Weight spread across more axles

Regulators limit weight per axle, not per load — more axle lines is what makes an overweight piece permittable.

Engineered to the piece

The configuration is worked out for the specific load and the specific route, not taken off a standard sheet.

Permitted per jurisdiction

Every province and state sets its own limits, so the permit package is assembled for the whole route.

About multi-axle transport

Axle lines are how weight becomes legal. Jurisdictions cap what each axle may put on the road rather than what a load may weigh in total, so a piece beyond standard legal weight is carried by adding axles and spreading the same tonnage across more of them.

The configuration is engineered rather than selected. Jeeps and boosters are added ahead of and behind the trailer, spacing is set to the limits along the route, and the whole arrangement is submitted with the permit application. Tunnel boring machine sections, power transformers, large vessels, and heavy mining equipment are the usual freight.

These moves are planned before they are booked. Weights are confirmed, the route is surveyed for bridges and turns, permits are pulled for each province and state, and escorts are arranged to the conditions those permits set. The engineering is the reason the load can move at all — it is not paperwork added afterwards.

The other trailers we operate

Where a multi-axle configuration stops, one of these starts.

Flatbed

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

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

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

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.Extendable

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

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 a multi-axle configuration

  • Power transformers and substation equipment
  • Large pressure vessels and reactors
  • Heavy mining equipment and plant
  • Crawler cranes and counterweights
  • Modular and skid-mounted process units

Where multi-axle moves run

Planned moves rather than scheduled capacity — lead time is set by permits, not by equipment.

Québec and Ontario

Owned equipment, and the corridor where most permitted moves originate.

Western Canada

Contracted heavy haul for mining, energy, and industrial projects.

Atlantic Canada

Project cargo arriving through Halifax and Saint John.

United States

Cross-border moves permitted state by state along the route.
