Crane Power in Quebec acquires 19 Tadano Rough Terrain Cranes
GUAY specializes in operated and non-operated crane rentals throughout Quebec, and they have increased their rental fleet with the purchase of 19 Tadano Rough Terrain Cranes. GUAY has taken delivery of these world-renowned machines ranging from the 55-ton class up to 160-ton RTs.
Guillaume Gagnon, Executive Vice President of GUAY, describes their fleet additions, “We wanted to renew the RTs in our rental fleet and now have access to better technology, like the Smart Chart on the Tadano. Our decision was made on the reliability of the Tadano RTs. We work in remote area winter conditions, so we wanted to have a rough terrain that was reliable. Also, what we like is all the rough terrain models have the same operational pattern (lots of parts in common). So for our technicians and crane operators, they are easier to operate and to maintain -which increases our productivity for our customers.”

Tadano America Regional Business Manager Justin Andrews adds, “We believe these Rough Terrain Cranes are a great fit for GUAY’s fleet and their client’s needs. We look forward to a long relationship between GUAY, Cropac and Tadano.”
Gagnon also appreciates the support from Tadano and its Canadian distributor Cropac, “I would also like to add something about the support we get from Tadano. I know we also appreciate the support we get from our dealership Cropac. When we do our studies to buy the crane, the support and service matter so much. When we have a problem with the crane, they are always there to help us and that’s really important to serve our customer better.”
Cropac Equipment President and Owner Bill Finkle shares Gagnon’s excitement, “Tadano RTs really excel in providing a high-quality experience for our customers. In Canada, we’re really spread out geographically. We have a lot of remote job sites, and it gives us a lot of confidence putting a Tadano into one of those sites where we don’t have access to technicians and parts. Overall the reliability is the best that we’ve experienced in our rental fleet.”
Tadano, Cropac and GUAY have a healthy partnership built on shared values like safety, integrity, reliability and teamwork. GUAY’s business goal is to help customers throughout Quebec complete all their lifting projects. And Tadano is thrilled to be a part of accomplishing and exceeding that goal.
