How Do You Prepare Backup Power Systems for Ltl Freight Shipping?
You save money with LTL (less-than-truckload) shipping because your shipment shares the truck with loads from other shippers. It’s important that your cargo be packaged so it will not be damaged in transit and will not present a danger to other shipments on the truck. Industrial-class backup power supplies with built-in controls should be shipped in crates for optimal protection. If the crate is built from double-walled cardboard, make sure corner protection is added in case the package is bumped in transit.

Three Things You Didn't Know About Shipping Power Generation Equipment
Some Power Generation Equipment Is Massive
Some power generation equipment is as large as a house and can weight over 400 tons. Shipping massive equipment often requires custom-built containers, reinforced trucks, and heavy-lift cranes. FreightCenter handles oversized shipments with precision.
Modular Designs Are Key
Many large generators or turbines are designed to be disassembled into smaller modules for easier shipping. These modules are then reassembled on-site. It's essential to ensure you package each module correctly and securely to prevent damage during transit.
Temperature Control Is Crucial
Some components, like high-end generator control systems or sensitive electronics, must be kept at strict temperature ranges during transit. We offer temperature controlled shipping services for sensitive power generation equipment components.
