Who to See at NHES 2026.

Two-hundred-and-forty-eight exhibitors, thirteen thousand visitors, and two days at the International Centre for the 30th edition of Canada's largest indoor heavy-equipment show. Here's the cut of Canadian booths worth a walk, the family-owned aftermarket shops, the niche tech that turns a 40-tonne excavator into three machines, and the dealers who quietly keep the country's fleets running.

Editor Picks

Editor's Note

Canadian Mining & Energy

We picked these booths because they're either doing something Canadian fleet managers are quietly relying on, or because they're the kind of small-shop specialist a contractor only finds once. Our Spotlight up top is the shortest of short lists, four Canadian-rooted picks the buying side keeps asking us about.

★ Spotlight

The booths to walk to first.

Four Canadian-rooted smaller players from across the show floor, a Mississauga family aftermarket operator, a Swedish productivity tool with a Canadian sales arm, a Quebec-based construction-tech reseller, and an Ontario reliability specialist that has been quietly extending equipment life since 1977.

BEC Equipment (BPT Components) logo
Mississauga Family-Owned Aftermarket

BEC Equipment (BPT Components)

Locally family-owned and operated out of Mississauga with forty-plus years in the off-highway aftermarket, BEC runs a 30,000-square-foot warehouse and repair facility servicing engines, axles, transmissions, differentials, and converters. Dealer for Wacker Neuson, Doosan Portable Power, and Atlas Copco, and one of the largest stocking aftermarket heavy-equipment parts suppliers in Canada.

engcon Canada logo
Tiltrotators Productivity Canadian Subsidiary

engcon Canada

Swedish-engineered tiltrotators and attachments that turn a single excavator into a tool carrier capable of replacing several machines, on a single boom. The Canadian sales arm is the booth Ontario and Western Canadian fleet managers visit when they're benchmarking productivity gains against another excavator purchase, and finding the tiltrotator wins.

Elation-Tech logo
Construction Tech Machine Control GNSS

Elation-Tech

Multi-brand construction-technology supplier for the excavation, survey, and earthworks crowd, 2D and 3D machine control, GNSS rovers, optical instruments, laser levels, locators, and the calibration-and-repair service that keeps the kit honest. The Canadian distributor most contractors call when an OEM machine-control quote feels suddenly suspicious.

FLO Components logo
Reliability Lubrication Since 1977

FLO Components

Equipment reliability specialist out of Ontario, automatic greasing systems, vehicle fire suppression, and garage bulk fluid handling for heavy-equipment owners and the trucking fleets that move them. Since 1977, FLO has been quietly extending component life with kit from Graco, SKF Vogel, Lincoln, Alemite, and Petro-Canada, plus the AFEX fire suppression line built specifically for mobile equipment.

/ 01

Attachments, Parts & The Aftermarket.

The booths the maintenance shop superintendent has bookmarked. Canadian distributors, family-owned rebuilders, and the specialty attachment makers turning an excavator into something more useful than the OEM put on the floor plan.

Ontario-based joint venture with Fai Filtri Italy since 2001, supplying hydraulic, air, oil, and air-oil-separator filters at OEM-level performance with stock in Canada. The independent filter source that turns a six-week OEM lead time into a same-week swap.

Lubecore International

Auto Lube Heavy Equipment

ALLU

Family Business Screening & Crushing

Family-owned manufacturer of screening and crushing buckets for processing, separation, sorting, mixing, and crushing of materials on the bucket end of an excavator. Heard most on contaminated-soil and aggregate projects where mobilising a fixed plant doesn't pay.

/ 02

Heavy Equipment & Machinery.

Big iron beyond the majors. Canadian regional specialists, hydraulic equipment manufacturers, and the niche machinery you only learn about from someone who's actually run it.

P

Booth

1048

PROMAC Group

BC Forestry to Construction

Born out of no-nonsense western forestry half a century ago, BC-built Promac manufactures premium attachments and equipment that has crossed over from logging into Canadian construction. The booth where you'll hear the West Coast story most Ontario buyers haven't heard yet.

C

Booth

2314

Cubex Equipment

Municipal Environmental

Canadian supplier of municipal, construction, and environmental equipment, the kind of single-source spec list a public-works manager keeps in a drawer. The booth that tends to get specified into RFPs before the buyer has even visited the floor.

H

Booth

1218

Hydraulic Skidding Systems

Heavy Relocation Launching

HSSI builds its own unique line of hydraulic skidding and launching kit for heavy-relocation jobs, the rare booth on the floor where the engineering pedigree is in plain sight on the trailer outside.

D

Booth

2620

DYNASET

Hydraulic Conversion Finland

Finnish global leader in hydraulic equipment that converts a machine's existing hydraulic power into electricity, compressed air, water pressure, or magnetism, generators, compressors, and pumps that work off the boom. The kit that quietly removes a second engine from a service truck.

Quebec Family Business

Quebec-based family business with 30-plus years in heavy trucks, specialising in the sale and service of work trucks for the construction trades. The Quebec voice on a floor that often defaults to Ontario.

/ 03

Equipment Dealerships & Rentals.

The local hands. Canadian-owned dealerships and rental yards quietly outflanking the national brands on relationship and service, with the kind of family-business backstory the contractor wants on his cell phone, not in a call centre.

F

Booth

3010

Frontline Machinery

Family-Owned Processing

Family-owned Canadian heavy-equipment dealer specialising in processing equipment, the BC and prairie favourite for crushers, screens, and conveyors when an aggregate operator doesn't want a faceless national dealer.

A

Booth

2420

Amaco Equipment

Ontario

Ontario equipment dealer with a deliberately small-but-curated lineup, the booth that picks the lines it sells, rather than carrying everyone. A useful counterweight to the OEM-anchored dealership group.

Technology, Digital & Safety Solutions.

I

Booth

IVO Systems

Heavy Civil Ops Software

Operations-software platform purpose-built for heavy-civil contractors, equipment tracking, dispatch, maintenance, and the dashboards a fleet manager actually opens twice a day. The booth that quietly retired several whiteboard processes in the dispatch trailer.

V

Veristart Technologies

Canadian Access Control

Canadian cloud-based equipment access control, security, and compliance platform, the layer between an idle machine and an authorised operator. Useful on theft-exposed urban sites and increasingly an insurance-quote prerequisite.

Fourth Meridian Geo Supply

Canadian Positioning & Geospatial

Canadian distributor of advanced positioning and geospatial technologies for survey and construction, the kit that turns a stake-and-string layout into a GNSS-driven dig. The booth a survey crew looks to when they want a non-OEM-locked positioning stack.
