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.

Equipment to the cargo
Flatbeds, step-decks, RGNs, and enclosed options depending on what the machine needs.
Machinery, not freight
Production machines are levelled, blocked, and braced so nothing shifts or racks in transit.
Plant to plant
Loading dock, rigging crew, and installation window are coordinated at both ends.
About machinery freight
CNC machines, crushers, screening plants, pumps, and processing equipment — moved between manufacturers, dealers, and job sites.
A production machine is worth more than the truck carrying it and is far less tolerant of movement. Machines are levelled and blocked so the frame is not stressed in transit, and anything sensitive to weather goes under cover rather than under a tarp.
Equipment is matched to the cargo: flatbeds and step-decks for machines within legal height, RGNs for anything tracked or wheeled that can drive on, multi-axle where weight exceeds the standard limit, and enclosed options for machinery that needs protection in transit. The move is planned around the rigging crew at both ends, since most of these machines are craned or skated rather than driven.
What machinery rides on
The trailer classes production and processing equipment 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.

5.0
Machinery in transit
Machinery moves are the steadiest work in the operation — shorter lanes, run more often than project cargo.

Great services, unbeatable prices, hassle-free experience. They get it right every time.
Where machinery moves
Plant-to-plant work runs the short dense lanes on this map more often than the long ones — most of it is inside the Québec–Ontario–Northeast triangle.
