Shift designs and builds the highest quality equipment including prototypes and one-off bespoke devices, enabling innovative businesses to fulfill their visions.

Shift People
Quintin Webb, P. Eng. – Owner and Founder
Quintin founded Shift Equipment in 2017 after he recognized an acute lack of high-quality custom-engineered equipment providers in his home province of Alberta. He got his start in mechanical design by building and fixing equipment as child on a family farm, where he developed an early knack for design and innovative thinking. In 2003 he began work as a Heavy Equipment Technician becoming a skilled mechanic holding both on-road and off-road Red Seal Journeyman tickets. He holds a BSc in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Alberta (2012), and most recently Quintin worked as a design engineer for LJ Welding Automation in Edmonton, AB, building custom welding machinery for clients all over the world. Through his hands-on career, Quintin fostered a drive to create the top quality equipment with the goal of improving the efficiency, safety, and environmental stewardship of Canada’s economy.
