This content reflects a period in Kristian Electric’s history when we were an authorized Demag dealer and warranty depot. Although that partnership ended in October 2025, our expertise didn’t — we continue to service Demag cranes, source parts, and support customers across Canada.
Kristian Electric – Canada’s #1 Demag Sales & Parts Centre
For over 60 years, Kristian Electric Ltd. has been a trusted name in the crane and hoist industry. From our earliest days in 1964 to today, we’ve been proud to support Canadian industry with reliable lifting solutions—and at the heart of that history are the legendary Demag P and DH Series hoists.
These hoists are widely recognized across the material handling world as some of the best ever built. From galvanizing operations to heavy-duty lifting applications, Demag’s reputation for strength, durability, and reliability is unmatched. Many of these iconic machines are still running strong decades later—and Kristian Electric is here to keep them that way.
AtKristian Electric, we’ve been doing this since 1964. Cranes are in our blood. We offer reliable, professional crane repair services across Calgary, Edmonton, and Saskatoon, and we’re proud to be a go-to name for crane sales and repairs in Canada.
Why Kristian Electric?
As Canada’s #1 Demag parts centre, Kristian Electric offers unmatched expertise and support for both new and legacy equipment:
Vast Inventory: New, used, and refurbished Demag parts and hoists, including hard-to-find legacy P-Series and DH models.
Refurbished-as-New Solutions: Swap in foot-mounted hoists while keeping your existing trolley and controls—like our recent DH316 with F10 rebuild.
Fast Delivery: Our deep inventory and sourcing capability mean we can often get you what you need faster than anyone else in Canada.
Expertise You Can Trust: With six decades of service and technical know-how, our technicians know Demag inside and out.
The Power of the Demag DH Series
The Demag DH wire rope hoist remains a benchmark for lifting performance. Known for versatility and reliability, the DH lineup covers everything from standard lifting applications to specialized stationary setups.
In 2024, the DH family expanded with the DH400 model, covering 1–10 tons. Combined with the DH600, DH1000, and DH2000, Demag now offers a full lifting range up to 100 tons—ensuring no job is out of reach.
Keeping Industry Moving Forward
At Kristian Electric, our mission is simple: to keep your operations running. Whether you need a rare part, a full refurbishment, or a brand-new hoist, we are Canada’s one-stop source for Demag service, and parts.
