FreightCenter Provides Affordable Transportation Options For Shipping Machine Parts
To keep your machine parts safe, choosing the best and most affordable transportation method for your shipment is essential. At FreightCenter, we offer a wide range of options that keep your machine parts in optimal condition for a smooth and successful delivery. Factors to take into consideration when shipping machine parts include transit time, distance, packaging requirements, and cost. We offer various methods for shipping machine parts, each with its own advantages.
Less-Than-Truckload (LTL): Less-than-truckload (LTL) is a cost-effective option for transporting smaller machine parts like fasteners or gears. Only utilize the space you need in a truck trailer by having your shipment share space with other shipments. While the transit time may be slightly longer, LTL offers reliable and efficient delivery while reducing costs.
Full Truckload (FTL): Full truckload (FTL) is ideal for high-volume shipments or shipments of larger machine parts that require the entire space of a truck. FTL ensures faster transit times and minimizes handling, reducing the risk of damage to the machine parts because your freight is the only one on the truck.
Rail Freight Transportation: Rail transportation is a cost-effective and convenient option for shipping large machine parts long distances. It allows for the transportation of heavy or oversized machine parts in bulk, offering environmental benefits for cross-country shipping.
Heavy Haul Shipping: FreightCenter offers heavy haul shipping options for shipping heavy or oversized machine parts. This shipping service utilizes specialized trailers like flatbed trucks, route optimization, and, in certain cases, road assistance.

Three Things You Didn't Know About Shipping Machine Parts
Machine Parts With Oil or Grease Are Classified as Hazmat
Small amounts of fluids left in machine parts can be considered as hazmat, and be subject to hazardous material regulations, affecting how the part is packed and labeled. Talk with your expert freight agent to ensure your machine parts are thoroughly cleaned.
Some Machine Parts Require Vibration-Proof Packaging
Some machine parts like precision gears or medical devices must be packed to withstand G-force or vibration, especially if being shipped via air freight. Utilizing foam inserts or specialized vibration isolators can protect the machine parts during transit.
Some Machine Parts Must Be Shipped in Climate-Controlled Trailers
Precision components like sensors, robotic parts, or optical instruments may need temperature and humidity controls to avoid malfunction. FreightCenter offers temperature-controlled freight services for machine parts that may need extra protection.
