We believe in the power
of an electrified
sustainable future.
Shire was founded by Toon Mertens, inspired by his heritage and a passion for creating reliable, efficient and sustainable machinery. Raised in Steenhuffel, Belgium—renowned for its draft horses—Toon comes from a proud lineage of farmers who relied on these powerful animals for agricultural work. Honoring this legacy, the name "Shire" pays tribute to the English draft horse breed, celebrated for its strength, endurance, and dependability—qualities reflected in our electric tow tractors.
At Shire, we combine these timeless values with cutting-edge technology to design innovative, eco-friendly equipment. Our electric tow tractors deliver the power and reliability you need while supporting sustainability and operational efficiency. We are dedicated to providing solutions that drive your success while helping to create a greener future.
