Decks that stretch for long freight
Extendable flatbeds and step-decks carry beams, pipe, and freight that overhangs a standard deck
Operated by Rite Way Freight LTD
The deck stretches to the piece
A telescoping deck supports long freight along its length rather than leaving it overhanging off the back.
Supported, not cantilevered
Beams, girders, and pipe sit on deck for their full run, which is what keeps a long piece from flexing in transit.
Permitted to the length
Over-length loads carry permits and escorts set to how far the deck is drawn out, arranged before the move.
About extendable transport
An extendable trailer telescopes: the deck draws out from its own frame so it can be set to the length of the piece it is carrying. Extendable flatbeds and step-decks are both in use, so the class is chosen by the height of the freight as well as its length.
Length is the problem these solve. Bridge girders, structural beams, pipe sections, wind and crane components, conveyor runs, and long crated assemblies all exceed a standard 48 or 53-foot deck. Carrying them on a short deck means cantilevering the overhang off the back, which loads the piece in ways it was not built for; stretching the deck supports it along its run instead.
Over-length freight is permitted and escorted to the length it actually travels at, which is set before dispatch rather than discovered at a weigh scale. Where the piece is heavy rather than long, added axle lines are the answer, and where it is tall, a double-drop well carries it lower.
The other trailers we operate
Where an extendable stops, one of these starts.
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.
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.What moves on an extendable
- Bridge girders and structural beams
- Pipe sections and large-diameter culvert
- Distillation columns and towers
- Crane booms and lattice sections
- Conveyor runs and stacker sections
- Drill masts and pile-driver booms
Where extendables run
Availability follows the fleet — densest near the Montréal base, extended by contracted carriers.
Québec and Ontario
Owned equipment, and the bridge and fabrication work along the corridor.
Western Canada
Contracted stretch decks for pipeline and energy components.
Atlantic Canada
Project cargo and fabricated sections out of the Maritime ports.
United States
Cross-border lanes with over-length permits per state.
Decks that stretch for long freight
Beam and stretch trailers carried the bridge girders, pipe sections, and long aerospace crates in the projects gallery.

There are not enough words in the dictionary to describe how incredible this company is. I have been using them for well over a year, almost every day.
As a carrier, I’ve been doing business with Rite Way for over 7 years. Definitely one of the best brokers.
Rite Way Freight is very professional and organized. We’ve been working with them for 5 years.
Great services, unbeatable prices, hassle-free experience. They get it right every time.
