About CCR
A family operation, not a rental counter
Coates Contracting & Rentals is family-owned and operated out of Nanaimo. We started CCR to make getting the right machine — and a fair, friendly hand — simple for everyone on Vancouver Island.
We’re a young, family-owned outfit that believes renting equipment shouldn’t feel like pulling teeth. No call centres, no mystery pricing, no wondering what’s actually going to show up.
Ben runs the machines and the operating side; Hannah keeps the bookings and the family side of things moving. Between the two of us, you get straight answers, fair rates and equipment that’s ready to work the day it lands on your site.
Our mission goes beyond providing equipment — we’re here to support your projects and help build a stronger, more resilient island community. Welcome to the CCR family.
What we stand on
The way we like to do business
Family-run, hands-on
When you call, you get Ben or Hannah — the people who own the machines and answer for the work.
Show up, sorted
Equipment arrives clean, fuelled and ready, with the attachments your job actually needs.
Built for the island
We know the towns, the back roads and the ground. From Victoria to Campbell River, we've got you.
Community first
We're here to support your projects and help build a stronger, more resilient island community.
