FARM-RAISED. FIELD-PROVEN
OUR STORY
WHERE IT ALL STARTED
BearClaw Equipment was founded by Elwin Bearinger and his father Mervin — a father-son team who grew up on the farm and understood what breaks first.
They saw firsthand what the trailers and processors on the market couldn't handle; low-clearance bank barns that no bale shredder could navigate; dump trailers that fell apart under real loads; hydraulic systems that spent more time leaking than lifting.
So they started engineering their own solutions — not for a product line, but for their own farm.
BORN IN THE BARN
The BearClaw Bale Processor came first, designed specifically for the narrow, low-ceiling bank barns found across Ontario and the northeastern U.S.
Its all-wheel drive and steering technology proved that maneuverability and power didn't have to be a trade-off. People noticed. Demand followed.
From there, the challenges of debris hauling pushed BearClaw into construction trailers. Design improvements, material upgrades, and a growing list of patented technologies turned what started as a better dump trailer into a full product line engineered for the toughest conditions in construction and agriculture.

GROWTH & FACILITY
FROM FARM SHED TO 30,000 SQUARE FEET
By 2021, BearClaw had outgrown the crowded farm shop where it all began. The company moved into a purpose-built 30,000 sq. ft. manufacturing facility in Moorefield, Ontario — a space designed for higher production volume, tighter quality control, and the room to keep developing new products.
The steel is cut, welded, assembled, painted, and tested under one roof by a team that understands what these machines face in the field. There's no outsourced assembly line. No overseas fabrication. Just Canadian-built equipment made by people who stand behind it. Every BearClaw trailer and shredder is manufactured right here.
