Équipement
Remorque Flatbed 2-3-4 essieux

Flatbed trailer
2-3-4 axles

Our Flatbed trailers combine versatility, high load capacity, and reliability. This solution is ideal for bulky, oversized, or irregularly shaped cargo. Thanks to the open deck, side loading and unloading with a crane or forklift can be done quickly, significantly reducing handling time. Some of our Flatbed trailers are also equipped with removable stakes, providing additional flexibility for transporting lumber and logs. This type of transport is a fast and cost-effective solution for moving construction materials, raw materials, or shipping containers safely from point A to point B.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a Flatbed trailer?

A Flatbed trailer is an open platform without walls or a roof, designed to transport bulky, long, or irregularly shaped materials. It allows loading from the sides, rear, or top, offering maximum flexibility for all types of operations.

When should you use Flatbed trailer transportation?

The Flatbed is ideal when your goods need to be loaded and unloaded from the sides or cannot be transported in an enclosed trailer. It is perfectly suited for construction materials, steel structures, oversized pallets, and any cargo handled by crane or forklift. Full side access is one of its main advantages.

What is the advantage of a Flatbed compared to a Rolltite trailer?

The Flatbed offers complete loading freedom, with no structure to move—making it ideal for irregular, very long, or difficult-to-handle cargo. Lighter and often more cost-effective, it remains the simplest and fastest solution when the cargo does not need protection from the elements.

Industries served: who is Flatbed trailer transportation for?

Flatbed transportation is widely used in the steel, construction, forestry, civil engineering, and energy sectors. It is suitable for any business moving beams, pipes, panels, structures, oversized loads, or equipment handled by crane.

Remorque Rolltite (Conestoga) 4 essieux

Rolltite trailer – 4 axles

The Rolltite trailer combines the flexibility of a Flatbed with the protection of an enclosed trailer. Thanks to its robust and versatile retractable tarp system, it offers full protection against the elements, unmatched loading efficiency, and enhanced security for all your goods. An ideal solution for fast, damage-free deliveries, no matter the route. Performance, protection, and speed—all in one.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a Rolltite (Conestoga) trailer?

A Rolltite, also known as a Conestoga trailer, is an open platform equipped with a sliding tarp system mounted on rails. It combines the side access of a Flatbed with the protection of an enclosed trailer.

When should you use Rolltite trailer transportation?

A Rolltite trailer is used when cargo needs to be protected while maintaining side access for loading. It is ideal for finished products, moisture-sensitive materials, or any cargo requiring efficient side loading on job sites, in factories, or in warehouses.

Quel est l’avantage du Rolltite par rapport à une remorque Flatbed traditionnelle?

Flatbed et Rolltite offrent tous deux flexibilité, accès direct et efficacité de chargement. La différence ? Les toiles coulissantes ajoutent une protection totale contre la pluie, la neige, le vent et les débris. Avant, bâcher une cargaison sur Flatbed était long, exigeant et coûteux pour un résultat rarement parfait. La remorque Rolltite règle tout ça : une protection complète en moins de trois minutes, sans sacrifier l’accès au chargement. Une solution incontournable pour une vraie tranquillité d’esprit.

What is the advantage of a Rolltite compared to a traditional Flatbed trailer?

Rolltite trailer transportation is ideally suited for the steel, processed wood, construction materials, finished manufactured products, and specialized equipment sectors.

Remorque Dropdeck 3 essieux avec rampes

Dropdeck trailer – 3 axles with ramps

Dropdeck trailer transportation is the perfect solution for moving heavy machinery and specialized equipment efficiently and safely. Thanks to its low deck and sturdy ramps, loading is easy, with no stress or complex maneuvers. The lower platform also allows clearance under certain bridges or overpasses without exceeding height limits, simplifying route planning and transport logistics. An ideal option to help you stay on schedule on the job site.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a Dropdeck trailer with ramps?

A Dropdeck trailer is a platform with a lowered deck, providing greater height clearance than a standard Flatbed. Equipped with integrated ramps, it allows machinery and wheeled equipment to be driven directly on board in a simple, stable, and safe manner.

When should you use Dropdeck trailer transportation with ramps?

Choose a Dropdeck whenever your equipment needs to be driven on rather than lifted, or when you want to avoid complex maneuvers for heavy machinery or delicate cargo with low ground clearance.

What is the advantage of a Dropdeck compared to a traditional lowboy trailer?

Unlike a standard lowboy trailer, a Dropdeck features a lower deck, making it much easier to load machinery and allowing clearance under certain bridges or overpasses without exceeding height limits.

Industries served: who is Dropdeck trailer transportation with ramps for?

The Dropdeck is especially valued in the construction, excavation, forestry, agriculture, industrial manufacturing, and civil engineering sectors. It is ideal for companies moving loaders, mini-excavators, lifts, tractors, specialized equipment, or any wheeled machinery requiring ground-level access.

Remorque B-Train

B-Train trailer with 28 and 32 ft decks

Our B-Train trailers offer exceptional load capacity thanks to their two decks of 28 and 32 feet and optimized weight distribution across multiple axles. Their articulated configuration provides remarkable stability and surprising maneuverability despite their length. They also stand out during thaw periods: less impacted by seasonal restrictions, they allow for higher payloads when weight limits are reduced. It is the ideal solution for heavy or high-volume cargo on Canadian highways.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a B-Train trailer?

A B-Train trailer is a configuration made up of two semi-trailers connected by a fifth wheel coupling. Each deck, measuring 28 or 32 feet, is supported by multiple axles, allowing for the transport of heavy loads while complying with regulatory weight limits, particularly during thaw restriction periods.

When should you use B-Train trailer transportation?

The B-Train is especially useful during thaw periods, as it allows for maintaining a high payload despite seasonal restrictions. Its configuration is ideal for heavy or high-volume goods. It is perfectly suited for repetitive shipments, divisible loads, and projects where optimizing weight per trip is essential. It is also an excellent choice for long-distance transport, where operational efficiency and stability are key priorities.

What is the advantage of a B-Train compared to a traditional Flatbed trailer?

The B-Train offers a higher payload than a traditional Flatbed during thaw weight restrictions, thanks to its two decks and load distribution across multiple axles. It also provides excellent stability and surprising maneuverability for an articulated setup. The result: fewer trips to transport the same amount of goods, while complying with Canadian regulations on vehicle weights and dimensions year-round.

Industries served: who is B-Train transportation for?

The B-Train is particularly well suited for transporting construction materials and general freight where volumes are high and loads are heavy. Its high payload and exceptional efficiency make it a preferred choice for companies looking to optimize their shipments and reduce the number of trips, especially during thaw weight restriction periods.
