Tilt-deck trailers can make loading easier when a site has no loading dock. They’re an option for equipment that can be safely driven or winched onto the trailer. Share the machine’s dimensions, weight, running condition, and pickup access with us, and we’ll help arrange a suitable trailer.
Flatbeds are a practical choice for many machines and attachments moving between Alberta job sites, dealerships, and auctions. Depending on the equipment’s size and how it will be loaded, a step deck or lowboy may be a better fit. We’ll review those details before arranging transport.

From local job-site moves to long-distance hauls, Bridging Distances helps get Alberta equipment where it needs to go.
The cost of moving equipment depends on its dimensions, weight, route, and loading conditions. A compact skid steer and a large excavator need different trailers and plans, so we review the details before quoting.

Every machine has different loading and trailer requirements. We review its dimensions, weight, running condition, and pickup and delivery access before arranging transport with a suitable carrier.
Whether it’s a compact scissor lift or a large dozer, we help coordinate the equipment, route, and timing for the move.
Alberta shipments can involve busy city routes, long distances between communities, and access roads leading to farms or job sites. We plan around the load and the conditions at both ends.
Tell us the exact pickup and delivery locations, especially for a rural property or active worksite. That helps us confirm access and arrange the right equipment for the job.

Equipment trailer guide
Different machines call for different loading methods and deck heights. Browse common trailer options below. If you're unsure what fits, send us your equipment details and we'll help determine a suitable option.
A level open deck for equipment that can be loaded by ramp, forklift, or crane and fits the planned route.
Forklifts, compact equipment, attachments, and crated machinery.
A removable gooseneck can allow machinery to be driven onto the lower deck from the front, depending on the trailer and site.
Excavators, dozers, loaders, and larger construction equipment.
The main deck sits below the front section, providing more room for certain taller loads than a standard flatbed.
Telehandlers, lifts, tractors, and taller industrial equipment.
Sometimes called a Landoll-style trailer, its deck can lower toward the ground for loading equipment that needs a gentler angle.
Forklifts, lifts, rollers, and equipment with limited ground clearance.
An extendable lower deck can accommodate certain longer equipment or components while providing a lower loading height.
Long machinery, structural components, and oversized equipment.
Send us the equipment's make, model, dimensions, weight, and pickup and delivery locations. We'll review the loading requirements.
Photos illustrate trailer types. Dimensions shown are general examples. Actual trailer specifications, capacity, permits, and route clearance must be confirmed for each shipment.
Planning a move to, from, or within Alberta? Here are answers to common questions about trailers, loading, and delivery.
We arrange transport for excavators, skid steers, dozers, wheel loaders, tractors, forklifts, telehandlers, rollers, and other construction, agricultural, and industrial equipment. We can also review attachments that need to travel with the machine. Send us the make, model, dimensions, and a few photos so we can plan the move.
Yes. We arrange moves within Alberta, between Alberta and other provinces, and between Canada and the United States. Whether your equipment is headed to Calgary, Edmonton, Red Deer, Fort McMurray, or a smaller community, the route and delivery site are reviewed when we prepare your quote.
It depends on the equipment’s height, width, weight, ground clearance, and loading method. A flatbed or drop deck may work for some machines, while larger equipment may need an RGN or lowboy. A travelling axle trailer can help with certain machines that need a lower loading angle. We’ll review the machine and both sites before confirming a trailer.
The rate depends on the route, machine size and weight, trailer type, loading requirements, and site access. A move between major centres may be different from a delivery to a remote yard or job site. Oversize permits, escorts, or additional loading equipment can also affect the price. Send us the details and we’ll prepare a quote for your specific move.
Photos of the equipment and loading areas can help us identify issues before dispatch.
Often, yes, but the loading plan needs to be confirmed first. Depending on the machine and site, a winch, forklift, crane, or other assistance may be required at pickup and delivery. Tell us whether it rolls, steers, and brakes, along with anything else that does not work.
Yes. We coordinate pickups from job sites, farms, dealerships, auctions, equipment yards, and private properties. Please share the site contact, operating hours, ground conditions, and any restrictions on truck access. Those details are especially helpful for remote or active work sites.
We’ll review the loaded dimensions and route with the carrier and coordinate permit and escort requirements where applicable. Requirements may change when a shipment crosses a provincial or international border. Accurate measurements, including attachments, are important before the move is scheduled.
We verify the transporting carrier’s cargo insurance before booking. Limits, exclusions, and terms vary, so tell us the equipment’s value and any special concerns when requesting a quote. We can review the available coverage and provide insurance documentation upon request.
Remove loose items, identify detachable attachments, and make sure the machine is accessible for loading. Let us know about leaks, mechanical issues, limited site access, or operating instructions. If the equipment can be driven, have someone familiar with it available when the carrier arrives. Weather and ground conditions should also be communicated before pickup.
Contact us once you know when the machine will be ready. Larger equipment, specialized trailers, remote locations, and permitted loads may need more planning. If your timeline is tight, send us the details and we’ll check the available options for your route.
We handle equipment moves from city to city and province to province anywhere in Canada. Send us your route and load details, and our team will prepare a precise transport estimate.
