Our services
Specialized transport and oversized loads
Industrial equipment, machinery and oversized pieces, across Greater Montreal and the regions we serve. Permits, escort, securement and on-site handling: we manage the whole file rather than just the mileage.
✓ Oversized loads
✓ Permits and escort handled
✓ On-site handling included
What actually derails an oversized move
Almost never the road itself. It is three things that should have been checked before anything was loaded.
Height
Loaded height, not the piece alone
The Louis-Hippolyte-La Fontaine bridge-tunnel clears 4.4 m. Anything taller goes over a bridge instead. What matters is the total height once the piece is on the trailer — that is where the unpleasant surprises come from.
8 – 20 %
The spring thaw period
In spring, permitted loads are cut by 8 % to 20 % depending on the zone, with different dates for each of Quebec’s three zones. For a heavy piece, that decides whether the move goes now or after the restrictions lift.
Arrival
What happens once you are on site
A piece dropped at the site entrance is not a delivered piece. From the quote onward we plan how it will come down, be moved, and be set in the exact spot where it has to work.
What we haul
What these loads have in common: they do not fit a standard trailer, or they do not forgive a securement mistake. Often both.
✓ Industrial equipment and machinery
✓ Heavy, urgent replacement parts
✓ Oversized loads requiring a permit
✓ Aerospace equipment and precision components
✓ Construction and job-site equipment
✓ Fragile loads needing custom securement
From assessment to delivery
01
Assessing the load
Dimensions, weight, lifting points, access at both ends. A photo usually beats a description.
02
Permits, escort and routing
We handle the paperwork and it is in the quote, not billed to you afterwards.
03
Loading and securement
Planned for the worst stretch of the route, not for the yard you are leaving.
04
Delivery and positioning
The piece ends up where it has to work. Handling included.
Where we operate
Every region sets its own constraints: a tunnel clearance, a gap in the highway, 200 km without a service stop. These are the ones we have documented.
Montreal and surrounding areas — Anjou, Laval, Longueuil, Salaberry-de-Valleyfield
Eastern Townships and Mauricie — Sherbrooke, Trois-Rivières

Frequently asked questions
What are the regulations for oversized loads in Quebec?
Dimension and weight limits are set by Quebec’s ministry of transport; past them, a special circulation permit is mandatory. Send us the dimensions and the weight and we will tell you in minutes which side of the line you are on. It is a matter of regulatory thresholds, not judgement: past the permitted limits a special permit becomes mandatory, and an escort may be too.
How long does a special permit take?
It depends on the dimensions and the route. That is exactly why it pays to call early: a standard piece can leave on short notice, an oversized load needs the administrative lead time. Days are won at the start of the file, not at the end.
Do you run emergencies when a line is down?
A good share of what we do. When a production stoppage costs more than the freight, the math changes: tell us on the first call and we build the file around that.
Can you position the piece, not just deliver it?
Yes, and it is included. Our material handling service covers bringing it down, moving it and setting it in the exact spot, even where access is tight or upstairs.
Can you store the piece before installation?
Yes, and it is common on industrial installations. Our warehousing service receives the equipment on the supplier’s date and delivers it when the site is ready for it.
