When a piece of equipment goes down, every hour it sits there costs you. Black Sheep Heavy Duty's picker truck lifts, loads, and hauls it in one trip, so you're not stuck waiting on a second company just to move what needs fixing.
Need Something Picked Up, Loaded, or Moved - Today?
A broken-down piece of equipment stuck on-site is more than a repair problem, it's a logistics problem. Maybe it's an excavator too heavy to tow, a trailer that needs shuffling before your crew can load out, or a component that has to come off before repairs can even start. Whatever the case, the equipment still has to move, and moving it usually means a second phone call to a separate company, on top of whatever repair work is already underway.
Black Sheep Heavy Duty's picker truck is built to close that gap. It's a Kenworth-based unit with a removable flat deck, which means the same truck that lifts and loads your equipment can also haul it, no swapping trucks or waiting on a second vendor to show up. One truck, one crew, one trip instead of three separate calls to three separate companies. If you're already working with us on a repair, adding a pickup or haul is a natural extension of the same job, not a separate headache to manage.
What Our Picker Truck Handles
Our picker isn't a one-trick machine. Because the flat deck comes off, the same truck covers jobs that would normally need two different pieces of equipment:
- Picking and lifting - loading disabled equipment, setting components, and handling on-site lifts that a standard tow truck can't manage
- Hauling - moving equipment between job sites, yards, or our shops on the flat deck
- Trailer shunting - repositioning trailers at our Trochu location for fast, efficient yard turnaround
Whether you need a stalled skid steer lifted off soft ground or a trailer moved so your crew isn't waiting around, one call gets you the right equipment for the job.
Backed by Two Shops in Central Alberta
Our picker truck operates out of our Delburne and Trochu locations, covering roughly 25 miles around each shop. Because it's run by our own licensed technicians, you're not waiting on a separate rental outfit or coordinating between companies. It's one call, one crew, one invoice.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a picker truck and what does it do?
A picker truck is a truck-mounted crane unit that lifts and loads equipment on-site. Ours is Kenworth-based with a removable flat deck, so the same truck can also haul whatever it just picked up, no second vendor needed.
Do you only lift equipment, or can you haul it too?
Both. The flat deck comes off, so the same truck loads equipment and then hauls it to your yard, our shop, or wherever it needs to go next, all in one trip.
What areas do you service with the picker truck?
We run picker truck service within roughly 25 miles of both our Delburne and Trochu shops.
Can the picker truck handle trailer moves, not just equipment?
Yes. At our Trochu location we also use it for trailer shunting, repositioning trailers to keep the yard moving efficiently.
How quickly can you get the picker truck to my site?
Since it's run by our own licensed technicians rather than an outside rental company, we can often turn jobs around fast. Call 403-848-2342 to check current availability.
Do I need a separate repair job booked to use the picker truck, or can I book it on its own?
It works either way. A lot of jobs come up alongside a repair we're already doing, but you can also call just to book a lift or haul on its own.
