IPAF North America Forms Exciting Alliance with the Canadian Rental Association

IPAF North America is proud to announce a new alliance with the Canadian Rental Association (CRA)—a significant step in expanding our shared commitment to safety, innovation, and professional development in the rental and powered access industries.

This strategic collaboration brings together two influential organisations to support rental companies, equipment suppliers, and safety professionals across North America. By joining forces, IPAF and the CRA aim to drive greater awareness of safe mobile elevating work platform (MEWP) operation and enhance training and compliance initiatives throughout the Canadian market.

“CRA members play a critical role in the safe deployment and maintenance of powered access equipment,” said Randy Marzicola, Vice President, IPAF North America. “This partnership creates valuable opportunities to promote consistent safety standards, grow our member network, and connect more companies with the resources they need to thrive.”

IPAF will work closely with the CRA on outreach, educational initiatives, and cross-promotional opportunities—offering members exclusive insights into IPAF’s globally recognised training, technical guidance, and safety campaigns.

This new alliance reinforces IPAF’s mission to elevate safety and professionalism in the powered access industry. It also supports the CRA’s goal of empowering rental businesses with practical tools and partnerships that help them succeed.

We’re excited for what’s ahead and look forward to engaging with CRA members across upcoming events and initiatives.
