Manitoba excavator rates
Also called hoe, 320, 330, Cat 320, 20 ton, 30 ton, mini excavator. Rates by SubTrack.
Manitoba rates follow Winnipeg commercial work and northern hydro and mining support. Winter freeze-up and long hauls into the north show up in equipment more than in a city laborer line. These are CAD charge-out ranges for T&M tickets. 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. In Manitoba, a excavator typically bills $180 /hr (range $155 to $200, as of 2026-08). For a check against nearby markets, Saskatchewan sits at $180 /hr, and Ontario sits at $190 /hr. These are public benchmarks. Your billable number lives on a SubTrack rate sheet.
