Flatbed
The standard open deck.

Crane relocation
A crane arrives across several trailers, in the order the assembly crew needs it

Operated by Rite Way Freight LTD
One machine, several trailers
Body, boom sections, and counterweight each travel separately, planned as one move rather than several bookings.
In assembly order
Trailers are sequenced so the crew builds as the pieces land instead of waiting on the one that came last.
Counterweight is the limit
Slabs are dense enough to fill a permit on their own, so they are split across trailers by axle weight.
About crane and rigging freight
Crawler cranes, mobile and all-terrain cranes, tower crane sections, lattice boom, and counterweight — moved between job sites and yards on lowboys, RGNs, and multi-axle trailers.
A crane is delivered in pieces and rebuilt on site, which makes the sequence as important as the equipment. The upper works, the boom sections in order, the tracks, and the counterweight stack each go on different trailers, and a crew that receives them out of order waits with a crane it cannot finish.
The pieces themselves are awkward in different ways. Boom sections are long and light; counterweight slabs are short and extremely heavy, dense enough that a single trailer takes only a few. Tracks and crawler bodies are wide loads that need permits and escorts of their own. Each is routed on its own terms and timed to land in build order.
What crane components ride on
The trailer classes crane bodies, boom, and counterweight 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.

Crane relocation
A crane move is not one load. It is a convoy that has to arrive in the right order or the crew stands still.

Great services, unbeatable prices, hassle-free experience. They get it right every time.
Where cranes move
Cranes follow the work, so these are relocations between job sites rather than deliveries from a plant — the same machine moves several times a year, and the route is rewritten each time around the permits in force.
