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.

Beyond legal weight
Added axle lines spread the load so a transformer can be permitted and moved as one piece.
Surveyed first
Bridge ratings and clearances are checked along the whole route before the load is committed.
A plan B
Seasonal, structural, and border risks are planned around from the start rather than improvised.
About energy and utility freight
Turbines, transformers, and power-generation equipment — high-value loads that move with route surveys, permits, and contingency planning.
A large transformer is one of the hardest things to move on a road. It is extremely heavy for its size, it cannot be disassembled, and every bridge on the route has to be rated for it. The configuration is engineered to the piece: axle lines are added until the load spreads within what the route will carry, and the permit is written around that.
Turbines bring the opposite problem — length rather than weight. Blades and casings overhang a standard deck and move on extendable trailers with escorts matched to the length. Either way the survey comes first, and where a lane will not take the piece it is ruled out before anything is committed.
What power equipment rides on
The trailer classes turbines and transformers move on.
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.

Great services, unbeatable prices, hassle-free experience. They get it right every time.
Where power equipment moves
A transformer route is chosen by what the bridges will carry rather than by distance — these corridors are the starting point, and the survey decides the rest.
