Before the widespread use of railways, any cargo would likely be shipped by canal boat - heavy or otherwise. However, one of the largest requirements for the Industrial Revolution was for coal to be burned to generate power. Canals were the ideal medium (for a while) to ship these large cargoes long distances from coalfields to factories.
