When your shipment exceeds legal dimensions or weight, everything changes. Standard providers step aside. Permits are required across multiple jurisdictions. Escorts need to be coordinated. Routes need to be surveyed for bridge clearances, overhead wires, and turning radius. The carrier needs multi-axle configurations and the expertise to rig and secure a load that can't shift an inch. This is where Werlwind thrives.
We've been coordinating heavy haul and oversized shipments for over three decades — transformers, turbines, heavy coils, industrial equipment, modular buildings, and project cargo that doesn't fit any standard profile. We know which carriers have the right iron, which routes will work, and what permits you need in every province and state between origin and destination.
- ▸Over-dimensional loads: height, width, length, and weight beyond legal limits
- ▸Multi-axle and specialized trailer configurations
- ▸Provincial and state permit coordination (Canada and US)
- ▸Escort and pilot car arrangement
- ▸Route surveys and engineering assessments
- ▸Crane and rigging coordination at origin and destination
- ▸Project cargo logistics — multi-load, phased shipments
- ▸Cross-border heavy haul with full customs and compliance management
In heavy haul, a mistake isn't a minor inconvenience — it's a bridge strike, a road closure, a six-figure piece of equipment damaged in transit, or a project timeline blown by weeks. The carriers we work with are vetted not just for insurance and authority, but for the specific expertise your load demands. And our team has the operational knowledge to anticipate problems before they become emergencies. That's not something you get from a dispatch algorithm. It comes from doing this work, every day, for over 30 years.
