About defense and aerospace freight
Secure transport of military vehicles, engines, and program components across Canada and the United States.
What sets this freight apart is value and paperwork rather than weight. A jet engine is not especially heavy, but it is fragile, expensive, and often tied to a program schedule with no slack in it. It moves on dedicated equipment, with securement and handling matched to the cargo and continuous tracking on the file.
We handle customs documentation, broker coordination, and CBSA/CBP requirements so program freight crosses the border without delays. CTPAT and PIP participation supports that: both are supply-chain security programmes, and both matter more on this freight than on most.
What program freight rides on
The trailer classes engines, components, and vehicles 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.
