Over-dimensional loads

Permits, escorts, and route engineering for freight beyond legal width, height, or weight.

The right equipment

Flatbeds, step-decks, double-drops, and RGNs matched to the piece rather than to what is free.

Jurisdiction planning

Legal weight and dimensional limits mapped across every region on the route.

About specialized transportation

We move oversized, overweight, and high-value freight across Canada and the United States — from a single machine to loads that need permits, escorts, and engineered routing. Each load is matched to the right trailer and planned around the legal limits of every jurisdiction it crosses.

The planning is what makes it work. A load that is legal in Québec may need a permit in Ontario and an escort in New York, and each of those comes with its own travel windows and route conditions. All of it is established before the load is booked rather than discovered at a weigh scale.

Securement is specified for the piece: chained, strapped, and tarped to spec, with dunnage and bracing where the freight needs it. Where a route survey shows a lane will not take the load, that lane is ruled out before anything is committed.

What it moves on

Trailer classes matched to the load, through owned and contracted equipment.

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.

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 we run oversized freight

What each region typically demands of an over-dimensional load.

Québec and Ontario

Provincial permits, seasonal load restrictions, and urban route conditions.

Where oversized freight runs

An over-dimensional load cannot take every corridor on this map — the route is chosen for clearances and permit conditions rather than for distance.
