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.

Operated by Rite Way Freight LTD
Machines that drive on
Excavators, dozers, and haul trucks load under their own power onto RGN decks, then come off the same way.
Remote sites are the job
Access roads, camp schedules, and winter conditions are planned for before a truck is dispatched.
Timed to the site
Delivery is coordinated with site managers and crane crews so equipment lands when the site can receive it.
About mining freight
We move mining equipment across Canada and the United States — from a single machine to staged, multi-load programs — including the permits, escorts, and route engineering that oversized loads require.
Remote sites are part of the job. A mine is rarely near a highway, and the last stretch is often a private road with its own weight limits and seasonal restrictions. We coordinate directly with site managers and crane operators so equipment arrives when the site is ready to receive it, not before.
Loads split roughly two ways. Tracked and wheeled machines — excavators, dozers, draglines, haul trucks — move on RGN and multi-axle trailers they can drive onto. Mill shells, crushers, and processing components are lifted on and off, which means crane coordination at both ends and securement engineered for the piece.
What mining loads ride on
The trailer classes these machines and components 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.
