Affordable Farm Equipment Transport Services in Canada
The cost of shipping farm equipment in Canada relies on the specifications of a shipment. That means factors such as weight, dimensions, distance, mode of transport, and season. Transporting farm equipment when it’s snowing is more costly than during other seasons because there’s a risk of the shipment getting damaged by the snow and more prone to accidents because of the slippery highways. In addition, the drivers take longer on the roads because they’re forced to drive slowly due to the adverse weather.
To load and unload your farm equipment, we ensure it’s done by a team of professionals with years of experience to avoid accidents. Farm equipment that can’t be driven onto a trailer are lifted on and off using a crane and well-secured using strong straps. During winter, we cover your farm equipment using tarps to protect it from the damage caused by snow.
Fully Insured Farm Equipment Hauling Services in Canada
A professional farm equipment transport company like Tractor Transport will ensure your farm equipment is insured against all forms of damage during transport. We hand you a copy of our insurance with your name and a bill of lading showing the condition of your car before transport. Once your farm equipment is delivered, you will inspect it together with our driver in and compare its condition to the information on the bill of lading form filled out earlier. If there’s a difference and your farm equipment has incurred new dents, you should go directly to the insurance company to claim compensation.
To prepare farm equipment for transport in Canada, clean it to make the inspection process faster, and remove personal belongings because if they’re lost or damaged, you won’t be compensated. For reliable and timely farm equipment transport services in Canada, call us today.

FLATBED TRANSPORTATION SERVICES
Our most versatile and commonly used trailer by far is the standard flatbed trailer, made evident by the sheer number of them on the road every day. A great aspect of flatbed trailer shipping is the stability of the bed and the fact that these common carriers come in a wide variety of sizes and dimensions. A flatbed trailer, as the name suggests, is marked by a flat trailer surface that's able to be loaded with stability by balancing and securing cargo on the outside edges of the trailer.
Flatbed Trailer Specifications:
Max Weight: 48,000 pounds
Max Length 53 ft.
Max Width 8.5 ft.
Max Height 8.5 ft.
RGN (REMOVABLE GOOSENECK) TRANSPORT SERVICES
RGN Trailer Specifications:
Max Weight: 42,000+ pounds
Main Deck Length 29 ft.
Well Width 8.5 ft.
Legal Height Limit 11.6 ft.
The Removable Gooseneck (RGN) trailer has a detachable front end that turns the trailer into a ramp. Past the detachable section of the trailer, RGNs are equipped with a double drop formation that lends the payload an extra amount of height, usually around 12 extra inches. The variable nature of the RGN trailer allows it to accommodate cargo that is more difficult for less flexible trailers. Referred to as a "detach", the RGN is ideal for transporting less than standard cargo, equipment that is longer, taller, or otherwise a non-normal size.
EXTENDED RGN (REMOVABLE GOOSENECK) TRANSPORT SERVICES
Similar to the standard Removable Gooseneck Trailer, the extended RGN has an added section for additional length and capacity for particularly tricky transport jobs. When cargo is too long for the standard Removable Gooseneck (RGN), we sometimes employ the extended RGN. Like the standard RGN, the back portion of the stretch RGN is removable, creating a convenient ramp. The extended RGN has a versatile extension feature that allows it to meet an increased number of length requirements for cargo.
Extended RGN Trailer Specifications:
Max Weight: 150,000+ pounds
Main Deck Length 29 ft. - 65 ft.
Well Width 8.5 ft.
Legal Height Limit 11.6 ft.
DROP DECK TRANSPORT SERVICES
Drop Deck Trailer Specifications:
Max Weight: 48,000 pounds
Max Length 53 ft.
Max Width 8.5 ft.
Max Height 11 ft.
A drop deck, or "step deck" trailer resembles a standard flatbed model with a single drop in order to give the trailer the capacity for more cargo height. This is especially advantageous when the payload exceeds the standard height requirements for a regular flatbed. This is especially advantageous when the payload exceeds the standard height requirements for a regular flatbed. For especially large or oddly sized pieces of equipment, the drop deck trailers present a uniquely ideal solution; tractors, farming combines and large construction and industrial equipment.
EXTENDED DROP DECK TRANSPORT SERVICES
When a job necessitates a trailer that can carry an irregularly long piece of equipment or cargo, we employ the extended drop deck trailer. Like a flatbed with either a single or a double attached gooseneck, the extended drop deck gives the user capacity for additional height and length to meet the needs of a specific cargo load. Typically, the extended RGN is more flexible than the standard RGN, so it's only used when absolutely necessary.
Extended Drop Deck Trailer Specifications:
Max Weight: 45,000 pounds
Max Length 63 ft.
Max Width 8.5 ft.
Max Height 10 ft.
LOWBOY TRANSPORT SERVICES
Lowboy Trailer Specifications:
Max Weight: 40,000 pounds
Max Length 24 ft.
Max Width 8.5 ft.
Max Height 14 ft.
A lowboy is one of the lowest trailers to the ground, as its name suggests. Many heavy hauling tasks are carried out with the help of the lowboy trailer because of its use for extremely large, heavy, and oversized or over-dimension equipment. Typically when you see a sign that says "Oversize Load" on the interstate, the cargo being hauled is done so with a lowboy trailer. Many shippers use lowboy models as their top choice for these jobs due to their capacity to carry extremely heavy weights of cargo, and their stability as the lowest, off-the-ground option.
