The name Harris first appeared on mobile equipment in 1963 when Thomas Harris, a mining engineer, anticipated the coming need for protective operator enclosures in many agricultural and industrial applications. He formed Harris Engineering, with an original product line of cabs for front-end loaders, road graders and farm tractors.

The Harris product line has grown considerably since then and now includes cabs for all makes and models of fork lift trucks as well as custom-engineered cabs and enclosures.

Contributing to the company’s growth, a joint venture in 1982 between Thomas Harris Engineering and Stolper Industries (a leading cab manufacturer from Wisconsin, U.S.A.) was formed to produce cabs and Roll Over Protective Structures for a major manufacturer of earth-moving equipment.

Our 34,000 square-foot factory in Brampton, Ontario houses a design engineering facility supported by 3D CAD-CAM and a complete metal-fabrication department equipped with state-of-the-art precision machinery.
