ShearForce Equipment Picks Up Where Terrafirma Left Off in Northern Alberta

ShearForce Equipment and key former employees of Terrafirma Equipment has announced that they are joining forces in northern Alberta to provide sales, rentals, parts, and repair and maintenance services for hydraulic excavator attachments. They are not only expanding their regional support capacity across northern Alberta, but also the product lines they can service and repair. The news comes following the announcement of the closure of Terrafirma Equipment Sales and Rentals Inc. in Edmonton, a long-standing equipment dealer with more than 50 years of dedication and experience in servicing their rental and sales customers across northern Alberta. With the opening of their new sales and service center in Airdrie, Alberta, this past July, the move cements ShearForce as Western Canada’s hydraulic attachment specialists, now offering local on-the-ground support across BC and Alberta.

For the management team at ShearForce Equipment, timing was essential to making the move into northern Alberta. Said president Brad Dewit, “We were focused on building our presence in central Alberta with the new facility in Airdrie this summer, and when the opportunity arose, we knew we had to jump at the chance to enhance our service offering to the entire province. We feel fortunate to have the opportunity to prove that we are up to the challenge of supporting our collective customers’ needs with our enhanced sales and support capabilities across all the regions we serve.”

ShearForce will continue to back all of Terrafirma’s attachments for excavators, backhoes, and skid steers with parts, service, and technical support, including Allied hammers and compactors, HKS actuators, Epiroc (Atlas Copco) hammers, compactors and demolition attachments, Rotar shears, screening buckets, pulverizers, and demo grabs, Vibra-Ram shears and pulverizers, and Antraquip saws and drum cutters. They will also have a small fleet of demolition excavators available for rent in northern Alberta and beyond, along with their full line-up of hydraulic attachments, including hammers, hydraulic rippers, demolition pulverizers, brush cutters, mobile scrap shears, and more.

The ShearForce team is poised and ready to meet the needs of Terrafirma’s customers now and into the future. Visit shearforce.ca for updates, and watch for a new facility announcement in the coming weeks.
