Equipment rental in Candiac — Roussillon South Shore

For a standard in-ground pool (16x32 feet, 6 feet deep), a 5-6 tonne Hitachi mini-excavator is the typical choice. It has the power for digging and the reach to move soil into a truck parked in the front yard. For larger pools or ones with an integrated spa, step up to 8-10 tonnes. The soil in Candiac is generally clay at 2-3 feet deep — usually no hard rock, so the work goes quickly. Plan on 1-2 rental days for the excavation alone.

Yes for jobs already underway (continuing work) or for emergencies. Standard service is Mon-Fri, but we adapt. For a Saturday morning delivery, confirm it before 2 p.m. on Friday so we can plan the route. Sundays: on request, with a reasonable surcharge. Many residential contractors in Candiac work Saturdays in peak season, so it's a regular need. For homeowners renting for a weekend of personal work, we deliver Friday afternoon and pick up Monday morning without billing the weekend.

The infrastructure sites in the Sainte-Catherine/Candiac sector are active in preparation for the REM. You'll see a lot of 6-8 tonne wheel loaders for hauling fill, 5-10 tonne mini-excavators for utility trenches, and rough-terrain forklifts for construction materials. Subcontractors often prefer to rent rather than buy for these fixed-duration sites. Logistics are complicated by road detours — we plan deliveries in advance.

Yes, we have several agricultural clients in that corridor. The Schäffer 4670 and 6680T loaders are the preferred models for large market-garden and field-crop farms (corn, soybeans). For dairy farms, the compact articulated loaders (2428, 2430) handle feeding and free-stall barn cleaning. We also deliver specific Erskine attachments: manure forks, grain buckets, grading blades for farm roads. Delivery distance: 25-35 minutes from Richelieu.

Very much in demand in April-May on the South Shore, when municipalities and condominiums want to clear the salt and abrasives built up over winter. An Erskine 72 or 84 inch pick-up sweeper on a Schäffer 2430 SLT loader can clean a typical residential parking lot in 2-3 hours. For larger surfaces (local shopping centres, condo complexes), step up to 84 inches on a Schäffer 3650 SLT. Book 2-3 weeks ahead for April — it's our peak season for this product.
