Long-Haul Machinery Transport Across Northern Ontario
Greater Sudbury is one of Canada’s largest mining centres, and equipment often needs to move between Sudbury and projects in Northwestern Ontario — a machine bought from a Sudbury dealer, equipment heading to a new contract out west, or a unit going in for specialized repair. Floats N Tows provides long-distance heavy equipment hauling between Thunder Bay, the Northwest, and Sudbury.
The roughly 1,000 km trip along Highway 17 — through Marathon, Wawa, and Sault Ste. Marie — demands careful planning around weather, long grades on the Lake Superior shore, and seasonal load restrictions. We load at ground level with hydraulic beaver-tail ramps, secure every machine with rated chains and binders, and keep you updated directly from pickup to delivery.
We support contractors, industrial suppliers, and property owners across Greater Sudbury with complete transportation services — including machinery float hauling, commercial demolition transport, site development support, bulk aggregate delivery, scrap metal transport, and winter road logistics.
