Breaking Ground: DLE Shop Expansion in Grande Prairie
A new shop expansion means faster service, bigger capabilities, and year-round support for northern Alberta farmers.
If you farm in Grande Prairie, you know how essential dependable equipment is. When machinery is down during seeding or harvest, every lost hour matters. That’s why DLE is investing in a new 5400 sq. ft. shop expansion, scheduled to open late fall 2025—to keep local agricultural operations moving without costly downtime.
This new facility isn’t just about more space. It’s about more capacity to serve you, when you need it most.
Highlights
- A new 5400 sq. ft. shop expansion
- Scheduled to open late fall 2025
- Three new bays for faster turnaround.
- An overhead crane will allow service on larger, heavier ag equipment.
- An indoor wash bay means year-round cleaning and maintenance.
Three New Bays = Faster Turnaround
Nobody likes waiting in line when equipment needs service. With three additional bays, the Grande Prairie team will be able to handle more tractors, combines, and heavy equipment at once.
What does that mean for farmers?
- Less waiting time for critical repairs.
- Quicker preventive maintenance to avoid breakdowns.
- More flexible scheduling during peak seasons.
Heavy Machinery? No Problem.
Sometimes equipment is just too big or too heavy for a standard shop setup. That’s where DLE’s new overhead crane comes in.
This upgrade allows technicians to:
- Safely handle larger ag equipment and components.
- Take on complex repair jobs that would otherwise need to be outsourced.
- Provide more comprehensive in-house service, saving customers both time and money.
Year-Round Service with an Indoor Wash Bay
If you’ve ever tried to clean equipment outdoors in the middle of a Grande Prairie winter, you know it’s no easy task. The new indoor wash bay solves that problem.
Benefits include:
- Year-round cleaning for equipment—no matter the weather.
- Better prep for repairs and maintenance.
- Longer equipment life thanks to regular cleaning.
Strengthening DLE’s Northern Roots
While this expansion is exciting for Grande Prairie, it’s also part of a bigger story: DLE’s ongoing commitment to supporting northern Alberta customers. Farmers in this region face unique challenges—remote locations, tough weather, and short growing seasons.
By investing in more service capacity locally, DLE is making sure the ag community doesn’t just get by—it thrives.
What This Means for You
In short:
- Faster turnaround thanks to new bays.
- Bigger jobs handled in-house with the overhead crane.
- Year-round wash bay access for cleaner, longer-lasting equipment.
Whether you’re running a family farm or managing a larger ag operation, this expansion is built with you in mind—and it will be ready to serve you late fall 2025.
