Downtime is not an option when customers depend on hydraulic breakers every day on the job site. With Epiroc InSite™, MANUQUIP Inc. gained real‑time visibility into its attachment fleet, enabling proactive maintenance, smarter decisions and a higher level of service for customers in Quebec, Canada.
For MANUQUIP Inc., one of Canada’s leading distributors of construction equipment and hydraulic attachments, delivering reliable uptime and professional customer support is non-negotiable. As their hydraulic breaker business has grown rapidly over the past years, so has the need for smarter tools to manage fleet visibility, service planning, and customer interactions.
To meet these demands, MANUQUIP Inc. chose to implement Epiroc InSiteTM, a digital platform for connected attachments - transforming the way they track equipment, support customers, and collaborate with Epiroc.
From spreadsheets to real-time insight
Before adopting Epiroc InSiteTM, much of MANUQUIP’s attachment tracking was done manually. Working hours, service intervals, and equipment locations were often handled through spreadsheets or direct customer contact, making it difficult to be proactive.
The transition began around 2019–2020, as MANUQUIP Inc. was among the first companies in Québec to adopt HATCON™, advanced tracking technology for hydraulic attachments. Today, all new attachments are delivered with tracking devices included; not only for Epiroc products, but also for other brands supported by MANUQUIP Inc.
Proactive maintenance and smarter business decisions
After implementing Epiroc InSiteTM, MANUQUIP Inc. was able to shift from reactive to proactive support by monitoring working hours and usage patterns. The system allows the team to plan service activities before any failures occur which helps customers avoid costly downtime.
The platform also supports internal decision-making. The fleet inventory overview helps MANUQUIP Inc. understand which breaker models are most used, how intensively they operate, and which units to prioritize in stock.
Another benefit with Epiroc InSiteTM is the centralized view of the attachment fleet, combining usage data, geolocation, and service-related information in one system.
The real-time mapping, allows technicians and support staff to locate attachments quickly and resolve issues directly on site.
Epiroc InSiteTM is more than a tool, it’s a key part of the collaboration between MANUQUIP Inc. and Epiroc. The ongoing dialogue around features, training, and future development has strengthened the relationship on both operational and strategic levels.
MANUQUIP Inc. and Epiroc are currently exploring how to further use the system for geofencing, service alerts, and digital service records to strengthen the partnership and create a customer experience for the future.
