Flatbed
The standard open deck.
Steel, machinery, and building materials on an open deck, loaded by crane or forklift from any side. Suited to freight up to around 48,000 lbs that fits within legal height.

Operated by Rite Way Freight LTD
In build order
Deliveries are phased to the erection schedule, so steel arrives in the sequence the crane will lift it.
Live sites
Access, laydown space, and crane windows are agreed with the site before a truck is sent.
Long and heavy
Extendable and multi-axle trailers carry beams and sections that overhang a standard deck.
About construction freight
Structural steel, precast concrete, and heavy machinery for major builds — moved on flatbeds, step-decks, and multi-axle trailers matched to the load.
Sequence is what separates construction freight from general haulage. Steel is erected in a fixed order, and a beam that arrives out of turn occupies laydown space and blocks the piece that was actually needed. We coordinate with site managers, crane operators, and project leads so deliveries land in sequence with the build schedule.
Sites are rarely easy. Urban builds have narrow approaches, restricted delivery windows, and permits that dictate which hours a load may travel. Infrastructure work is often remote with limited turning room. Both are planned before dispatch rather than discovered by the driver.
What construction loads ride on
The trailer classes steel, precast, and site machinery move on.
Step-Deck
A lower deck for taller freight.
The main deck sits lower than a flatbed, adding clearance for equipment and crated cargo that would run over-height on a standard deck — so taller loads move legally without permits.
Double-Drop & Lowboy
A low center well for over-height machinery.
The deck drops between the axles to carry tall machinery low to the road, keeping over-height freight under the bridges and wires along the route.
RGN
Removable gooseneck — equipment drives on.
The gooseneck detaches so excavators, cranes, and other tracked or wheeled equipment drive onto the deck under their own power. Configurable to around 150,000 lbs with added axles.
Multi-Axle
Axle lines added for the heaviest loads.
For freight beyond standard legal weight, added axle lines spread the load so it can be permitted and moved. The configuration is engineered to the piece and the route.
Extendable
Decks that stretch for long freight.
Extendable flatbeds and step-decks stretch to carry beams, pipe, and other long freight that overhangs a standard deck, with permits and escorts arranged to match the length.
Tank & Specialized
Purpose-built trailers for energy cargo.
Cryogenic tankers and purpose-built platforms carry LNG and other energy-sector cargo under the handling and safety protocols the freight requires.

Where construction freight moves
Fabrication shops, precast plants, and job sites sit at either end of these corridors — most construction lanes are shorter and run more often than project cargo.
