Heavy machinery rental — South Shore & Montérégie
Since 1970, Benco has rented compact and heavy machinery to contractors, municipalities and property managers across the South Shore: Schäffer and Kawasaki wheel loaders, excavators, Hitachi and TCM forklifts, snow blowers and Erskine sweepers. Short or long term, with or without an operator — delivered straight to your jobsite from Richelieu.
Rental with or without an operator
Two options to match your needs. Without an operator: bring in your own qualified staff and drive off with the machine. With an operator (through Location Benoit): we supply an experienced operator for precise work — excavation, material handling, snow removal — without tying up your crew.

Loader and machinery rental without operator
Put our loaders and shovels to work for you. In addition to offering a vast choice of machines for rental — from mechanical shovels to wheel loaders and excavators — we can transport your site machinery with our 1-axle, 2-axle or 3-axle flatbed trailers to meet your needs.
We also carry a number of accessories to help you get the most out of your rental machine: hydraulic hammers, hydraulic jaws, vibratory plates, asphalt and concrete planers, magnets, mechanical sweepers, soil conditioners, forks, fork positioners, buckets and tilting blades.
All our rental units, whether wheel loaders or excavators, are subject to a rigorous inspection and maintenance program, so the equipment you receive meets the highest quality standards — greatly reducing the risk of breakdowns, delays and downtime on your projects. Because the operator is at the heart of our concerns, our rental machines are generally equipped with a comfortable driving position with heating, windshield wipers, and sometimes air conditioning and radio. To meet new environmental standards, we also offer organic oil options.
Buy or rent a loader: which is better?
It's not every day you need an excavator, backhoe or wheel loader. If such equipment isn't useful for every job, buying can be very costly and unproductive — in that situation, renting rather than buying is often the smarter choice. And if you'd rather not operate the machine yourself, our rental service with certified operator might be better suited to your needs.

What is the minimum rental period?
We offer daily, weekly and monthly rentals, as well as long-term rentals (seasonal or over several months) through Location Benoit. For a jobsite running more than 6 months, a long-term rental is usually more cost-effective than repeated short-term rentals — a single supplier, maintenance included and guaranteed equipment availability.
Do you rent with or without an operator?
Both. Renting without an operator suits contractors who have their own qualified staff. Renting with an operator (provided by Location Benoit) is ideal when you need precise work without tying up your crew — excavation, material handling, snow removal — with an experienced operator who knows the machine inside out.
Do you deliver the equipment to the jobsite?
Yes. Our Richelieu yard (2252 Rang de la Savane) serves the entire South Shore and Montérégie. We deliver loaders, excavators, forklifts and snow equipment straight to your jobsite. Lead time and delivery fees depend on the area — request a quote and we'll confirm within 24 hours.
What types of equipment can I rent?
Schäffer and Kawasaki wheel loaders, excavators and mini excavators (with or without an operator), Hitachi and TCM forklifts, sidewalk snow blowers, Erskine sweepers, plus attachments (buckets, forks, augers, blades). Check out our rental inventory in stock in Richelieu.
Rent or buy: how do I decide?
If the equipment runs a lot of hours per year or you have recurring contracts over several years, buying pays off (financing available). For a one-off need, a seasonal job or a contract that isn't confirmed yet, renting avoids tying up capital, storage and maintenance. Many of our clients combine both.
How much does it cost to rent a machine?
The rate depends on the machine, the duration (day, week, month or season) and delivery to your area. The longer the rental, the lower the daily rate. Rental with an operator includes the operator's wage. Best approach: request a quote with your need — machine type, duration and city — and we confirm a firm price within 24 hours, no surprises.
Do I need a permit or licence to rent equipment?
To rent and use a machine on your own property or a private jobsite that isn't CCQ-regulated, no government permit is required — you simply need to operate it safely (your responsibility under CNESST). On a CCQ-regulated construction site, the operator must hold a valid CCQ competency card; that's exactly why we offer rental with a qualified operator through Location Benoit for those jobs. Machines are hauled by trailer, so no special driver's licence is needed for transport.
What size of machine should I choose for my project?
It comes down to site access and the work. For residential landscaping or tight access (backyards, between two houses), a 1.5 to 3-tonne mini excavator fits almost anywhere. For foundations, drainage or medium earthwork, aim for 5 to 8 tonnes. For hauling fill or heavy material handling, a Schäffer wheel loader is the right tool. Not sure? Describe your jobsite and we'll point you to the right machine — neither too small nor oversized.
