Last week I had the opportunity to meet with Will Wilson, Alberta Branch Manager of Cubix Limited here in Calgary.   Among other pieces of industrial equipment, Cubix is now carrying small electric utility vehicles crafted in Canada by Westward Industries. These Zero-Emission Lithium-ion Industrial vehicles are perfect for a multitude of applications. They are street legal on most roads in major cities including suburban streets.  (Speed limits must be 40 kph or less) The on-board battery management system keeps the battery healthy long term and these little EUV’s function quite ..read more

Lately on my Social Media platforms I am seeing more pictures and stories of equipment vendors setting up at trade shows.   This is great news as it indicates the market is opening up after COVID and trade shows are once again, a place to exhibit your service and products to a wide audience. To learn more about the trend of returning to trade shows, I reached out to Tracey Moore at Exhibit Studios to ask her thoughts about where this market is going.  “Trade shows are back and everybody is excited to return to in-person events. A lot has happened in the last two years and our c ..read more

As a means to demonstrate the unique equipment we can lease, I like to occasionally showcase an equipment vendor we work with. Brad McIntosh is the owner of Lone Worker Safety Solutions, a local Calgary company.                                  Our relationship started many years back when Brad had a contract for a major oil and gas company that wanted their oil field service technicians to be safe while doing maintenance at drill ..read more

CBC Radio recently posted an article about robots in the workplace, and it made me ponder my perception of robotics a little bit.  They are not necessarily the andriod-like creatures of boundary-pushing science (and science fiction ), nor an invasive replacement for human jobs.  They are a tool.  A tool to help us do our jobs better, faster and with less risk.  And, like so many tools, they can be leased. So, I thought I would share a couple of the upsides of leasing a robot. For example, the robot is a one-time expense you can lease over time.  Whereas an employee is ..read more

We have seen a recent uptick in businesses looking to lease fitness equipment.  And they aren’t gyms!  Why you ask?  Because they have extra space and their staff have indicated that would like an on-site workout room.   I would like to commend these everyday companies as they promote the value of regular exercise.   Not only for the physical benefits, but also for stress relief, better sleep and a calmer approach to problems.   They understand the benefits of getting up from that desk and moving your body! If this is something you would like to con ..read more

It’s not very often I get to actually operate a piece of machinery that we have leased to a client.  But this week was special.  Here I am loading chocolate bars into a “packaging machine” we leased to the chocolate factory owned by Master Chocolat!  Such fun. There must be a business out there somewhere that needs to lease a Ferrari??!! The post Deb at Master Chocolat appeared first on Priority Leasing ..read more

The question I most often get asked about leasing, is: “What’s the Rate?” Unlike a traditional bank loan, there is no set answer to this question. In this video, I talk about six main criteria that are used to determine the lease rate. If you want to talk more about lease rates — or anything related to leasing — please feel free to give me a call at 403.216.1930. I would love to chat with you. The post What’s the Rate? appeared first on Priority Leasing ..read more

No, a Molok isn’t akin to an ancient, hard shelled creature from the deep.  Moloks are a very modern, deep collection, waste management solution available to large property owners, condo associations, retail centres and many other areas where waste management is an issue.    There are many benefits to managing waste and recycling with Moloks including saving space,  minimal odors and the ability to hold much more garbage, compost and recycling than traditional bins. Priority Leasing Inc. is able to provide lease financing for Moloks to corporate building owners, cond ..read more

Surgical quality.  Right here in Southern Alberta! A very good friend of mine, and fellow Rotarian, has allowed Priority Leasing Inc. to be a distributor of re-usable, medical quality masks with N95+ disposable filters.   Actually, you could fit it with any filter material you like using the provided template.  You can even get reusable, washable filters, but the disposable n95 filters are very inexpensive … and you would need a tiny weeny little washing machine for these 2” x 2” European made squares. This partnership came about because of our purchase of Dental Leasing ..read more
