Manulift is Canada's largest telehandler specialist, distributing and renting equipment from Merlo, Snorkel, and Skytrak across construction, agriculture, mining, and industrial sectors. The company runs a sales-heavy org (38 sales roles open) with steady hiring velocity and a mid-market workforce structure. Active projects center on expanding Merlo's footprint into construction and industrial verticals, while pain points cluster around hard-to-fill sales roles and scaling rural market penetration—signals of a distributor hitting geographic and channel growth limits.
