Specialized transportation

High-value cargo, handled one piece at a time.

Some items need more than a moving truck. We transport medical and lab equipment, artwork, trade-show displays, machinery and safes for businesses, with custom crating, the right lifting equipment and a clear record of who handled each piece.

How it works

How we move specialized items.

01 Assess the item We look at the item, its weight and both locations, then send a fixed quote and a handling plan.
02 Crate & load The crew builds or fits a crate, loads with the right equipment and records the pickup.
03 Deliver & sign off We deliver, uncrate and place the item where you need it, and you sign off on its condition.
Pricing

What shapes a specialized transport quote.

Specialized moves are a fixed price set after we assess the item. These make the biggest difference:

See all starting prices →
Size and weight Oversized or very heavy items need more crew and larger equipment.
Crating Custom-built crates take time and material to make.
Access Stairs, tight doorways and loading-dock limits at either end change how the item is moved.
Distance and route Local, interprovincial and cross-border trips are priced on the route.
FAQ

What kinds of items do you move?

Medical and lab equipment, artwork, trade-show displays, machinery, safes and other high-value, oversized or sensitive items.

Will you recalibrate or install equipment?

No. We move and place the item. Calibration, installation and testing should be done by the maker or your technician.

How is a high-value item covered?

Basic liability of $0.60 per pound per item is included. For high-value items, we recommend full replacement-value coverage.
