From Single Unit To Fleet
Established in 2012 by Stan Maendel, Jerrold Wollman, and Ken Hofer, Vac-It Inc. has evolved from a humble beginning with a single axle dumpster truck and vacuum to a robust fleet of industrial roof vacuums and dump trucks.
With specialized dump trucks featuring cranes for efficient hoisting up to four stories, we handle over 16,000 squares of vacuuming annually. Proud users of Hurricane Vacuums by Industrial Vacuum — the Hurricane 600, 755, and 828 models.
From a single unit operation in Winnipeg, we've expanded to three locations — Edmonton and Saskatoon — growing our coverage across Western Canada, from the prairies to North Western Ontario.
The People Behind The Work
Our founders are usually too busy running jobs across Western Canada for a photo shoot — so we found some suitable stand-ins.
Stan keeps operations running smoothly and is your first call when a job needs figuring out. With a hands-on approach to every project, he ensures ballast removal is done efficiently and right the first time. Outside of work, Stan is a family man who stays active at the gym and sneaks in a round of golf with his wife at the in-laws cottage whenever the schedule allows.
Jerrold is our setup king — always scouting the best positioning for every job. Each winter, he meticulously takes apart and reassembles every vacuum in the fleet so it's trouble-free for the upcoming season. He plays a key role in project management from start to finish. A father of four, Jerrold loves spending time at home with his family and can often be found helping his wife in the garden or out fishing when the weekend allows.
Ken is a driving force behind keeping jobs on schedule, always finding ways to eliminate downtime and keep things moving. He is also a capable mechanic when equipment needs attention. A proud father of three, Ken is a trained massage therapist with a side hustle helping people recover from their aches and pains.
