FreightCenter will help you find the best route/transportation for your free weights with the most reliable carriers in the network.
Shipping Weights
When preparing weights for shipment, ensure they are clean without dust or residue. If you are shipping free weights or kettlebells, wrapping them individually with bubble wrap sheets is essential. Cover all sides of the weight and secure the covering with strong tape.
Taking the time to wrap up your weights will help prevent damage, scratches, and transit impact. Feel free to wrap up protruding elements or handles with additional bubble wrap or foam padding layers. The same principles apply to shipping weight plates; always inspect and wrap the weight plates with bubble wrap and or foam padding before shipping.
Secure weights tightly together when shipping multiple weights to avoid movement or collision. Additional packaging materials and bubble wrap can fill empty spaces between the weights. Next, considering the weight and dimensions of the free weights, choose a sturdy box or crate that can withstand the weights and the additional protective packaging needed.
Once the weights are placed carefully inside the box, ensure they will not shift around by utilizing additional padding materials between the weights. Packing peanuts, crumpled paper, and bubble wrap are great options to ensure the equipment remains snug.
Use strong packaging tape to secure the shipping box closed, sealing all seams and openings. Make sure to obtain accurate dimensions information before shipping. This information includes (length, width, height & weight). Taking the time to properly package your weights for shipment will help prevent damage and potential loss.
