How to Prepare an ATV Snow Plow for Shipping

It’s important to properly prepare ATV snow plows for transportation to ensure their safe delivery. Here are a few steps FreightCenter recommends to prepare ATV snow plows for transit.

Prepare Plow:
Before you send your plow off for shipping:
- Ensure it is clean of dust or debris.

- Disassemble the snow plow if possible to reduce its overall size and weight, which makes shipping easier and more cost-effective.
Packaging & Crating:
Packaging and crating are essential to a successful shipment, so take the time to do it properly. Use sturdy materials, such as cardboard, foam, and wooden crates, to hold the ATV. Secure the plow inside the packaging using padding and straps to prevent it from shifting and potential damage.
Labeling & Documentation:
Another critical step is to label your shipment clearly with the recipient’s address, return address, and any special handling instructions required. Your FreightCenter agent will assist you with documentation, ensuring you fill out all the necessary forms accurately, such as the bill of lading, commercial invoices, and customs documentation, and have everything you need.

FreightCenter Offers Optimal Transportation Options For Shipping ATV Snow Plows
Choosing the best method of transportation for shipping your ATV snow plow is essential. FreightCenter offers a wide range of transportation methods that ensure the safe and dependable transport and delivery of your cargo, each with their own advantages.
Less-Than-Truckload (LTL): Shipping a smaller ATV snow plow or parts of a plow? Sometimes, shipments don’t require a full trailer.

Ocean Freight Transportation: Need to ship an ATV snow plow to a different continent? No problem. Ocean freight is a cost-effective option for internationally shipping heavy and large items like ATV snow plows. While ocean freight has longer transit times, it is still a reliable and safe option for shipping your ATV snow plow across the world.
