Heavy, awkward, regulated. We move it.
Steel, machinery, raw materials, MRO spares, and project cargo for Canadian and US industrial manufacturers.
When freight gets complicated.
Manufacturers don't move uniform pallets. They move steel coils, machine tools, hazardous chemicals, and one-off project pieces. Each one carries its own permit, equipment, and classification. We handle the awkward freight with ocean, air, and cross-border road plus customs brokerage through a broker partner.

Frequently asked: Manufacturing
Can you handle anti-dumping duties on steel?
Yes. We check ADD/CVD orders at quote time so you don't get blindsided after the cargo lands. For affected commodities we model the all-in landed cost including the additional duties.
What's your largest piece capacity?
Single-piece up to ~45 tonnes on highway permits, larger by project route survey. Ocean breakbulk and heavy-lift carriers for anything bigger.
Do you handle Class 1 explosives?
Limited. Most Class 1 freight needs specialised carriers we don't operate. Talk to us first; we'll either route it or refer you to a partner.
