MISSISSAUGA, Ont. — West Van has acquired all of the shares of Train Trailer Rentals from PLM trailers. Officials say the amalgamation of the two operations will create one of the largest trailer rental providers in Canada.

I am confident the two operations will blend seamlessly and give us the ability to better serve out clients.”

Wayne Rapelje, general manager of Train Trailer Rentals, says he was delighted with the West Van acquisition. “It will afford new and exciting opportunities to broaden our service offerings and market reach with a company that shares our values and passion for customer service,” he said.

West Van and Train Trailer Rentals provide transport trailer rentals including dry vans, refrigerated trailers, container chassis, and a full line of specialized trailers including flat beds, drop decks, low boys and removal goose necks, and operates full service repair shops with mobile service in Mississauga and Calgary.
