Heavy, Oversized & Project Freight · Canada & USA
Steel, machinery and equipment moved on the right trailer, with permits arranged, loads secured to standard and a plan for getting it off the truck at the other end, the same planning discipline behind our reliable manufacturing logistics work.

Standard Or Oversized
Most industrial freight fits on a trailer and travels like anything else. Some of it does not, and the difference is measured rather than judged. Once a load goes past the legal limits for width, height, length or weight, it stops being a booking and becomes a permit application. Permits are issued by each province or state the load passes through, they take time, and they come with conditions such as approved routes, daylight travel only, no movement on long weekends, or an escort vehicle running ahead, the same regulatory precision we apply across our pharmaceutical logistics work. None of that can be arranged while a truck is waiting at your gate. The single most useful thing you can do is send us accurate dimensions and weight early, because that one measurement decides the trailer, the price and how many days of notice we need.
At The Site
Industrial deliveries rarely arrive at a warehouse with a level dock and a forklift waiting. They arrive at plants under construction, mine roads, energy sites, farm yards and parking lots, sites that often need the same bulk supply support as our reliable wholesale logistics clients. There may be no forklift with enough capacity, no hard standing to put outriggers on, and nobody on site with the certification to run a lift. When that is discovered on arrival, the driver waits, the site loses a day and somebody pays for a crane at short notice. We ask about the delivery point before the load is booked, not after, in the same way we plan specialized handling for our cold chain logistics shipments. That means checking access width and overhead clearance, confirming what lifting equipment will be there and who is operating it, and arranging a crane, a moffett or a self-unloading trailer where the site cannot handle the piece on its own. Where a lift is involved, the freight is timed to arrive with it rather than hours before or after.

What We Use
The load decides the trailer, so it helps to know what the options actually are.
Flatbed Trailers
Step Deck & Drop Deck Trailers
Double Drop & Lowboy Trailers

Moffett & Truck Mounted Forklifts
Curtainside Trailers
Dry Vans For Palletized Industrial Freight
Choosing between these comes down to three numbers and one question. The three numbers are length, width and total height once the piece is sitting on a deck, because a load that clears legal height on a flatbed may not clear it on the same deck at a different ride height, the same equipment-matching approach we use across our retail logistics network. The question is what happens at the delivery end. A moffett carried on the back of the trailer solves a site with no forklift and turns a difficult delivery into a routine one, which is often cheaper than booking a crane. Send dimensions, weight and a description of the delivery point, and the equipment gets picked around all four.
What It Requires
Measured, not estimated. Length, width, height on the deck and actual weight, because every one of those changes the trailer, the permit and the route.
Every province and state the load crosses issues its own permit with its own conditions. They are applied for days ahead, not the morning of pickup.
Chains, straps, coil racks and edge protection applied to cargo securement rules, checked before the load leaves and again after the first stretch of road.
Confirmed before dispatch. Crane, forklift capacity, moffett or self-unloading trailer, with the freight timed to arrive when the equipment and the operator are both there.
Gate width, overhead lines, turning room and ground conditions looked at in advance, so a fifty foot trailer is not discovering a tight corner in the dark.
When a project needs several loads, they arrive in the order the installers need them, not in the order they happened to be ready.
Pricing
Priced on the size of the load, the equipment it needs and what happens at each end.
Whether the load is legal or needs a permit
Flatbed, step deck, lowboy or heavy haul
Provinces crossed, routing and escort vehicles
Crane, moffett or self-unloading offload
Give us dimensions, weight, both addresses and a note on the delivery site. We will tell you the trailer, the permit lead time and the price in one reply.
Client Feedback
“We had a press that needed to go three hundred kilometres and land on a specific day because the crane and the millwrights were booked. Permits, route and lift all lined up, and it was set down within the hour we asked for.“
Project Manager
Industrial Equipment Installer, Milton
“Half our deliveries go to yards with no forklift. Running a moffett on the trailer stopped us renting equipment at every site, and honestly it costs us less overall than what we were spending before.“

Common Questions
Moving heavy, oversized and awkward freight, plus the everyday supply of parts, materials and consumables into industrial sites. It includes storage, both indoor and in open yards, and the offloading that happens at the far end.
Once it exceeds the legal limits for width, height, length or weight in the jurisdiction it is travelling through. Give us measurements and we will tell you straight away whether you are in permit territory.
Usually a few business days, sometimes longer where a route survey or an escort is required. Holiday weekends and seasonal load restrictions can add to it, so early notice is worth a lot here.
A forklift carried on the back of the trailer. The driver takes it off, unloads the freight and puts it back on, which means a site with no forklift can still receive a heavy delivery without hiring equipment.
Yes, and more importantly we time the freight to arrive when the crane and its operator are there. A crane waiting for a truck and a truck waiting for a crane cost the same either way.
Yes, including decommissioning support, crating, transport and delivery timed to an installation schedule. Multi-piece moves are sequenced to match the order the installers need.
Yes. Not everything needs a heated warehouse, and open laydown yard storage costs considerably less for material that can sit outside.
Yes. Shutdown and turnaround work runs to fixed windows, often overnight or across a weekend, and deliveries are scheduled around the window rather than around business hours.
