About Industrial Truck Service
Built on Service. Driven by People.
Since 1971, Industrial Truck Service has helped businesses across Manitoba and Saskatchewan keep moving with dependable material handling equipment, responsive support and a team committed to doing things right.
Proudly Canadian Since 1971
More Than 50 Years of Keeping Business Moving
Industrial Truck Service began in Winnipeg in November 1971 with a straightforward goal: provide dependable service, quality equipment and the kind of customer care that builds lasting relationships.
From an early shop on McPhillips Street, the company steadily grew alongside the businesses it served. Industrial Truck Service later moved to its current Winnipeg location on Durand Road, expanded into Regina and Saskatoon, and built long-standing relationships with some of the material handling industry’s most respected manufacturers.
Through every stage of that growth, one thing has remained constant: a belief that strong businesses are built by good people, honest work and a willingness to continually improve.

Built for Today
The Equipment Has Changed. Our Standard Hasn’t.
Material handling has changed dramatically since 1971. Equipment has become smarter, cleaner and more connected. Digital diagnostics, fleet technology and modern service tools now help businesses understand their equipment and reduce downtime in ways that were once impossible. Industrial Truck Service has evolved right alongside it.
What has not changed is the expectation behind the work: respond quickly, understand the customer’s operation, provide the right solution and stand behind it.
