About Falcon

Since 1988, Falcon Equipment has delivered innovative, custom equipment solutions for the lifting, snow and ice, utility, and rail industries. From the beginning, our focus has been on building strong, lasting relationships with our valued customers, dedicated team members, trusted suppliers, and the industry. Our exceptional team brings integrity and a commitment to excellence to every aspect of our operations.

From a Three Bay Shop to Ten Locations Across Canada

Falcon Equipment began with a vision to offer quality and unmatched service to the crane industry in British Columbia’s Lower Mainland. What began with 3 people in a small 3 bay shop has now expanded to 10 locations across Canada, a mobile service fleet and satellite sales staff. From the start Falcon quickly grew its product offerings to include a variety of lifting, snow and ice, utility, and rail equipment to better serve our customers. Falcon strongly believes in the principles and values this company was built on and is focused on continuing to be an industry leader.

2004: Falcon Shuttle Rail

Falcon Shuttle Rail Inc. (FSR) was born. While FSR was a separate company it shared many of the same resources as Falcon. FSR focused on mobile railcar movers, hi-rail trucks and equipment, light rail transit units, and custom-built units for the rail industry. As of 2019, Falcon Shuttle Rail joined Falcon Equipment to become Falcon’s Rail Division.

Falcon continues to solidify its position as the market’s leading provider of truck equipment and solutions. With Relam Inc. joining as a strategic partner, we are prioritizing expansion into Ontario while driving growth in rentals and leasing across all the product lines we sell and support.

Our Values & Traits

Falcon was founded on key values and traits, and it’s important to us that each member of our team knows and understands what guides us in our day-to-day business. There isn’t a person on staff (and we’d venture to suggest a lot of our customers too) that hasn’t heard a story from Rick Kielan, our founder, about growing up on a farm in Saskatchewan, a life lesson, the mistakes he made, and the responsibility shouldered. Somehow, he eloquently ties this into every story he tells. Why do we share this? Because much of our foundation and many of our values come from the life lessons of a farm boy.

Our Vision:

To be the number one equipment solutions provider for the industries we serve.

Our Mission:

To be innovators of equipment solutions that provide our customers with an efficient, effective and safe competitive advantage. We will achieve this through way of continuous improvement, safety initiatives, supporting and investing in our people, and aligning ourselves with the highest quality products.
