A heavy haul load is any shipment that exceeds legal weight limits and requires specialized trailers, axle configurations, and permitting. These loads often demand detailed route and infrastructure analysis before transport.
Oversize transport focuses on loads that exceed legal dimensions, while heavy haul transport is defined by excessive weight. Some shipments qualify as both, requiring additional planning, permits, and equipment.
Yes. Heavy haul loads require provincial permits that outline approved routes, travel times, axle weights, and escort requirements. Permit complexity varies depending on load weight, configuration, and route.
Planning timelines depend on load complexity, route length, and permitting requirements. Simple heavy haul moves may take days, while complex or multi-province shipments can require weeks of planning and coordination.
Heavy haul transport is commonly used in oil & gas, mining, power generation, infrastructure, construction, and industrial manufacturing where large or extremely heavy equipment must be moved safely and legally.
Most heavy haul shipments require pilot vehicles and, in some cases, law enforcement escorts. Requirements are determined by load weight, dimensions, and provincial regulations along the approved route.
Safety is achieved through detailed planning, engineered trailer configurations, experienced operators, route analysis, compliance with regulations, and constant communication during transport.
