Back Lake Barge FAQ
Direct answers about heavy deck barges, charter terms, and global delivery.
- 8 ft is the maximum width that ships on a standard flatbed truck without an oversize-load permit in most Canadian and US jurisdictions. That means faster, cheaper, more flexible mobilization to remote sites.
- Yes — they stack two-high on a flatbed, so a single truck delivers two sections in one load. This is the fastest way to get barge capacity into a back-country job site.
- No — the Back Lake series uses a narrower 8 ft width, so they pin to other Back Lake sections only. They share the same pin-flange engineering principles.
