Cooper Equipment Rentals Limited recently announced its acquisition Rent All Centre and Skyhigh Platforms in Ontario and Big Stick Rentals in Alberta. The strategic additions extend Cooper\u2019s reach in both Eastern and Western Canada as the company says it is moving to solidify its position as the nation\u2019s leading independent equipment rental company with a commitment to exceptional service, strong regional partnerships and a customer-first approach.<\/p>\n
Founded in 1973, Rent All Centre (RAC) and Skyhigh Platforms have served contractors and businesses with general rental and aerial equipment. Their full-service rental locations across Cobourg, Port Hope, Peterborough, Belleville and Trenton, along with Skyhigh\u2019s aerial specialty location in Whitby, will now operate under the Cooper banner.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt is with great pride that we have now joined another Canadian owned company, to continue the path we\u2019ve been walking,\u201d stated company president Brian Wheatley. \u201cThe Cooper family will continually improve on our already excellent service and reputation.\u201d<\/p>\n
Cooper says the acquisition enhances its service footprint in Peterborough and the 401 corridor, complementing its existing network in Toronto, Oshawa, Kingston and Ottawa, adding that the integration of RAC and Skyhigh will create seamless equipment sharing and expanded resources, increasing efficiency and availability for customers.<\/p>\n
Cooper\u2019s western acquisition features a modern fleet and a prime location in Grande Prairie, Alta., says the company. Big Stick Rentals has built a reputation for reliability and service excellence since its founding in 2013. Under the leadership of Kevin Bjornson, the company has become a key player in Northern Alberta\u2019s rental market.<\/p>\n
\u201cI never expected to find a large partner who shared the same core values and culture as our little company. As I learned more about Cooper, it became evident that the small family who made large contributions to Big Stick Rentals\u2019 success would be well taken care of in the Cooper family,\u201d said Bjornson.<\/p>\n
Big Stick\u2019s location in Grande Prairie strengthens Cooper\u2019s coverage in Western Canada, enabling broader geographic reach, equipment availability, and service flexibility across Alberta and beyond.<\/p>\n
For Doug Dougherty, CEO of Cooper, the acquisitions represent more than geographic expansion. He says they reinforce Cooper\u2019s commitment to being Canada\u2019s only truly national, independent rental company.<\/p>\n
\u201cAt Cooper, we don\u2019t just grow for the sake of growth \u2013 we expand with purpose,\u201d he said. \u201cBringing these respected businesses into the Cooper family means we\u2019re strengthening our service, growing our footprint, and staying true to what matters most: delivering the best rental experience in the industry.\u201d<\/p>\n
Brian Spilak, COO of Cooper, highlighted the operational advantages of the expansion. \u201cFor our customers, these acquisitions mean more access to the equipment they need, where and when they need it. By expanding our network, we\u2019re not just adding locations \u2013 we\u2019re investing in better service, faster response times, and deeper local expertise,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
