Save Time & Money When Shipping Wheelchairs
Whether you operate a company that sells wheelchairs to people all over the country or are shipping one wheelchair for yourself or a family member, the following tips will help you save time and money.
Should Wheelchairs Be Shipped as Parcels or Freight?
Some lighter wheelchairs might be eligible for parcel shipping, but the vast majority of wheelchairs need to be shipped as freight due to their weight (over 150 lb.) and size. Freight shipping can seem daunting and expensive, but it doesn’t have to be. Unless you are shipping an entire truckload of wheelchairs, your shipment will be classified and priced as LTL (less-than-truckload). That means it will be consolidated with loads from other shippers onto one truck, thereby saving all the shippers money. Proper packaging of your wheelchair is critical to shipping success.

How Do You Prepare a for LTL Freight Shipping?
Your wheelchair may be loaded and unloaded several times before it’s delivered. It will share a truck with dozens of other shipments that could shift around during transit. To avoid damages during shipping, you must adequately package your wheelchair. Review your wheelchair’s owner’s manual for special instructions on breaking down and transporting your equipment. If your wheelchair can be folded or taken apart, do so. Crate your wheelchair or secure it to a pallet. FreightCenter 800.716.7608 can help you find crating services. Or, you can build your custom crate. If securing a pallet with bands, wrap the wheelchair in styrofoam, double-walled cardboard, and shrink wrap.
