Flatbed Transport in Laval for Heavy and Oversized Loads
Need flatbed transport in Laval for a load that won't fit inside a closed trailer? Drapeau Transport moves heavy, oversized and awkward freight across Laval and the North Shore, with delivery straight to your site.
Operating since 1986
Trailers: 30, 48 and 53 ft
Serving Laval and the North Shore
Whether you're on a construction site in central Laval or running a plant in one of the area's industrial parks, our flatbed setup is made for moving exactly this kind of load.
What is flatbed transport and when do you need it?
Flatbed transport uses open trailers with no walls or roof, so cargo can be lifted on from the side or the top.
It's the right call when a load is too tall, too wide or too heavy for an enclosed truck, or when it has to be craned or forklifted off on arrival.
Think structural steel, building materials, or industrial machinery.
Flatbed coverage across Laval and the surrounding region
Working out of Laval keeps us close to a lot of active job sites, in the city itself and across the wider region. From here we reach the North Shore and the Laurentides quickly, and we cross into Montreal just as easily when a project sits on the other side of the river.
Laval also keeps growing, with new residential developments, commercial builds and expanding industrial zones, and all of that activity needs heavy materials delivered on schedule. We know how to get a flatbed onto a site, unloaded and back out without holding up your crew.
The Moffett truck advantage
Every Drapeau truck carries a Moffett forklift mounted right on the rig.
When we arrive, we unload your materials ourselves and set them down exactly where you want them, with no crane, no extra crew and nothing to rent on your end.
On a busy Laval site, that's one less thing to organize and one less gap between the drop and getting back to work.

What we haul on our flatbed trailers
Our trailers take on a wide mix of heavy and oversized freight. The loads we carry most often across Laval include:
- Lumber and engineered wood products
- Structural steel and metal components
- Paving stones, concrete blocks and crushed stone
- Bagged cement, mortar and masonry supplies
- Industrial machinery and heavy equipment
- Palletized goods that need open-side or overhead loading
Available in 30, 48 and 53 ft configurations, our trailers adapt to everything from a quick drop in a residential zone to a full load bound for a regional project.
A flatbed carrier that knows Laval and the North Shore
Drapeau Transport has run flatbed routes through the Greater Montreal area for close to four decades.
In Laval, that experience shows up in the details: the right trailer for the load, a route that dodges the worst of the traffic, and a driver who knows where to stage once on site.
We offer full truckload (FTL) service when you need a dedicated trailer, plus flexible options for smaller or recurring hauls.
We also handle flatbed transport in Montreal when a project runs on both sides of the river.

Types de services de transport sur plateau offerts à Montréal
Transport complet (FTL)
Le service de transport complet sur plateau (FTL) est utilisé lorsqu’un seul envoi occupe toute la remorque.
Cette option convient aux chargements lourds ou volumineux à livrer directement, sans transfert intermédiaire. Elle réduit les manipulations, raccourcit les délais de livraison et assure une meilleure sécurité du chargement.
Drapeau Transport propose ce service avec des remorques réservées à un seul client, parfaites pour les matériaux de construction, les équipements ou le fret industriel à délai serré.
Transport partiel (LTL)
Pour les envois de plus petite taille ne nécessitant pas l’usage d’une remorque complète, le transport partiel sur plateau (LTL) permet de regrouper plusieurs chargements dans un seul camion.
Cette solution convient aux marchandises sur palettes, au fret mixte ou aux livraisons dont le calendrier est plus souple.
Elle représente une alternative économique pour les entreprises qui ont besoin d’un transport sur plateau sans mobiliser un véhicule au complet.
Transport spécialisé sur plateau pour les marchandises lourdes ou hors normes
Certaines cargaisons dépassent les dimensions ou les limites de poids habituellement acceptées. Nos services spécialisés couvrent le transport de machines, d’acier de structure et d’autres marchandises nécessitant une planification d’itinéraire, des permis et des remorques renforcées.
Drapeau Transport prend en charge ces expéditions avec des remorques adaptées aux formats volumineux ou irréguliers, tout en assurant la sécurité des chargements selon la réglementation provinciale en vigueur.

Frequently asked questions about flatbed transport in Laval
1. What kind of cargo suits a flatbed trailer?
Flatbeds are built for freight that's heavy, oversized or oddly shaped, the kind of load that won't fit through the rear door of a closed trailer. Common examples are steel beams, lumber, paving stone, machinery and palletized building materials.
2. What is a Moffett truck?
It's a flatbed truck fitted with its own onboard forklift. The driver unloads and positions your materials on site without any crane or equipment from you, which saves real time on tight or busy job sites.
3. Do you offer FTL flatbed service in Laval?
Yes. When you need a full, dedicated trailer, we run full truckload hauls with direct delivery and no transfers along the way. We also take on smaller and recurring loads.
4. Which areas around Laval do you cover?
We serve all of Laval, plus the North Shore, the Laurentides and the wider Montreal region. Send us your delivery address and we'll confirm coverage for your route.
