Quebec backhoe rates
Also called loader backhoe, 580, tractor backhoe. Rates by SubTrack.
Quebec charge-out rates sit on civil, hydro, and industrial work around Montreal and Quebec City. Decree and union rules can sit above a public benchmark. These CAD figures are a T&M starting point, not a substitute for the rate the job signed. Backhoe / loader-backhoe charge-out is the utility iron on service work, small trench, and site clean-up. It is not a 20-ton excavator. The book is an hourly T&M range, fuel usually extra. In Quebec, a backhoe typically bills $105 /hr (range $90 to $120, as of 2026-08). For a check against nearby markets, Ontario sits at $110 /hr, and New Brunswick sits at $100 /hr. These are public benchmarks. Your billable number lives on a SubTrack rate sheet.
