We updated this page on October 26, 2026 from the public catalogues of Mack Auction, Michener Allen, Premier Auctions, Ritchie Bros and Team Auctions. The counts cover heavy-haul lots only, the machines that move on a flatbed, step deck or RGN. The ranges are the middle half of real Trusted Dispatch estimates at the current service rate; half of real moves land inside them. Distances are typical road distances from the yard to the province’s main market. Confirm sale dates and removal deadlines with the auction house.
How much does it cost to ship an auction win?
A machine 900 km away can still be the better buy once you know what the haul costs. The ranges below cover one machine leaving a Western Canadian or Ontario yard, all-in for the carrier and the Trusted Dispatch service, before 5% GST. Oversize loads, overweight loads and anything needing permits cost more.
| Distance | All-in cost (CAD, before GST) |
|---|---|
| Under 300 km (local)Nisku to Edmonton area, Rycroft to Grande Prairie | C$900 to C$1,900 |
| 300 to 600 kmNisku to Calgary, Saskatoon to Edmonton | C$1,550 to C$2,850 |
| 600 to 1,000 kmChilliwack to Calgary, Saskatoon to Winnipeg | C$2,250 to C$5,100 |
| 1,000 to 1,600 kmNisku to Winnipeg, Brandon to Calgary | C$3,100 to C$7,650 |
| 1,600 km and up (cross-country)Chilliwack to Manitoba, Alberta to Ontario | C$5,200 to C$14,050 |
We take the middle half of real Trusted Dispatch estimates for Canadian pickups requested since January 2026 (the 25th to 75th percentile), at the current service rate, rounded to the nearest C$50. The figures line up with the Canadian Heavy Haul Rate Index and the city breakdowns in heavy equipment shipping rates by city. Short hauls cost more per kilometre because minimum charges dominate.
Spec drives cost more than distance does. Width, height and weight decide the trailer, whether the load counts as oversize, and whether you need permits and pilot cars. See the province rules for Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba and Ontario and the East.

Send us the make and model of the lot you are watching. We pull the specs, match the trailer and send you one all-in number, so you know what the machine costs delivered before the hammer falls.
Frequently asked questions
How long do I have to remove equipment after an auction?
It varies by house and yard, from a few days to a couple of weeks after the sale closes, with storage fees after that. The removal deadline sits on the lot page and on your invoice. Book transport before the deadline. The yard clock starts the moment you win.
Who loads my machine at the auction yard?
Most large yards have loadout staff and equipment on site during the removal window, but the carrier needs to know the machine, the yard and your release paperwork before the truck rolls. Send the make and model and we confirm the trailer fit first.
Can I ship an auction win to the United States?
Yes. Machines bought at Canadian yards and headed south are cross-border moves and need a customs broker and export paperwork. Get the estimate first so the freight is in your bid math.
Why is the cross-country range so wide?
The machine decides it. A compact track loader and a 40-tonne excavator can leave the same yard for the same city and cost very different amounts once trailer class, permits and pilot cars come in. We estimate per lot, not per kilometre, for that reason.
