Equipment rental in Laval — North Shore delivery

For one-off needs, we always weigh whether the distance is worth it versus a Laval-based rental shop. Our edge: a Schäffer fleet (exclusive Quebec distributor), plus a loader and snow-removal lineup no regional renter can match. For short-term one-off projects, it may not be the optimal choice — we're upfront about that. But for long-term rental (1+ month), seasonal snow-removal contracts (November to April), or specialized needs (Schäffer in particular), we stay competitive even at 55 km. Several Laval contractors have been our clients for 20+ years.

For material handling in industrial parks (head offices, distribution centres, logistics subcontractors), Hitachi, TCM or Transmanut forklifts (3,000-5,000 kg capacity) are the standard tools. For outdoor yards and truck loading, rough-terrain forklifts or our compact wheel loaders (Schäffer 3650 SLT, Kawasaki) fitted with Erskine forks are more versatile. For spring sweeping of large parking surfaces, an 84-inch pick-up sweeper on a Schäffer 3650.

The Carrefour Laval parking lots (5+ hectares) call for a full equipment lineup for upkeep: 2-3 wheel loaders with 10-12 foot blades and spreaders for snow removal, 84-inch pick-up sweepers for spring sweeping, and forklifts for deliveries and in-house maintenance. Several subcontractors managing these contracts rent their fleet from us, especially for the winter season, which requires a high number of machines running at once.

Yes — the Laval bridges (Papineau-Leblanc, Médéric-Martin, Le Gardeur, Mathieu) all carry our equipment without issue (the heaviest machine in our fleet weighs under 10 tonnes). The bridge we use depends on the destination neighbourhood: Pont-Viau or Chomedey via Papineau-Leblanc, Vimont or Auteuil via Mathieu, Duvernay via Le Gardeur. We avoid rush hour for bulkier loads (a 10+ foot blade, for example). Otherwise, standard delivery is 50 minutes from Richelieu.

For a project running from 1 month to several years, our sister company Location Benoit Inc. (450-658-2433) handles it. The benefits: sliding monthly rates, maintenance included, the option to swap models, and no capital tied up. For Laval specifically, long-term rental avoids the repeat transport costs of short-term rental. For contracts beyond 12 months, we can also structure a lease-to-own where you buy at residual value at the end of the term.
