Commercial Truck Equipment — Engineering Canada’s Work Trucks
When essential fleets roll out to plow roads, restore power, or collect waste, they need vehicles built to perform, and partners who get the job done right. That’s why so many across the country trust Commercial Truck Equipment: a true Canadian original with a reputation for quality, service, and forward-thinking engineering.
A Canadian Original
Commercial Truck Equipment traces its roots to the 1940s, when the company, then known as Commercial Body Builders, began building and modifying truck bodies for some of Canada’s toughest industries. Over the decades, Commercial grew from a small shop in Vancouver to a coast-to-coast organization, known for setting high standards in utility, municipal, and emergency fleet builds.
Today, Commercial remains proudly Canadian-owned and operated, employing more than 350 people across a growing network of facilities. From Delta, BC, to Ayr, ON, and now Winnipeg, they’ve built a reputation on two pillars: expert engineering and trusted service.
Built on Engineering Excellence
One of Commercial’s biggest strengths is its in-house engineering team, which supports projects from concept through delivery. They prepare weight and stability calculations, design complete hydraulic and electrical systems, and ensure every build complies with CMVSS, CSA, and provincial standards.
This technical precision is backed by certifications like CWB and COR, plus the National Safety Mark, giving clients peace of mind that their vehicles meet rigorous safety and compliance requirements.
National Reach, Local Service
Commercial isn’t just building trucks; they’re building Canada’s infrastructure. With strategically placed branches, the company supports fleets across industries, ensuring consistent upfitting quality and responsive service. Their recent expansions, like the Winnipeg branch with 16 additional service bays and the renovation of their Ayr, Ontario location, reflect their commitment to growing with their customers.
Trusted Partnerships
Commercial represents some of the most respected brands in the industry, including Terex Utilities, Miller Industries, McNeilus, and Pierce Manufacturing. These long-term partnerships reflect their reputation as a trusted dealer and service provider. They’ve also stepped up as leaders in sustainable fleet innovation, delivering Canada’s first fully electric aerial utility truck equipped with Viatec’s SmartPTO technology.
Why We Value Working with Commercial
What makes Commercial stand out isn’t just their technical capability, it’s their approach. Their team listens, collaborates, and executes with precision. Whether it’s ensuring clean electrical integration or meeting demanding municipal specs, they consistently deliver professional, thoughtful builds that help keep Canada’s fleets safe and productive.
Commercial embodies the same values that matter on every job site: trust, craftsmanship, and an unwavering commitment to doing things right.
