ALL ABOARD BSIA: FIRST STOP ML-TRUCK EQUIPMENT!

All aboard! First stop: ML-Truck Equipment! BSIA members fueled up, fed their curiosity and recently got hands-on at ML-Truck Equipment, the first stop on their Fall 2025 West Coast Tour.

What a way to kick off the morning! Approximately 30 BC building supply retailers and wholesalers were met with much-needed coffee, doughnuts, muffins and a lot of excitement as they stepped off the shuttle at ML-Truck’s new Abbotsford location earlier this month and got the day off to a great start.

After a quick welcome by Manager Stirling Roberston (it was a jam-packed hour with a lot to see and learn), guests, from forklift operators to store managers, from large chains and independents, split into two groups. Account Managers, Jeff Vehse and Kevin Gibson, took them on a tour of the facility, with stops in the bays and to get up close with some of the work-ready HIAB crane and Moffett forklift truck packages.

Other shop stops included hands-on demos of a Moffett all-electric truck-mounted forklift with Pat and a trip to another dimension with Dylan, showcasing the HIAB HiSKILL 3D Virtual Reality crane training system—both new technologies for most attendees.

MasonLift, ML-Truck’s regional service dealers, were also on hand for the tour.

Time flew, but the feedback from visitors was phenomenal.

Nav Toor, Event and Membership Coordinator at BSIA, shared that “of all the places [members] toured, they enjoyed ML-Truck the most as it was the only stop with a hands-on example.”

So BSIA members left happy, new branded hats in hand. ML-Truck staff are happy. And we’re happy to see our Atlas Polar family doing so well.
