Approach
The operator matters more than the machine.
Yorkgrade has been family-run since 2004. We grew from one backhoe to a full fleet by sending the same careful people to site, job after job.
Certified in the seat
Every operator holds an Ontario Heavy Equipment Operator certificate and at least five years on the machine we send them with.
Nothing moves before locates
Ontario One Call clearances are on site and reviewed with the crew before a bucket touches the ground.
Inspected every morning
Each machine gets a logged circle check before start-up, and a field mechanic is never more than an hour away.
Service area
Based in Vaughan. On your site anywhere in the GTA.
Our yard sits beside the 400 and the 407, which puts most of the region within an hour of a float truck.
