Artic Truck Parts & Service

What Artic Truck Parts & Service does

Artic Truck Parts & Service is a privately held Canadian heavy-duty commercial vehicle parts distributor and repair operator headquartered in Calgary, Alberta, and owned by Crane Carrier Canada since 1993. The company operates four retail locations across Alberta (Calgary, Edmonton, Red Deer, Edson), with two full-service repair facilities in Edmonton and Calgary that are CVIP-certified and equipped with in-house machine shops, driveline rebuilding, Dyno-tested transmission work, and U-bolt bending capabilities. Its 40-strong staff of industry experts and service technicians supports both walk-in counter sales and technical advisory work.

The company's product portfolio spans new and remanufactured drivetrain, brake, suspension, steering, electrical, engine, PTO/hydraulic, and off-highway components for Class 4–8 heavy-duty, mid-range, and off-highway commercial vehicles, stocking 150,000+ SKUs and drawing on a 162-member North American sourcing network for hard-to-find parts. Proprietary offerings include the Armada U-Joint line (Dana Spicer-compatible, 12-month/100,000-mile warranty) and Wilson electric starters and alternators. The business sells and services leading brand components from Eaton/Fuller, Rockwell, Spicer, Dana, ZF, and Allison, addressing downtime-critical fleet maintenance for end users in oil and gas, forestry, mining, construction, and transit, while also supplying dealers, distributors, and independent repair shops.

Revenue is generated through hardware sales (new and remanufactured parts) and professional services (heavy-duty repair and rebuilds), with quote-based pricing, online ordering for credit-account customers, and prepaid freight into Alberta, Saskatchewan, and British Columbia. The company's stated strategic intent is to expand existing operations, open additional parts and service facilities, and grow value-added, mid-range, and industrial product offerings within Western Canada.
