The following suggested rates
are effective as of
January 1, 2026
Suggested equipment rates are suggested minimums for machines working in light to medium conditions and are subject to change. Higher rates will be charged for difficult or extreme conditions or when machines are equipped with specialized attachments. The rental rates do not include transportation. These rates are a guide with the underlying premise that the owner/operator is in business to provide the best possible service and production, while making a reasonable profit.
Suggested Fuel Surcharge – Update as of January 1, 2024
Monthly Fuel Surcharge calculations have been paused as the IEOA Suggested Equipment Rates from January 1, 2024 include a provision for fuel costs up to $2.60/litre. The IEOA Rate Committee will continue to monitor fuel costs and will meet and review reinstating a temporary fuel surcharge if the fuel costs rise above this amount.
Excavators
Rates shown are for working in light to medium conditions. Higher rates may be charged for extreme conditions or for outside of regular business hours.
Rates may decrease for older machines.
