Why a Schäffer loader
The wheel loader — also called a rubber-tire loader or "pay loader" — is the most versatile machine in a yard or on a job site: it loads, moves, stacks, clears snow and handles material, from morning to night, with a single operator. At Benco, it's our number-one product for sale, and the brand we represent is Schäffer.
Schäffer is a German manufacturer known for the reliability of its mechanics, the compactness of its machines and their versatility. Where a big, bulky loader struggles in tight spaces, a compact Schäffer slips through, turns short thanks to its articulated steering and accepts a wide range of quick-attach attachments. The result: one machine that goes from bucket to fork, from blade to broom, without you having to own multiple pieces of equipment. For many of our customers, it's the purchase that replaces three machines.
What a wheel loader is for
Our customers buy a Schäffer loader for very concrete uses: in farming, to feed, muck out and handle bales and pallets; in commercial snow removal, to push, gather and load snow from parking lots and entrances; in material handling, to move materials, pallets and bulk in a yard or warehouse; in municipal maintenance, for sidewalks, parks and infrastructure; and in landscaping, to haul soil, mulch, stone and landscaping materials. With the right attachment, the same loader covers the whole year, from the off-season to the heart of winter.
Articulated or telescopic: how to choose
Schäffer comes in two main families. The articulated loader pivots at its center: tight turning radius, excellent stability, perfect for ground-level handling, loading and snow removal in confined spaces. The telescopic loader adds an extending boom that gains height and reach — to stack high, load a truck over the side panel or place a load up high. The right choice depends on the dominant task: ground work and snow removal lean toward articulated, high lifting toward telescopic. When in doubt, describe your operations to us: we'll point you to the matching Schäffer model, without oversizing.

Contact usNew or used?
Two ways to buy, depending on your budget and your use.
The new Schäffer loader offers the full warranty, the latest technical improvements and the most attractive financing: it's the choice for heavy-duty use over several years, where machine availability is critical. The inspected used loader costs less to buy and remains relevant for seasonal use, a second piece of equipment or a tighter budget. Because we are the dealer — not a mere reseller — every used loader we offer goes through our shop first. Used inventory varies as units come in: call us to find out which ones are available today.
Financing that fits
Buying a loader shouldn't tie up all your capital at once. Financing is available on our Schäffer wheel loaders, new and used. Depending on your profile and the chosen machine, we structure a payment plan aligned with your cash flow. Request a quote with the financing options and we'll lay out the terms for you, clearly, with no surprises.
Service, parts and delivery
Buying from Benco means buying from a dealer that stays present after the sale. Our Richelieu shop handles maintenance, repairs and the supply of genuine parts for your loader throughout its life — a local service point on the South Shore, not a sale with no follow-up. We also provide delivery of the machine to your site. Details on our service and parts page.
This page is about the sale of Schäffer loaders. If your need is occasional or seasonal, equipment rental is often more cost-effective than buying. Note that Benco also sells snow blowers, forklifts and specialized units — just ask. Conversely, excavators and mini-excavators are offered for rent, not for sale.

Find the perfect wheel loader for you
The right wheel loader for the right job. Whether you need to move piles of earth around the construction site, unload a truck in the warehouse, or improve your daily farm chores, we've got the ideal wheel loader for you. Exclusive to Quebec, we offer the Benco-Schäffer range of wheel loaders, plus a host of other makes and models.
Tailor-made for tight spaces: the compact wheel loader range is designed to deliver maximum performance in confined spaces, with a focus on reliability and ergonomics. Although small in size, these compact wheel loaders are big on performance, whatever the job. Wheel loaders with Z kinematics are powerful enough to handle even the toughest tasks — superior lift height, precise hydraulic controls and an ergonomic cab. And when it comes to centre-hinged telescopic loaders, Benco is the undisputed benchmark: powerful and precise, with impressive lift heights and load capacities, on any terrain.
3 advantages of a wheel loader
Small and medium-sized wheel loaders offer the best of both worlds: robust, high-performance machines in a smaller format. They perform loading and transport tasks without compromising maneuverability, switch attachments quickly, and can be easily transported from one worksite to another.
Greater versatility
The smallest wheel loaders are invaluable for their ability to be fitted with a wide range of accessories. Pallet forks and buckets can be easily interchanged using a quick attach system. With their central articulation and smaller size, compact wheel loaders can squeeze in where larger loaders cannot.
Easier maintenance
The new wheel loaders feature engine after-treatment systems designed to clean diesel exhaust gases and meet Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) emissions standards. Top-quality models feature a sealed central joint that requires no maintenance or lubrication — less maintenance and fewer spare parts means more time and savings for you.
Unrivalled maneuverability
Easy to handle in tight spaces thanks to a short turning radius, a smaller wheel loader also weighs much less, giving it access to surfaces that couldn't support a larger load. Despite their small size, these loaders deliver impressive lifting forces.

Articulated or telescopic loader: which one should I choose?
The articulated loader is the most versatile: its center-pivot steering gives it a tight turning radius and excellent stability for material handling, loading and snow removal. The telescopic loader adds an extending boom that gains height and reach — ideal for stacking, loading a truck over the side panel, or placing a load up high. As a rule of thumb: ground-level handling and snow removal → articulated; high lifting and reach → telescopic. Describe your tasks and we'll point you to the right Schäffer model in our inventory.
Is it better to buy a new or used Schäffer loader?
New gives you the full warranty, the latest improvements and attractive financing — it's the choice for heavy-duty use over several years. An inspected used loader costs less up front and still makes sense for seasonal use or a tighter budget. Because we are the dealer, every used loader we sell goes through our shop before resale. Used inventory varies with what comes in — call us to find out which units are available.
Do you offer financing to buy a loader?
Yes. Financing is available on Schäffer wheel loaders, new and used. Depending on your profile and the machine, we structure a payment plan that fits your cash flow instead of tying up a large amount of capital all at once. Request a quote with the financing options and we'll walk you through the terms.
What size or capacity of loader do I need?
The right size depends on the load to lift, the volume to move, your work space and the attachments you plan to use. A compact unit suits commercial maintenance, landscaping and sidewalk snow removal; a larger model is needed for intensive farming, heavy handling or clearing large surfaces. The Schäffer line ranges from very compact to rugged. Describe your real-world use and we'll recommend the right capacity — neither oversized nor too small.
Do you provide service and parts after the purchase?
Yes. Benco is a Schäffer dealer, not just a seller: our Richelieu shop handles maintenance, repairs and genuine parts for your loader after the purchase. Buying from us means having a local service point on the South Shore for the entire life of the machine — not a sale with no follow-up. See our service and parts page for the details.
