Industry‑Leading Heavy Haul & Super load Expertise

Rangeland is a recognized leader in overweight, over‑dimensional, specialized, and super load transportation solutions. Not all cargo fits neatly on a flatbed — and some of the most critical industrial components exceed standard weight, width, or height limits. That’s where our expertise matters.

Our team understands the regulatory landscape across provinces and states, and we supply the right trailers, axle spacing, and configurations to safely distribute weight, cross bridges, and navigate routes that would otherwise be restricted.

We deliver nationwide experience, proven processes, and the specialized equipment required to move your load safely, efficiently, and on budget.

Route Planning for Over‑Dimension & Overweight Loads

Moving oversized or overweight freight safely begins long before the wheels start turning. At Rangeland Truck and Crane, route planning is a disciplined, engineering‑driven process designed to protect your cargo, ensure regulatory compliance, and minimize risk to the public and our operators.

Every load is unique — and so is the route it requires. Height restrictions, bridge capacities, turning radiuses, construction zones, seasonal limitations, and municipal bylaws all influence what is possible. Our team evaluates every factor to determine the safest, most efficient path for your shipment.

We conduct detailed route studies that validate feasibility, identify potential hazards, and confirm that the proposed path can support the load’s dimensions, weight, and configuration. This upfront planning reduces delays, prevents costly surprises, and ensures a smooth, predictable move from origin to destination.

Physical Route Surveys

A successful heavy‑haul move depends on understanding every detail of the route long before transport begins. Rangeland conducts comprehensive physical route surveys to verify that the proposed path can safely accommodate the load’s height, width, weight, and turning requirements.

An experienced member of our team drives the entire route in advance, documenting real‑world conditions that cannot be captured through mapping software alone. This hands‑on assessment identifies potential challenges early, allowing our engineering and logistics teams to design solutions before the load ever leaves the yard.

During the physical survey, we evaluate:

  • Overhead obstructions such as power lines, bridges, signs, and vegetation

  • Turning radiuses and intersection geometry

  • Roadway widths, shoulders, and surface conditions

  • Railway crossings and grade changes

  • Staging, parking, and pull‑off areas

  • Site access and approach angles

  • Construction zones and temporary restrictions

This field‑verified data forms the foundation of a safe, compliant, and efficient transportation plan.

Engineering Analysis & Final Route Report

Once the physical route survey is complete, our in‑house engineering team transforms field data into a detailed, actionable route plan. This technical analysis ensures that every aspect of the move — from bridge capacities to turning geometry — is fully understood and accounted for before transport begins.

Using the information gathered on the ground, our engineers evaluate structural limitations, regulatory requirements, and equipment configurations to determine the safest and most efficient way to move your load. The result is a comprehensive route report that provides clarity, confidence, and a clear path forward for all stakeholders.

Your final route report includes:

  • Recommended and maximum shipping envelopes

  • Detailed route mapping and documentation

  • Region‑specific transportation regulations

  • Utility, municipal, and emergency‑service coordination

  • Permit pre‑submissions and regulatory requirements

  • Seasonal and weather‑related restrictions

  • Estimated travel times and convoy planning

  • Trailer configuration and axle‑spacing recommendations

  • Pilot‑vehicle and escort requirements

  • Bridge engineering and load‑path analysis

This engineering‑driven approach ensures your shipment is fully planned, fully compliant, and fully prepared for safe execution.

Permitting & Regulatory Coordination

Oversized and overweight transportation requires strict compliance with provincial, state, and federal regulations. Every jurisdiction has its own rules, weight limits, escort requirements, and seasonal restrictions — and navigating them incorrectly can result in delays, fines, or unsafe conditions. Rangeland manages this entire process on your behalf.

Our logistics and permitting specialists work directly with transportation authorities, municipalities, and utility partners to secure all required approvals before the move begins. By coordinating early and communicating clearly with regulatory bodies, we ensure your shipment is fully compliant and cleared for safe transit.

Our permitting and regulatory services include:

  • Oversize and overweight permit applications

  • Multi‑jurisdictional coordination across provinces and states

  • Utility notifications and overhead line clearances

  • Escort, pilot‑car, and police‑escort requirements

  • Hazardous‑material compliance (when applicable)

  • Seasonal load restrictions and thaw‑period planning

  • Municipal approvals and road‑use authorizations

  • Bridge‑weight compliance and engineering validation

This proactive approach eliminates uncertainty, reduces administrative burden, and ensures your project moves forward without regulatory interruptions.

Load Configuration & Equipment Selection

Every oversized or overweight shipment requires the right combination of trailers, axle groups, and support equipment to ensure safe transport. Rangeland’s engineering and logistics teams work together to determine the optimal configuration for your load based on weight distribution, center of gravity, structural integrity, and route constraints.

We evaluate the technical requirements of your cargo and match it with the most suitable equipment from our extensive fleet. This ensures compliance with bridge laws, maximizes stability, and minimizes stress on both the load and the transport infrastructure.

Our configuration process includes:

  • Selecting the appropriate trailer type and axle count

  • Engineering proper weight distribution across all axle groups

  • Determining securement methods and tie‑down requirements

  • Evaluating center‑of‑gravity and load‑balance considerations

  • Identifying turning, clearance, and articulation needs

  • Coordinating pilot vehicles and escort support

  • Ensuring compatibility with route restrictions and bridge capacities

This meticulous approach ensures your shipment is transported using the safest, most efficient, and most compliant equipment available.

Execution & On‑Road Management

Once planning, engineering, permitting, and equipment configuration are complete, the focus shifts to flawless execution. Rangeland’s transportation teams operate with precision, discipline, and constant communication to ensure every move is carried out safely and efficiently from start to finish.

Our operators, escort vehicles, and project managers work together in real time, monitoring conditions, adjusting to changing environments, and maintaining strict compliance with all regulatory requirements. Every mile is managed with the same level of care and attention that went into the planning process.
