Not every load fits in a standard box. Ferndale Transport moves oversized, heavy and out-of-gauge cargo from the Port of Vancouver, whether it arrives as a container or a flat-deck move. We plan every oversized move from pickup to delivery so it arrives secure and compliant.
Flat rack, open top, step deck and double drop loads off the port.
Out-of-gauge freight is cargo that doesn't fit inside a standard container: machinery that's too tall, equipment that's too wide, or loads too heavy for normal handling. It usually arrives at the port on a flat rack or in an open top container, or needs to move on a specialized trailer once it's off the ship.
Moving it safely comes down to choosing the right equipment and planning the move before the truck rolls.
All of it is company-owned, so we're not waiting on someone else's trailer to become available.
The more detail you give up front, especially exact dimensions and weight, the smoother the move.
Our customers ship machinery, industrial and construction equipment, vehicles and other large or heavy cargo from the Port of Vancouver to sites across the Lower Mainland and Fraser Valley.
