Hangcha Canada expands Quebec dealer network

Hangcha Forklift Canada says it has expanded its dealer network in Quebec, shifting from a single-dealer model to a province-wide structure aimed at improving access to sales, rentals, service and parts.

The company said the network now includes 15 authorized dealers across regions including Montreal, Quebec City, Abitibi-Témiscamingue, Saguenay-Lac-Saint-Jean, Mauricie, Estrie and Eastern Quebec. Customers are supported by more than 100 field technicians and a 30,000-square-foot parts operation at its head office in Vaudreuil-Dorion.

Hangcha Canada reported early momentum following the transition, with bookings in Quebec rising 52 per cent in the first quarter of 2026 compared with the same period last year. Data reported to the Industrial Truck Association shows the company’s market share in the province increased by 2.6 per cent for orders booked and 9.9 per cent for orders shipped.

“What we’re seeing in Quebec confirms the value of a more efficient, scalable support model,” said Yan Lamontagne, sales and product director, at Hangcha Canada. “We’ve shortened the distance between customers and the service they rely on.”

The company said dealers were selected based on factors including geographic coverage, technical capacity, customer base, rental fleet presence and parts infrastructure.

“Over the past few years, we’ve seen the Hangcha brand gain traction in Quebec, supported by product performance and positive customer feedback,” said Louis Gauthier, president of Gauthier Chariots Élévateurs. “Today, with parts more readily available than ever through their provincial headquarters and a broad range of innovative equipment, we’re confident in the value it brings to customers and the opportunity to grow with the brand as part of the new dealer network.”

As part of the transition, the company is offering Quebec customers an additional year or 2,000 hours of full warranty coverage at no cost for those who transfer service to an authorized dealer.

Hangcha Canada said the expanded network is expected to improve service access, reduce downtime and support fleet management across industries including automotive, warehousing, manufacturing and transportation.

The company said it sees growth opportunities in Quebec over the next 12 to 24 months and plans to continue investing in dealer development, with a focus on lithium-ion equipment and expanding its product lineup.
