Hazardous Materials

Certified and compliant transport for dangerous goods with maximum safety.

HAZMAT

What Is Hazardous Materials Transport?

Hazardous materials — often referred to as HAZMAT — include any substances that pose potential risks to health, safety, property, or the environment during transportation. These can range from flammable liquids and corrosive chemicals to gases, explosives, or even biological agents.

Transporting hazardous goods isn’t like delivering general freight. It demands strict regulatory compliance, specially trained drivers, and carefully maintained equipment to ensure safety on the road and at every stop along the way.

At A2E Cartage, we’re fully certified and equipped to handle a wide range of hazardous materials within Manitoba and throughout Canada. Our HAZMAT transport service adheres to all provincial and federal regulations — giving our clients peace of mind that their sensitive freight is in capable, compliant hands.
