Blue Giant Named Canada's Exclusive Distributor of Big Joe Equipment

Blue Giant Equipment Corporation has entered into a strategic partnership with Big Lift LLC to exclusively distribute the Big Joe brand of material handling equipment in Canada. “We think it’s an excellent fit,” says Jeff Miller, Blue Giant’s Vice-President of Sales and Marketing. “Blue Giant and Big Lift LLC have a shared vision: to anticipate the needs of the market and respond by developing new, technologically innovative product.” 

In 2010 Blue Giant launched its U-series air cylinder and airbag dock levelers to supply a growing demand for eco-friendly, energy-efficient loading dock equipment. Big Joe by Blue Giant will be pursuing a new launch plan for the line of AC material handling products. “The Big Joe by Blue Giant material handling equipment will boost productivity,” says Gregory Ion. “There are no carbon brushes to monitor and replace, so the end user experiences less downtime due to maintenance needs. “Blue Giant began in 1963 as a manufacturer of dock levelers and hand pallet trucks. Big Joe was founded in 1950, and its forklifts quickly became a mainstay in U.S. factories and warehouses. Miller confirmed that the Big Joe equipment will be branded and marketed in Canada as Big Joe by Blue Giant. “It’s a connection both companies are proud of,” he said.
