accommodate an expanded team, a larger inventory of equipment and parts, and an enlarged mechanical workshop, further strengthening Cisolift's ability to serve its customers optimally.
