The UHE Story
In 1978 Universal Handling Equipment was sold to the Gerrard family who recognized the company’s untapped potential. The organization’s focus was expanded and a more complete line of waste and disposal equipment was introduced to accommodate the growing demands of an expanding industry. Today, the Universal Handling Equipment group of companies consists of, Universal Handling Equipment Company (Red Deer) Limited (Alberta Operations), Universal Handling Equipment Company (Owosso) LLC (Michigan Operations), Universal Parts Plus (Ontario parts and service operation), Weld-O-Matic Machines Company Limited (Hydraulic cylinder and spot welder manufacturer), and Goldec-Hamms Manufacturing Ltd (an Alberta tank manufacturer).
The group of companies employs a dynamic team who are constantly seeking ways to innovate within the industry and lead the company into new developmental opportunities. Our goal is to be the waste & recycling industry's premier partner acknowledged for our creativity, design, engineering, and manufacturing expertise, and most of all, for our dedication to satisfying our customers' needs beyond their expectation.
