For dealers and importers who've outgrown the lot
The lot is full and the next container has landed.
Overflow and staging for equipment dealers, OEM distributors and importers — crated and skidded machinery, parts and attachments indoors on a heavy floor, instead of another season sitting out in the weather.
Does Rolls Right store equipment and machinery?
Yes. Rolls Right stores crated, skidded and palletised machinery, parts, attachments and components for equipment dealers, OEM distributors and importers, in Calgary and Vancouver. The Calgary warehouse at 4770 68 Avenue SE has 12 dock doors, a 47 by 35 foot column grid and 28-foot clear height, which suits dense and heavy product. Calgary is dock-loaded and has no drive-in door, so machinery that must be driven in at grade goes to the Vancouver facility at 3200 E Broadway, which has four grade-level doors alongside its twenty docks. Rolls Right also runs flat deck and power-tailgate equipment for delivery to sites without a dock.

The problem
What usually goes wrong.
Dealers outgrow their lots. It happens on a predictable cycle — the pre-season order lands, the yard is already full, and machines that should be presentable to a buyer spend a winter outdoors instead. Importers have the same problem in a different shape: containers arrive on the sailing schedule, not on the schedule the dealer network can absorb them.
Indoors on a heavy floor, in a wide-bay building, is worth more than it costs on this product. It is not the storage rate that hurts, it is corrosion, weather damage, and a machine that has to be cleaned up before it can be sold.
Be straightforward with us about the form it arrives in — crated, skidded, on its own wheels — because that decides the building rather than the price.
Capabilities
What we run for equipment
- Crated, skidded and palletised machinery, held indoors on a heavy floor
- Parts, attachments and components, down to pallet level
- 47 ft × 35 ft column grid, so wide bays and room for awkward lengths
- Container de-stuffing and drayage on our own chassis, port and rail ramps
- Rolling stock at the Vancouver building, which has four grade-level doors
- Flat deck and power-tailgate delivery to dealers and sites with no dock
- Short-term overflow through a pre-season peak, on terms measured in months
What we'll actually claim
No borrowed credibility.
Excavators and forklifts are already sitting in Rolls Right buildings, which is the reason this page exists — but that business is on the Vancouver floor, and it would be misleading to point at it as Calgary proof. For Calgary the honest argument is the spec: 28-foot clear, a 47 by 35 column grid and a floor built for dense product. Walk it before you commit.
Before you call
Where we're not the right fit.
One hard constraint, and it decides which building you get. Calgary is dock-loaded and has no drive-in door, so anything that has to be driven in on its own wheels can't go there — that work goes to Vancouver, which has four grade-level doors. Crated, skidded and palletised machinery is no problem at either. Tell us how it arrives before we quote, because getting this wrong costs you a wasted lowbed.

FAQ
Questions we get asked
Can I drive a machine straight into the building?
In Vancouver yes — four grade-level doors alongside twenty docks. In Calgary no: it's dock-loaded with no drive-in, so rolling stock has to go to Vancouver. Crated, skidded and palletised machinery loads through a Calgary dock without any trouble. Tell us how it arrives and we'll route it to the right building first time.
We only need it through the pre-season peak. Is that worth your while?
Yes, and it's a normal pattern here. Short-term overflow on terms measured in months is exactly what transient space is for. A dealer who fills space for four months every year is good business, not an inconvenience.
Can you handle the container end for imported machines?
Yes. We pull the container on our own chassis from the port or the rail ramps, strip it, and put the product away. That keeps the box moving back before demurrage starts, and it's one company for the drayage, the de-stuff and the storage.
Can you deliver to our dealer network or to a customer site?
Yes. We run flat deck and power-tailgate equipment on our own fleet, which covers most delivery points including sites with no dock. Tell us the destination constraints and we'll confirm the equipment before quoting.
What about fluids, batteries or anything classed as dangerous goods?
Case by case. Send the class and the SDS and you'll get a straight yes or no. Machinery often travels drained, and whether it does changes the answer, so it's worth telling us up front.
