From construction sites to project deliveries with receiving crews on a clock — we coordinate timing, access, and delivery to keep your job on schedule.

Oversized, Overweight & Heavy Equipment Freight

Loadify specializes in moving freight that standard carriers can't handle. Our flatbed carrier network has the experience and equipment to move the largest, heaviest, and most complex loads across Canada and into the US — with complete in-field services including route planning, pickup coordination, and 24/7 live tracking from origin to delivery. Whether you're moving steel beams, pre-cast concrete, or a 100,000 lb piece of industrial equipment, we'll find the right solution.

Available Flatbed Equipment Types

Different loads require different equipment. Loadify's carrier network covers all major flatbed trailer types across Canada and the US — so we can always match your cargo to the right deck:

Standard Flatbed — up to 48,000 lbs, ideal for lumber, steel, and construction materials
Conestoga — rolling tarp system for weather-sensitive open-deck loads
Step-Deck — lower deck height for tall cargo exceeding standard height limits
Double-Drop / Lowboy — for very tall or extremely heavy industrial equipment
RGN (Removable Gooseneck) — drive-on loading for heavy machinery and transformers
Super B / B-Train — tandem trailer configurations for oversized Canadian loads

Flatbed Shipping — Frequently Asked Questions

What are the standard dimensions for a flatbed trailer in Canada?

A standard flatbed trailer in Canada is 48–53 feet long, 8.5 feet wide, with a deck height of approximately 5 feet. Maximum legal freight height is 13.5–14 feet depending on the province, and maximum weight is typically 48,000 lbs.
