Tractors & Implements

Utility tractors, row-crop tractors, 4WD articulated tractors, front-end loaders, and implements including plows, discs, and tillage tools. We match every piece to the right trailer and securement method.

Combines & Harvesters

Combine harvesters, swathers, forage harvesters, and grain carts. These wide, high-value machines require specialized trailers and careful route planning for safe transport.

Cranes & Lifting Equipment

Air seeders, seed drills, planters, and fertilizer applicators. Seasonal timing is critical — we coordinate transport to align with your planting and seeding windows.

Oversized & Overweight Loads

Self-propelled sprayers, large grain bins, irrigation pivots, and other oversize agricultural machinery requiring permits, route surveys, and escort coordination per Transport Canada regulations.

If your equipment type is not listed, contact us. If it rolls, harvests, plants, or processes on a farm, we can coordinate the move.

Transport Solutions for Modern Agriculture

Agricultural equipment moves are rarely isolated events. They are tied to planting schedules, harvest windows, crop rotations, and seasonal equipment relocations.

We work directly with:

  • Farm operations managers
  • Agricultural co-ops & auctioneers
  • Custom harvest operators
  • Grain & livestock producers

Whether you are moving a single combine or coordinating multiple loads across provinces for harvest season, we align transport with your operational timeline.

Agricultural Equipment TranSport FAQ

How should farm equipment be prepared before shipping?2026-05-13T22:57:41+00:00

Before transport, attachments should be removed or secured where possible, measurements should be confirmed, and the pickup and delivery sites should be checked for loading access. Proper preparation helps avoid delays, rework, and permit problems once the move is scheduled.

What trailer is used for agricultural equipment transport?2026-05-13T22:57:38+00:00

The best trailer depends on the size and configuration of the equipment. Smaller tractors or implements may move on a flatbed or step deck, while larger or taller units often require a lowboy or other specialized trailer to stay within legal transport limits.

What information do I need for a transport quote?2026-05-13T22:57:34+00:00

You should provide the make and model, exact dimensions, weight, pickup and delivery locations, whether attachments are included, and any site access issues that could affect loading.

Can farm equipment be shipped between BC and Alberta?2026-05-13T22:57:25+00:00

Yes. Many agricultural equipment shipments move between BC and Alberta, but cross-provincial moves often require tighter route planning because of terrain, permit rules, and seasonal restrictions.

When should I book agricultural equipment transport?2026-05-13T22:57:18+00:00

As early as possible, especially before spring planting and fall harvest periods. Those are high-demand windows for specialized trailers and experienced heavy haul coordination.

What farm equipment usually needs oversize permits?2026-05-13T22:57:13+00:00

Wider tractors, combines, seeders, sprayers, and implements often exceed legal transport widths and may need oversize permits, especially when attachments remain installed during transport.
