A great deal of excitement and buzz was created within the walls and out into the parking lot here at L P International Inc. Our shingle exposing the identity of those within finally hung. The so-called tombstone as it’s been known for the past 10 years became adorn with shiny new sides.

As a first time vendor partner demonstrating our PowerMate® stair climbing hand trucks and interior tail gate lifts (LiftGates), we had the opportunity to meet with some old friends and made dozens of new ones in the desert. The Members interest in the PowerMate dolly was so great that neither Brad Budgell nor I had a chance to eat and were still doing lifting demonstrations and answering questions long after show hours! Thanks to all the BuyMax Members for your keen interest in PowerMate. We look forward to working with you and your companies for many years to come!

September 16, 2012 marks the 30th anniversary date for the manufacturing entity producing stairclimbing and lifting solutions.  L P International Inc’s name was chosen to reflect the global nature of the clientele to which the product was sold. Today, with distribution in certain markets worldwide and strong sales cross-border the name continues to be appropriate. Though original designs of PowerMate stairclimbers dated from late 1976 and were originally manufactured in small town of Burford,Ontario, and then later moved into manufacturing facilities in Brantford,Ontario.

August 13, 2012, Brantford, ON: PowerMate is pleased to announce a new Equipment Financing Program with Allstate Capital, LLC, a company based out of Pompano Beach, Florida, in providing an option of third party equipment financing to its customers.

Do you rent equipment to contractors? If so, than take a moment to consider the advantages of renting a motorized hand truck. Most rental places charge a premium to rent a PowerMate because of its’ uniqueness and application specific uses. Many rental companies include a PowerMate rental when they rent other products like concrete polishers, generators, floor sanders, drain cleaners and other heavy loads because a PowerMate can lift loads on and off trucks and up and down stairs.

PowerMate motorized hand trucks are used extensively by HVAC contractors to move hot water heaters, AC units, furnaces, radiators, geothermal heat pumps and boilers for residential and commercial installations because, unlike a regular hand truck, the PowerMate protects the operator from lifting stain. A PowerMate does the grunt work and has the added benefit of saving contractors on labor costs. On average, a contractor can cut labor costs in half when using a PowerMate to move loads to the point of install. These are real, tangible benefits that contractors recognize and will respond to.
