The people who keep you going.
When you pick a machine, you're really picking who picks up the phone when it stops. We've been that call for operators across Southern Alberta since 2017.
We know what a down machine costs you. We've been the ones fixing it.
Foothills started in May 2017 with a heavy equipment mechanic who opened his first shop. The work grew one breakdown at a time. Today it's 120+ people with shops in Calgary and Lethbridge, and we still fix heavy equipment every day.
All those years on the repair side taught us something most dealers never see. The machine is rarely the thing that hurts a contractor. The waiting is. Waiting on a tech. Waiting on a part. Being the small account that gets looked at next week, while the crew stands around and the client asks why the job is behind.
So when we became an authorized dealer in 2025, we built it the other way round. Most dealers are a sales counter with a service department added on. We're a service business that started putting machines to work for our clients. That's why the machines we put to work for you come backed by real shops, real mechanics and a guarantee with hours on it.
Keeping you going, with numbers on it.
A tech on your site within 24 hours.
Our machines come with the Uptime Guarantee™*. Call us and a tech is on your site within 24 hours. If the repair isn't done within 72 hours, you get a loaner so the work keeps going.
Parts that don't leave you parked.
83% of parts orders are filled within 24 hours out of XCMG's Edmonton warehouse, a few hours up the highway. The common parts sit on our own shelf, and we carry XCMG, Cummins and Kubota parts lines.
Real mechanics behind every machine.
Our shops in Calgary and Lethbridge fix heavy equipment every day, and our mobile repair covers Southern Alberta. Our lead equipment tech spent 12 years at a major brand dealer. Across our service shops, clients rate us 4.8 out of 5 on Google.
An advisor, not a sales pitch.
You're running the whole business: bidding, operating, chasing invoices, fixing things at seven at night. Picking a machine is one more big decision on top of all that. Our job is to make it an easy one.
We start with the job, not the machine.
Tell us what you dig, push, lift or clear, and what's coming next season. We'll help you land on the right fit.
The demo comes to you.
Compact machines come to your job site for a free demo. No deposit, no complicated rental agreement, just a simple liability agreement signed when the machine arrives. For bigger machines, book a time to run one.
The payment fits the season.
0% financing for up to 36 months on new 2025 and 2026 machines, OAC, so you can plan around the work.
We don't disappear after the sale.
The company that puts the machine on your job is the same one that fixes it, so keeping it going is on us.
A manufacturer the world already runs.
XCMG is the world's #3 equipment manufacturer, and it builds with names our mechanics already know inside out, like Cummins and Kubota engines. The same work as the major brands, for up to 30% less.
