The Rapicon Team. Red chooses only those with heart and passion to join the team; "They’re the force of the enterprise and I am very proud of them". Our 15 or so employees, embody a range of skills; being qualified welders, mechanics and electro-mechanics. New members to the team are trained in-house to begin with, at Rapicon's Ontario location, where cranes are carefully prepared and tailored to a project's requirements. Training is also undertaken in France, using Potain's "Service after Sales" training program. Customers have repeatedly commented on the care taken, quality of work produced and professionalism of our team. We are proud to currently have team members whose length of service has been over 25 years.
