Construction equipment hauling
Fission Logistics hauls skid steers, mini excavators, compactors, generators, light towers and attachments out of Mississauga for dealers, rental yards and contractors. We take machines out to the jobsite and back to the yard, across Ontario and cross border.
What we haul
Compact and mid size equipment: skid steers and track loaders, mini and mid size excavators, rollers and compactors, generators and light towers, forklifts and scissor lifts, buckets, attachments and crated site equipment.
| Load | Trailer we send | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Skid steers, compactors, generators, attachments | Open flatbed, 53 ft tandem | Loaded from a dock or with a loader |
| Mini and mid size excavators, taller machines | Step deck, 53 ft | The lower deck keeps the cab and boom under legal height |
| Tallest units | Double drop, 53 ft | Rides in the well, permitted when needed |
| Crated equipment that must stay dry | Conestoga, 53 ft tandem | Rides under the cover, no tarp |
How we secure equipment
- Chained at the manufacturer's 4 tie down points. Binders are checked again within the first 50 miles.
- Buckets, blades and attachments are chained on their own, never left loose on the deck.
- Booms lowered and blocked, tracks and tires chocked, cabs locked, keys with the driver's paperwork.
Lanes
We move machines from dealers and rental yards in the GTA, Hamilton, Kitchener, Cambridge, London and Windsor to jobsites across Southern Ontario. We also run between Ontario and yards in Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Illinois, Indiana and Kentucky.
Questions shippers ask
What equipment fits your trailers?
Anything that fits on a step deck, double drop or flatbed and can be chained at 4 points, including forklifts, scissor lifts and crated equipment. Oversize machines go with permits. Send the make and model, and dispatch tells you which trailer it goes on.
Do you handle oversize equipment?
Yes. Over width and over height machines go on the step deck or double drop, with permits and escorts arranged by dispatch and quoted after a route check.
Can the driver load a machine?
No. We don't carry ramps, so your site or yard loads the machine from a dock, with a loader or by crane. Our drivers secure machines. They don't operate them.
How is equipment secured?
Chained at the manufacturer's 4 tie down points, with attachments chained separately and tracks and tires chocked.
