Operated by Rite Way Freight LTD
Sections, not parts
Hull blocks and deck modules move whole, on equipment sized to the section.
Port operations
Moves are coordinated with terminal procedure and the receiving site at the other end.
Ahead of demurrage
Container pickups are timed to arrival so boxes clear the yard before storage charges start.
About marine freight
Hulls, marine components, and port-to-site heavy lift for shipyards and marine projects.
Shipbuilding freight is dictated by the yard. Hull sections and deck modules are built to a schedule and lifted into place in a fixed order, so a delivery that arrives early takes up space the yard needs and one that arrives late holds up the lift. Moves are planned around the crane rather than around the road.
We also move freight between ocean ports, rail terminals, and inland destinations, scheduling pickups to reduce demurrage and detention charges. That covers container and breakbulk drayage as well as the oversized sections — the same file often has both.
What marine loads ride on
The trailer classes hull sections and marine 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.

Where marine freight moves
Marine work starts or ends at a port, so these lanes are mostly the runs inland from the coast and between yards.
