Frequently Asked Question

Flatbed transportation refers to the use of a flat, open trailer with no sides or roof for hauling large, heavy, or oversized cargo. It’s ideal for transporting items that don’t fit in standard enclosed trailers, such as machinery, construction materials, and vehicles.

Common cargo includes:

  • Construction equipment

  • Steel beams and pipes

  • Lumber and building materials

  • Vehicles and heavy machinery

  • Oversized loads

Yes, with proper strapping, tarping, and loading practices, flatbed transport can safely carry fragile or valuable items. However, for extremely delicate goods, enclosed trailers may offer more protection.

Yes. Oversized or overweight loads typically require special permits, which our team can help you obtain to ensure legal and safe transport across provinces or states.

Standard flatbed trailers are typically:

  • Length: 48 to 53 feet

  • Width: 8.5 feet

  • Height: Cargo must usually not exceed 8.5 feet in height (without permits)

We also offer step decks, double drops, and extendable flatbeds for specialized needs.
