Company Overview
About Hy-Brid Lifts Headquartered in Richfield, Wisconsin, United States
Hy-Brid Lifts is a scissor-lift brand built by Custom Equipment LLC, a company founded in 1981 by Steve and Lynn Kissinger in Wisconsin and later headquartered in Richfield, Wisconsin. The business began as a fabrication and welding operation before moving into aerial-work-platform manufacturing, developing the expertise that would later define its own product line.
The Hy-Brid Lifts product line was launched in 2004, when Custom Equipment identified demand for a smaller, lighter work platform and introduced the HB-1030. The brand specializes in low-level access scissor lifts and is known for producing some of the lightest machines in the industry, with low floor-loading pressures that suit sensitive or finished floors. The company reached a milestone of 10,000 lifts manufactured in 2018, reflecting steady adoption of its low-level platforms.
In 2024 Custom Equipment rebranded as AXCS Equipment, continuing to manufacture the Hy-Brid Lifts range, including the Pro Series and Zero-Turn slab scissor lifts, while expanding into additional aerial-equipment categories. The lifts are widely used in construction, electrical, mechanical and interior-finishing trades where weight, maneuverability and low ground pressure matter, making them well suited to indoor and finished-site work.
In Canada, Hy-Brid Lifts are available through aerial-equipment dealers and rental fleets, with the brand's machines listed across Canadian equipment marketplaces and parts support provided through distributors such as TVH. This gives Canadian contractors and rental operators access to Hy-Brid's low-level scissor lifts for interior fit-out, maintenance and finishing applications where heavier lifts are impractical.

Why Canada Chooses Hy-Brid Lifts
Hy-Brid Lifts in the Canadian Construction Market
North American-built equipment has always had a natural home in Canadian construction. Hy-Brid Lifts's engineering teams develop machines with the full range of Canadian job site conditions in mind - from coastal British Columbia's wet, clay-heavy soils to the frozen ground of northern Manitoba, the sandy terrain of Southern Ontario aggregate operations, and the remote Arctic sites accessible only by ice road. This continent-native understanding of conditions translates to equipment that simply works in Canada's challenging environments without extensive modification.
The Hy-Brid Lifts dealer network across Canada is one of the most comprehensive in the industry, with authorized service centers in every province offering factory-trained technicians, stocked parts depots, and rapid response support. For large contractors running a Hy-Brid Lifts-dominant fleet, this infrastructure means predictable maintenance costs, fast parts availability, and confidence that manufacturer support is never far away.
The cold-weather capabilities engineered into Hy-Brid Lifts machines - block heaters, battery isolators, cold-grade hydraulic fluids, and heated cab packages - are not optional extras on Canadian worksites; they are standard expectations. Hy-Brid Lifts delivers these as baseline features across most of their line-up, reducing the setup time and outfitting costs that come with less climate-conscious competitors.
Renting Hy-Brid Lifts equipment through HeavyRentals.ca gives you access to owner-maintained machines from across Canada. Our platform's verified owner network means every Hy-Brid Lifts unit listed has been maintained to the standards that protect your production and your crew's safety. Daily, weekly, and monthly rental options give you the flexibility to scale your fleet to project demands - with no long-term capital commitment.

Where Hy-Brid Lifts Equipment Performs Across Canada
Boreal Forest & Muskeg
Hy-Brid Lifts's ground-pressure management and track engineering keep machines productive where others sink. Northern Ontario, Manitoba, and Saskatchewan feature vast boreal forest underlain by muskeg - water-saturated organic soil that challenges conventional equipment.
Rocky Mountain Terrain
BC and Alberta's mountain corridors demand machines capable of operating on steep grades, in confined valleys, and against extremely hard rock. Heavy-duty undercarriage and high ground clearance are prerequisites for mountain work.
Prairies & Agriculture
Saskatchewan, Manitoba, and Alberta's agricultural plains feature deep clay and loam soils with significant seasonal variation. Spring thaw and fall freeze cycles create dramatically different ground conditions that demand adaptable equipment.
Cold-Weather Readiness
Canada's winters test every piece of machinery. Temperatures in northern and central Canada regularly drop below -30°C, with extreme cold snaps reaching -50°C with windchill in some regions. Hy-Brid Lifts equipment is built to start, operate, and maintain full productivity in these conditions - with hydraulic systems, engine cooling, and electrical systems engineered for extreme cold as a standard expectation, not an afterthought. On HeavyRentals.ca, Canadian Hy-Brid Lifts owners maintain their machines with winter-grade fluids and cold-climate service packages so you get equipment that performs when temperatures plunge.
Regulatory Compliance
Canada's provincial and federal construction regulations set rigorous standards for equipment safety, emissions, and operator protection. Hy-Brid Lifts machines certified for the Canadian market meet Transport Canada, CSA, and provincial WorkSafe regulations out of the factory. This compliance infrastructure gives contractors the confidence to deploy rented equipment on government contracts, municipal projects, and safety-audited job sites without modification or variance requests. When you rent Hy-Brid Lifts through HeavyRentals.ca, you're getting market-certified equipment from verified Canadian owners.

Rental Advantage
Why Rent Hy-Brid Lifts Instead of Buying?
Zero Depreciation
New heavy equipment depreciates 20-30% in its first year. Renting means you pay only for utilization - no balance sheet liability, no residual value risk on your fleet.
Right Machine Every Job
Different projects need different equipment configurations. Renting from HeavyRentals.ca means you can spec the exact Hy-Brid Lifts model for the task - not make do with what you own.
No Maintenance Overhead
When you rent, maintenance is the owner's responsibility. Skip the dealer relationship management, service scheduling, and parts inventory that comes with ownership.
Scale With Your Pipeline
Whether you have one project or twelve running simultaneously, a rental approach scales your fleet instantly - add machines when busy, return them when idle. No fixed costs.
Hy-Brid Lifts Rental for Canadian Projects
Canada's project-based construction economy - driven by short paving and building seasons, annual municipal budget cycles, and the boom-bust nature of resource extraction - is structurally well-suited to equipment rental. Contractors who rent their Hy-Brid Lifts fleet through HeavyRentals.ca maintain the flexibility to scale operations seasonally without the long-term overhead of ownership.
For smaller contractors, municipalities, and first-time operators, renting also provides access to higher-specification Hy-Brid Lifts machines than their capital budget could support through purchase. A tier-one excavator or high-capacity crane that would be unattainable as a purchase becomes an accessible weekly rental for a specific project phase.
Hy-Brid Lifts maintains an established Canadian dealer network through Available through Canadian aerial-lift dealers and rental houses, with parts distributed via TVH Canada, ensuring parts and factory support are available in every major market - adding an additional layer of confidence when renting Hy-Brid Lifts equipment from verified owners on our platform.
