Farm equipment and wide loads
Tractors, sprayers and implements ride on a step deck or double drop to keep the height down. Anything wider than 2.6 m (8 ft 6 in) needs an Ontario permit, and we handle it in house and use local escorts when the width calls for one. Send the length, width, height and weight with the quote request. More on oversize and overdimensional and equipment hauling.
