FROM HUMBLE local BEGININGS…to global markets
There’s Pride
for Our History
With humble beginnings, emerged what has now become, a global player in the HVAC industry.
Our new “top gun” boom design replaces side boom design. This offers greatly improved mobility of the boom for increased operational efficiencies.
We standardize builds for optimal production to meet market demands and transitioned from roots blowers to the Robushi product line.
The Eco tank design, lighter than the previous truck designs to offer greater fuel-economy and on site performance.
New tank improves weight distribution. Cyclone v3 design increases efficiencies. A curved tank floor improves load dumping.
New eco-lite tank, now 4000lbs lighter. New boom design replaces “top gun”. New rear door locking design.
TGHL acquires a new production facility in Red Deer AB, Canada. This move, dramatically scales production to meet market demand.
