Pipe and coil freight

Round freight blocked so it cannot roll, and weighed so it cannot overload an axle

Rite Way Freight LTD

Operated by Rite Way Freight LTD

Montréal, Québec · In business since 1987

It wants to roll

Round stock is cradled, chocked, and chained across, not simply strapped to the deck.

Weight in one place

A coil concentrates its whole weight over a few feet, so placement is set by axle limits rather than deck space.

Rod and tube in racks

Drill rod and tubing travel racked and banded so the bundle stays a bundle for the whole trip.

About pipe and coil freight

Pipe, tubing, drill rod, steel coil, and cable reel — dense freight that moves on flatbeds and step-decks, secured so it cannot roll or walk forward under braking.

None of this is difficult to load. It is difficult to keep still. A coil that shifts is a coil through the headache rack, and pipe that rolls takes the securement with it, so the load is built around cradles, chocks, and cross-chaining rather than around filling the deck.

Weight is the other constraint. Steel reaches legal weight over a short length, which puts the load line and the axle spread ahead of the trailer length in every decision. Drill rod and tubing move racked and banded; reels move on their flanges with the cable itself secured, so nothing spools loose in transit.

What pipe and coil ride on

The trailer classes pipe, coil, drill rod, and reel move on.

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.

Multi-Axle

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

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.

5.0

Pipe and coil freight

Pipe and coil are the two loads that will not stay where they are put unless the securement is built for them.

Where pipe and coil move

Steel travels from mill to service centre to site, and each leg is weight-limited rather than distance-limited — the routing is written around bridge formulas and axle limits.
