Transportation of granite

Transportation of granite

Granite is a dense, heavy, and high-value material. Its transportation requires special attention at every stage: loading, securement, transport, unloading, and handling.

Our drivers apply proven methods to:

  • ensure strong and secure load fastening,
  • limit movement and vibrations,
  • protect granite surfaces and edges,
  • maintain consistent stability throughout the journey.

Each shipment is handled with care, from loading to final delivery, across the Quebec–Ontario–Maritimes corridor.

Equipment used

For granite transportation, we prioritize 4-axle Flatbed or Rolltite trailers equipped with air-ride suspension, combined with handling performed by trained personnel. This combination helps minimize vibrations, ensure optimal stability on the road, and protect the integrity of the granite throughout the entire journey.

Remorque Flatbed 2-3-4 essieux

4-Axle Flatbed with Air-Ride Suspension

An excellent choice for raw granite blocks and slabs.

Advantages:

  • Air-ride suspension that better absorbs vibrations and shocks compared to mechanical suspensions.
  • Improved longitudinal and lateral stability, essential for a dense and fragile material.
  • Precise and controlled load securement, suited to the varying formats of granite.
  • Direct access to the load for safe handling, supervised by trained personnel.
Remorque Rolltite (Conestoga) 4 essieux

4-Axle Rolltite

An excellent choice for finished slabs or when product protection is just as important as stability.

Advantages:

  • Same air-ride suspension quality as the flatbed.
  • Additional protection against rain, dust, and contaminants.
  • Side loading capability while maintaining good control.

At TSB, equipment selection and loading methods are always tailored to the type of granite being transported.
