UgoWork signs pan-Canadian distribution agreement with Liftow
UgoWork®, a Canadian energy solutions provider specialized in the material handling industry, has announced that it has signed a pan-Canadian distribution agreement with Liftow Limited, Canada’s partner for end-to-end Toyota forklift and material handling solutions since 1960. In an effort to quickly expand Liftow’s offering, its sales and technical teams in Ontario and Québec have already been trained on UgoWork products.
Under the official agreement, Liftow will offer UgoWork’s complete line of lithium-ion batteries for electric forklifts. In addition, Liftow customers will be able to take advantage of UgoWork’s flexible pay-for-performance consumption model.
Also known as Energy as a Service, this industry-first consumption model offers an array of benefits, including minimized upfront costs and capital expenditures. Companies only pay for what they use, which contributes to healthier bottom lines. Furthermore, UgoWork’s team of battery experts works alongside customers to proactively monitor their lithium-ion batteries’ state of health to optimize fleet uptimes as well as drastically reduce unplanned maintenance and replacement costs.

“We are thrilled that Liftow, as a reputable Canadian leader, recognizes the tremendous value UgoWork can bring to material handling teams—in terms of productivity, capacity and cost-savings,” said Philippe Beauchamp, President and CEO at UgoWork. “Thanks to this agreement, companies throughout Canada can speed up their material handling throughput without breaking the bank. We look forward to working alongside the Liftow teams as they continue to expand their service offering with innovative new technologies and operational approaches that are adapted to today’s customer challenges.”
UgoWork convened in late 2022 in Toronto, where key representatives from Liftow Limited including Amanda Coulson, General Sales Manager – Central Division; Sean McBurney, Equipment Sales Manager – Central Division; and Red Andal, Marketing and Customer Experience Manager; to formalize the important distribution agreement.
