Cooper Equipment Rentals debuts golden Skyjack telehandlers in support of local charities

A partnership rooted in Canadian values

The new partnership with Skyjack highlights the power of Canadian businesses coming together — two companies proud of their heritage and deeply committed to supporting the communities they serve. 

“When we considered who we wanted to collaborate with for this Cooper Cares initiative, Skyjack immediately came to mind,” said Antonia Edwards, director of marketing, Cooper Equipment Rentals. “Working with like-minded Canadian companies that share our values means a great deal to us. Skyjack embraced the opportunity and went above and beyond — helping us customize the machines and ship directly from their manufacturing facility in Mexico to our branches.”

“It was clear from the start that two great Canadian companies were meant to bring this idea to life,” comments Malcolm Early, vice president of Marketing, Skyjack. “Choosing the perfect colour match for the equipment sparked real excitement at Skyjack, especially among our production team, who were eager and proud to support this project. We wish Cooper success with this year-long fundraising campaign and look forward to following along on social media.” 

A new phase for the golden equipment campaign

The transition to Skyjack equipment marks the next chapter for the Golden Equipment Campaign and introduces a refreshed fleet for 2026.

“We selected the 5K telehandler because its design and reliability make it one of the most requested pieces of equipment in our fleet. Its high visibility makes it the perfect ambassador for this campaign, helping us boost awareness and support our fundraising goal of $150,000 in 2026,” said Rod Lentino, director of rental equipment, Cooper Equipment Rentals. 

Cooper is also launching a national #SpotCooperGold challenge, encouraging Canadians to share photos of the golden equipment for a chance to win prizes. Check out their social media channels for more information.
