Need to Ship Exercise Machines?

Gym equipment can be a costly investment, but it doesn’t have to be. Most pieces of gym equipment exceed the weight limits for parcel shipping, registering them as freight. Whether you’re buying, selling, or relocating your gym equipment, FreightCenter can help you with shipping exercise machines safely and affordably.

When shipping exercise machines and other large or heavy objects, LTL freight shipping is likely to be the most cost-effective option.

How to Prepare Exercise Machines for LTL Shipping

LTL freight shipments are loaded and unloaded several times before reaching their destination. They travel with dozens of other shipments that may shift around during transit. It’s important to properly package and secure your equipment before shipping.

Preparation

Refer to the owner’s manual first. It should specify whether any special handling is necessary.

Break down your equipment into smaller pieces. Wrap individual pieces as much as possible to prevent rubbing or friction during transit.

Fold down arms or extensions. Remove accessories like cup holders and trays. Remove items such as cords, loose weights, or pulleys.

Packaging

Securing loose items and boxing small pieces is a must. Remove casters and check if your equipment has any lock settings to prevent moving parts from moving during transit. Palletize or crate the exercise equipment and any individually-packed pieces.

Use large moving blankets, padding, or cardboard to protect the surface areas of your equipment from scratches.

Shipping

Measure the dimensions of the entire shipment (including packaging) and get the total weight.
