Fleet Upfitting

One Company. Two Divisions. One for Your Vehicle. One for Your Fleet.

Certified Radio is built for the consumer side: car audio, remote starters, dash cams, marine electronics and everything aftermarket for personal vehicles. If you are upgrading your own vehicle, you are in the right place.

But if you are managing a fleet of commercial vehicles, heavy equipment, emergency service units or work trucks at any kind of scale, that requires a different level of expertise, a different kind of partner and a dedicated division built specifically for it.

That division is Certified Commercial and Fleet Services. Same ownership, same commitment to doing the work properly. Built for a completely different scope.

WHAT THE FLEET DIVISION DOES

What Certified Commercial and Fleet Services Handles

The Fleet division specializes in safety technology and vehicle upfitting for commercial operations across Western Canada. The work is different from consumer installation in almost every way: different products, different mandates, different site requirements, different deployment logistics and a much higher cost of getting it wrong.

A fleet manager overseeing equipment across an active oil sands site needs a partner who understands what that site requires, knows which systems meet the applicable safety mandates, can get installers on location rather than requiring heavy equipment to be trucked to a shop and can handle the scale of the operation without disrupting it.

That is the standard the Fleet division operates to.

Core Services

Collision Avoidance and Proximity Warning Systems

Radar-based, camera-based and RFID tag detection systems for heavy equipment and commercial vehicles. Certified Commercial and Fleet Services was one of the first companies in Canada to offer this technology and has been installing and ref ining these systems for years across a wide range of industries and site types.

360-Degree Camera and Monitor Systems

Full-perimeter visibility for heavy equipment operators, commercial vehicles and municipal fleets. Systems are specified to the site environment, including heated camera options for operations where standard cameras would fail.

Vehicle Upfitting

Purpose-built outfitting for emergency vehicles, municipal units, service trucks and commercial equipment. Everything from wiring and electrical to mounting, brackets and custom-fabricated components built to withstand real working conditions in an Alberta climate.

Safety and Emergency Lighting

Warning lighting, emergency lighting and work lighting for commercial, emergency and industrial applications. Specified for the vehicle type, the operating environment and the applicable compliance requirements.

Mobile and On-Site Installation

The Fleet division goes to the vehicle. Rather than requiring heavy equipment or large commercial vehicles to be transported to a shop, their installation team deploys directly to the worksite, the yard or the garage. This is one of the most significant operational advantages they bring: no downtime for transport, no logistics headache, installation done in the working environment.

Repair and Retrofitting

For fleets with existing systems that are underperforming, incorrectly installed or no longer meeting site compliance requirements, the Fleet team also handles assessment, repair and retrofit work.

Who the Fleet Division Works With

Certified Commercial and Fleet Services works with operations across Western Canada in industries where vehicle and equipment safety technology is not optional.

Oil, Gas and Pipeline

Site safety mandates in the energy sector are among the most demanding in any industry. The Fleet division has deep experience with these requirements, knows what specific sites demand and has installed systems on equipment operating in some of the most remote and demanding environments in the country.

Municipalities and First Responders

Municipal fleets, fire departments, transit authorities and emergency services each have their own compliance requirements and operational demands. The Fleet team works with these organizations to specify and install systems that meet those requirements without disrupting operations.

General Fleet and Machinery Operators

For any operation with a fleet that needs safety technology, upfitting or specialized installation, the Fleet division can help. If you are not sure whether your operation falls into one of the above categories, reach out and the team will tell you quickly whether they are the right fit.

WHAT SETS THE FLEET DIVISION APART

Not Just Another Installation Company

There is no shortage of companies that will sell a fleet operator a safety system. There are far fewer that can specify the right system for a specific site, install it properly in the field, account for the applicable mandates before the equipment shows up on site and stand behind the installation when conditions get difficult.

They go to you.

Moving heavy equipment to a shop is expensive, logistically complicated and creates unnecessary downtime. The Fleet division deploys installation teams directly to the worksite, which is how most fleet operators prefer to work and how most major installations in this industry need to happen. This is not common. It is the standard the Fleet division built their operation around.

They know the mandates.

Site safety mandates vary by industry, company and location. A system that meets general safety requirements may not meet what a specific site demands. The Fleet team knows what different sites require and specifies systems accordingly. Showing up with the wrong product is not a minor inconvenience in this industry. It can mean equipment that cannot operate on site.

They build what the environment actually requires.

Standard mounting brackets and off-the-shelf components often do not hold up to the cold, the vibration and the conditions that Alberta heavy equipment operating environments create. The Fleet division fabricates custom brackets and uses components suited to the environment rather than what works in a controlled setting. It is a meaningful difference over the life of the installation.

They have been doing it since before most competitors entered the space.

Certified Commercial and Fleet Services was among the first companies in Canada to install collision avoidance technology on commercial equipment. That early experience shaped how they approach every installation and gives them a depth of knowledge that newer entrants simply have not had time to develop.

THE SHARED FOUNDATION

Same Ownership. Same Standard. Different Scope.

What connects Certified Radio and Certified Commercial and Fleet Services is not just common ownership. It is a shared approach to the work. Proper installation. Quality products. Not cutting corners because a shortcut is available. Standing behind the work when something needs attention.

The consumer side and the commercial side operate differently because they serve very different needs. But both are built on the same foundation that Certified Radio established in Edmonton over 70 years ago.

If you came to this page because you have a work vehicle that you also drive personally, or because your company runs a small fleet alongside a personal vehicle you have had us work on, the Fleet division handles the commercial side and would be glad to hear from you.
