Our base is located at 2252 Rang de la Savane, Richelieu, QC J3L 8C2 — about 40 minutes from Contrecoeur via Routes 133 and 30, heading toward the industrial-port zone.
Local context — Contrecoeur
Contrecoeur is home to one of the largest industrial projects in Quebec: the expansion of the Port of Montreal's container terminal, whose construction began in spring 2026 and will mobilize about 4,000 workers per year until its planned commissioning in 2030. For general contractors, subcontractors in excavation, fencing, temporary services and site development working around this project, demand for compact machinery — mini excavators, loaders, rough-terrain forklifts — is growing fast.
On top of this is Contrecoeur's established industrial fabric: the ArcelorMittal steel complex, the municipal industrial park along Route 132 and the farmland of the plain between Verchères and Sorel-Tracy. Benco serves the area from Richelieu in about 40 minutes via Routes 133 and 30, with delivery within 24h and the option of long-term rental parked directly on your jobsite.

FAQ — equipment rental in Contrecoeur
Real questions from contractors, farms, municipalities and property managers we serve in Contrecoeur — answered directly.
Do you rent equipment to subcontractors on the Contrecoeur port project?
Yes. The terminal expansion project mobilizes dozens of subcontractors — excavation, temporary fencing, access roads, site services — who need compact machinery to support the heavy equipment. We offer weekly or monthly rental with the equipment parked directly on your site, plus a technical service team that travels out from Richelieu. For a project of this scale, long-term rental is usually more cost-effective — ask for a monthly quote.
What is the delivery time to Contrecoeur?
Allow about 40 minutes of transport from our Richelieu base via Routes 133 and 30. In practice: order confirmed before noon, delivered the next morning on your jobsite; for emergencies, we can often deliver the same day in the afternoon. For long-term rentals on jobsites in the industrial-port zone, delivery and pickup are included in the monthly contract.
Do you have rough-terrain forklifts for industrial yards?
Yes — that's exactly the typical need in Contrecoeur. The yards of the industrial-park businesses and the port project's laydown areas are gravel or dirt: you need rough-terrain forklifts with lugged tires, not warehouse units. Our rough-terrain Transmanut and Hitachi forklifts lift from 2,500 to 5,000 kg and go anywhere. For indoor handling inside plants, we also carry classic cushion-tire Hitachi and TCM forklifts.
Do you also serve the farms between Verchères and Contrecoeur?
Regularly. The farmland between Verchères, Contrecoeur and Saint-Antoine-sur-Richelieu is in field crops: our Schäffer loaders are used to handle seed big bags, manure and building upkeep. Erskine hydraulic augers are in demand in spring for fencing. Daily or weekly rental, with hauling available if you have your own flatbed.
Do you handle snow removal for industrial sites in Contrecoeur?
We don't do the snow removal ourselves, but we equip the contractors who do: loaders with 8- to 12-foot push blades for large industrial yards, sidewalk snow blowers for pedestrian access, Erskine salt spreaders. Contrecoeur's industrial sites (ArcelorMittal, industrial park, future terminal) require equipment that's reliable in extreme cold — our machines are winter-ready with assisted starting and cold-adapted hydraulics.
