How FreightCenter Helps Package Rotary Cutters for Shipping
Packaging rotary cutters properly for safe transportation is a crucial step in the shipping process. Here are several general steps that FreightCenter recommends to prepare a rotary cutter for safe and secure delivery to its destination.
Clean and Prepare: The first step in preparing your rotary cutter for shipping is to remove any debris from the machine if it has been used before. Make sure to check blades, brackets, and other components for any loose parts. Secure the loose parts so that they do not incur damage during transit.
Protect and Palletize: Next, wrap the rotary cutter in plastic wrap or heavy-duty tarps to protect it from moisture, dirt, and damage. Then, place the machine onto a sturdy pallet. A steel pallet is preferred over wood. For shipping long distances or for a delicate rotary cutter, consider using a custom-built wooden crate that can provide more protection. Due to their sharpness, the blades must have locks or protective coverings on them.
Cushion and Strap: After the rotary cutter is wrapped and placed onto a pallet, securely strap it to the pallet using heavy-duty straps, metal chains, or bungee cords. For added protection, using bubble wrap, foam sheets, or other packing materials to cushion the machine and prevent it from moving during transit is recommended.
Properly Label: Lastly, properly labeling the rotary cutter with instructions or precautions for added protection is a good idea. “Fragile” or “Handle with Care” can be written on the package.
How Much Does it Cost to Ship Rotary Cutters?
The cost of shipping rotary cutters can depend on multiple factors, such as the distance of the shipment, the type of rotary cutter being shipped, the shipping method, and any additional services required. In addition, shipping costs may change over time due to fluctuations in fuel prices and other factors.

Best Transportation Methods for Shipping Rotary Cutters
To ensure that your rotary cutter arrives at its destination safely and in optimal condition for use, choosing the best transportation method for your shipment is crucial. Here at FreightCenter, we offer a wide range of transportation methods that safely transport your rotary cutter. Before choosing which transportation method to ship your machine, you should consider factors like distance, transit time, packaging requirements, the size of your shipments, and cost. Several transportation methods and shipping services are available for shipping rotary cutters through FreightCenter, each with its own benefits.
Heavy Haul: When transporting a large rotary cutter or a bulk shipment of them, heavy haul shipping is often a solution due to the machine’s oversized weight and dimensions. Specialized trailers such as flatbeds or lowboys are utilized to accommodate the machine safely and securely. Whether shipping a short distance or a long distance, heavy haul is an optimal choice.
Full Truckload (FTL): Using truckload shipping for a rotary cutter is ideal when you’re shipping multiple cutters or a large machine that requires the full space of a truck trailer. Full truckload offers direct delivery with minimal handling, reducing the risk of damage during transit because your shipment is the only one on the truck. Because of this, delivery times may be shorter.
Rail Transportation: Shipping a rotary cutter across the country? Rail transportation is a cost-effective and efficient alternative to trucking, especially in bulk. Freight trains can easily handle heavy and oversized equipment, making transporting a rotary cutter easy. With rail transportation, it may be necessary to coordinate last-mile delivery services to deliver the cutter from the rail terminal to its final destination.
