TDG Certified
Dangerous Goods Transport
We hold a current Transportation of Dangerous Goods (TDG) certificate, so we can legally haul regulated loads that most crane and flatbed operators have to turn down — refrigerant and compressed gas cylinders, propane, fuel drums, batteries, paints and solvents, and chemicals in drums or totes. Send us the UN number and class with your quote request and we'll confirm what we can carry.
Learn moreWhy 401 Express
Multiple trucks. Transport + crane, handled together.
Most jobs need something moved and lifted into place. Our crane-equipped flatbeds do both — so you deal with one experienced operator instead of coordinating a trucking company and a separate crane.
- No juggling separate transport and crane crews — it's one call.
- You deal directly with the operator running the truck.
- Fully insured — liability and cargo coverage on every job.
- WSIB covered, Working at Heights and TDG certified.
- Careful, safety-first rigging and equipment handling.
- Free quotes — send photos and we'll bring the right setup.

Frequently asked questions
What can your crane truck lift? +
Our crane-equipped flatbed handles loads up to a 8 tons — including rooftop AC and HVAC units (RTUs), condensing units, exhaust fans, steel beams, shipping containers, hot tubs, generators, machinery and construction materials.
What areas do you serve? +
We serve Toronto and the entire Greater Toronto Area, including Mississauga, Brampton, Vaughan, Markham, Richmond Hill, Scarborough, North York, Etobicoke, Pickering, Ajax, Aurora, Newmarket and Whitchurch-Stouffville.
How high and how far can you reach? +
Our boom trucks offer up to 65 ft of reach, ideal for placing equipment on rooftops, over buildings and into hard-to-access areas.
Do you handle both transport and lifting? +
Yes. Because we run a crane-equipped flatbed truck, we can transport your equipment to the site and use the onboard crane to unload and place it — no need to coordinate separate trucking and crane companies.
Do you work with elevator contractors? +
Yes — the elevator industry is one of our specialties. We deliver guide rails, cab components, counterweights and machine-room equipment to job sites across the GTA, including tight downtown high-rise locations, and hoist them into place.
Can you lift furniture or appliances into a condo or upper floor? +
Yes. If a sofa, mattress, fridge, piano or safe won’t fit in the elevator or round the stairwell, we can hoist it to a balcony or upper-floor window instead. Send photos of the building, the balcony or window it’s going through, and where we can park — that tells us straight away whether the lift is workable.
Can you transport dangerous goods? +
Yes. We hold a current Transportation of Dangerous Goods (TDG) certificate, so we can legally carry regulated loads — refrigerant and compressed gas cylinders, propane, fuel drums, batteries, paints, solvents and chemicals in drums or totes. Send the UN number, shipping name and class with your quote request. A few goods need an Emergency Response Assistance Plan or extra permits beyond TDG training, and we'll tell you right away if yours is one of them.
Are you licensed and insured? +
Yes. We carry liability and cargo insurance, are WSIB covered, and our operators are Working at Heights certified. If your site needs proof of coverage before we attend, just ask when you request a quote and we'll send it over.
How do I get a quote? +
Call 647-921-6872 or use our online quote form. Photos of the pickup and lift locations, plus the item's weight, size and lift height, help us quote accurately and bring the right setup.
