Equipment rental in Boucherville — South Shore industrial park

It depends on the application. For indoor warehouse handling (Couche-Tard, RONA, logistics subcontractors), 3- or 4-wheel Hitachi, TCM or Transmanut forklifts with a 1,500-3,000 kg capacity are the most common. For the outdoor yard or loading and unloading trucks at the dock, we recommend our all-terrain forklifts — wider tires, reinforced frame. The right choice also depends on the type of pallets handled and the lift height required (single, double or triple masts).

Yes. For jobs that need to start before 7 a.m. or run past 5 p.m., we schedule delivery ahead of time — often the evening before or very early in the morning. This is common for construction contractors who want to start at dawn or for snow removal crews during the winter season. We leave the equipment secured on site with your coordination; there is no extra charge as long as delivery stays within our usual windows (before 10 p.m., after 5 a.m.).

Yes, and it is actually very common with us. Several South Shore distribution centres rent their forklifts long-term (6 months to 3 years) rather than buying them. The benefits: maintenance included, the option to upgrade the model as the operation evolves, and no capital tied up. For contracts longer than 12 months, we offer significant volume discounts. Our sister company Location Benoit (450-658-2433) handles these long-term agreements.

The City has its own fleet (snow trucks, heavy snowplows), but the subcontractors handling commercial parking lots and condo complexes rent or buy from us. For mid-size surfaces (300 to 1,500 m²), compact Schäffer loaders with a snow blade or bucket work well. For large surfaces (Mortagne, Promenades Boucherville), we recommend instead 6-8 tonne wheel loaders with a 10-foot blade and an integrated salt spreader.

Yes — it is actually one of our most requested products in Boucherville. The Erskine 72- or 84-inch pick-up sweepers mount on our Schäffer loaders and clean a typical industrial parking lot (5,000-10,000 m²) in 2-3 hours. Push sweepers (without a hopper) cost less but require a blowing pass afterward. For spring sweeping of salt and abrasives, the pick-up sweeper is more efficient in a single pass.
