Excavator charge-out rates
Excavator charge-out is the line most earthworks tickets live on. The book splits mini (3-5 ton), 20-ton / 320 class, 30-ton / 330 class, and 45-ton. Fuel is usually extra. Operated versus bare changes the number more than the region does.
Each row is one region. Currency is CAD or USD as labeled on the row. Open a region page for the rest of the book.

Use your agreed rates on every daily ticket.
These public ranges are a benchmark. SubTrack stores the rates you agreed with the client on a project rate sheet. Crews apply those rates to labor, equipment, materials, and subcontractors on the daily ticket. The same figures carry into reporting and the billing documents you send.
Excavator rates FAQ
What is a typical excavator charge-out rate?
Excavator charge-out is the line most earthworks tickets live on. The book splits mini (3-5 ton), 20-ton / 320 class, 30-ton / 330 class, and 45-ton. Fuel is usually extra. Operated versus bare changes the number more than the region does. Open a region page for the local number, or a region plus excavator page for a single market.
What does the excavator line include?
This book treats the primary excavator line as bare equipment. Operator, fuel, attachments, and mobilization are only included when the row says so. Do not assume a rental-yard weekend price is the same number.
Can I bill the central excavator reference?
Not from this page alone. The central value is a public check, not a measured market median. SubTrack rate sheets are where your class, standby, and OT actually live.
