Steel beams don't fit in a box. Neither do heavy machinery, oversized mining tires, or 60-foot pipe. Open deck freight demands the right equipment, the right securement, and a carrier who knows how to load it. Werlwind has been moving open deck cargo across North America for over 30 years, and we know that the difference between a successful delivery and a claim often comes down to equipment selection and load planning.
- ▸Standard flatbeds (48' and 53')
- ▸Step decks / drop decks
- ▸Double drop (lowboy) trailers
- ▸RGN (Removable Gooseneck) trailers
- ▸Conestoga / roll-tite (weather protection without dock constraints)
- ▸Super-B configurations
- ▸Tridem and quad-axle trailers for heavier loads
Structural steel, rebar, plate steel, precast concrete, lumber and building materials, construction equipment, agricultural implements, manufacturing components, pipe and tubing, industrial machinery and equipment for the mining and oil & gas industries.
A shipper who doesn't move freight daily may not know whether they need a step deck or an RGN, a Conestoga or a standard flat. Werlwind does. We'll assess your cargo dimensions, weight, loading conditions, delivery site access, and match the trailer that keeps your freight secure and your costs in line. Getting this wrong means re-work, delays, and accessorial charges. Getting it right means your freight arrives on time, on budget, and stress free.
