Flatbed, step deck & oversize trucking
Flatbed & step deck transport in Quebec, Montreal & Ottawa
Machines, steel, crates and oversize loads moved by a carrier that answers the phone. Local runs around Montreal, trips across Quebec and to Ottawa and Ontario.
Double Z Transport & Logistics is a Granby, Quebec carrier for manufacturers, contractors, equipment dealers and rental companies. We haul flatbed and step deck freight, machinery and oversize loads, and we pick the trailer around your cargo.
One contact from the quote to the delivery, in English or French. We confirm the trailer, the permits and the timing before the truck leaves.
Trailers for each load
Flatbed
Open deck loaded by forklift or crane from the sides or the top: steel, lumber, crates, building materials.
Step deck (Low Pro)
A 53 ft step deck with a lower main deck, for freight too tall for a flatbed.
Double drop
A well between the decks that sits even lower (33 ft well), for the tallest machines and units.
Roll-Tite covered step deck
A rolling cover that opens for side or top loading and closes to keep the cargo dry.
Beavertail & self-loading
Ramps or a tilting deck, so wheeled and tracked equipment loads without a crane.
Permits & escorts
We arrange the oversize permits and escorts for wide, long and heavy loads.

Oversize: what changes
Up to 102 in (8 ft 6 in) wide is legal. From 103 in (8 ft 7 in), a load is oversize and needs a permit. Past 146 in (about 12 ft) wide, an escort might be required, depending on the road, the rules and the regulations. For the height, it depends on the trailer: we choose the equipment and plan the permits with you.
