Tilt-Deck Equipment Hauling In Ontario
Tilt deck trailers make it possible to load and unload many pieces of equipment without a loading dock. It's a practical option for forklifts, paver machines, and other machinery that can be safely driven or winched onto the trailer. First, we'll need to confirm the equipment's total dimensions, weight, and loading conditions before choosing the correct trailer.
Flatdeck Equipment Transport In Ontario
Another solution for transporting equipment without a dock at either end is by utilizing a trailer with ramps. Depending on what size equipment you're moving, a step deck with ramps is required for transporting equipment up to 10 feet tall. If your equipment is taller than that it will require an RGN which can transport up to 12 feet tall without requiring permits.

Affordable, Fully Insured Equipment Moving Across Ontario
Dependable equipment transport by Bridging Distances — local expertise with Ontario-wide reach.

When you book with Bridging Distances, you’ll be supported by a dedicated Ontario logistics coordinator who manages permits, routes, and timing, keeping you updated from dispatch to delivery.
Every move is fully insured and completed by CVOR-compliant drivers. We plan for the unexpected so your equipment arrives on schedule and in the condition it left.

Frequently Asked Questions
Answers about moving construction equipment in Ontario, from choosing a trailer to preparing for pickup.
What types of construction equipment can you ship in Ontario?
We arrange transport for excavators, skid steers, loaders, bulldozers, backhoes, forklifts, tractors, rollers, and other machinery. Attachments can often travel with the main unit, depending on their dimensions, weight, and how they need to be secured. Send us the make and model, or a few photos, and we’ll help determine the right setup.
Which trailer will my equipment need?
That depends on the machine’s size, weight, ground clearance, and how it will be loaded. Smaller equipment may move on a flatbed or tilt-deck. Taller or heavier machines may require a step deck, lowboy, or removable gooseneck trailer. We’ll review the equipment and both sites before recommending a trailer.
How much does construction equipment shipping cost in Ontario?
Pricing depends on the pickup and delivery locations, the machine’s dimensions and weight, the trailer required, and how it will be loaded and unloaded. Oversize permits, escorts, or special site access can also affect the rate. Share the equipment details and addresses, and we’ll put together a quote for your move.
What information do you need for a quote?
- Pickup and delivery addresses
- Equipment make, model, and year, if available
- Length, width, height, and weight
- Whether the machine runs, drives, and steers
- Available loading and unloading equipment or ramps
- Site access details and your preferred dates
Photos of the machine and both loading areas are especially helpful.
Can you move equipment that does not run?
Often, yes. A non-running machine may need a winch, forklift, crane, or another loading method at pickup and delivery. Tell us what does and does not work on the equipment so we can arrange a suitable trailer and loading plan before the truck arrives.
Can you pick up from a job site, farm, dealer, or auction?
Yes. We coordinate equipment pickups and deliveries at construction sites, farms, dealerships, auctions, yards, and private properties across Ontario. We’ll confirm the site contact, hours, loading arrangements, and truck access ahead of time.
Do you arrange permits for oversize equipment?
Yes. If a machine exceeds legal size or weight limits, we can coordinate the required permits, route planning, and escorts where applicable. Accurate dimensions and weight are important so these requirements can be checked before scheduling the move.
Is my equipment insured during transport?
We verify the transporting carrier’s cargo insurance before booking. Coverage limits and terms vary by carrier and shipment, so please tell us the equipment’s value when requesting a quote. We can review the available coverage and provide insurance documentation upon request.
How should I prepare my equipment for pickup?
Remove loose items, secure or disclose any detachable attachments, and make sure the machine is accessible at the scheduled pickup time. Let us know about leaks, mechanical issues, unusual dimensions, or special operating instructions. If the equipment can be driven, arrange for someone familiar with it to be available for loading.
How far in advance should I book equipment transport?
Book as soon as your pickup date is known, particularly for large equipment that needs a specialized trailer or permits. If the move is urgent, send us the details anyway. We’ll check what equipment and scheduling options are available for your route.
