FreightCenter Offers Optimal Transportation Options For Shipping Wheelchairs
Choosing the best method of transportation for shipping wheelchairs is essential. FreightCenter offers a wide range of transportation methods that ensure the safe and dependable transport and delivery of your shipment, each with their own advantages.
Less-Than-Truckload (LTL): Shipping a singular wheelchair or just a few? Sometimes, shipments don’t require a full trailer. Less-than-truckload allows you to take up the space you need in a truck trailer by shipping your wheelchair with other freight. While LTL may have longer transit times, it is a cost-effective option for shipping your wheelchair.
Full Truckload (FTL): Full truckload shipping allows your shipment to take up the entirety of the truck trailer – an ideal option for shipping large shipments of wheelchairs. FTL not only mitigates the risk of damge to your freight, but offers quicker transit times because your item is the only one on the truck – heading straight from the pickup location to the drop-off location.
Air Freight: Need to ship a wheelchair quickly to another country? No problem. Air freight is a fast and reliable option for internationally shipping mobility equipment like wheelchairs. While it can be more expensive than other methods, air freight ensures your wheelchair arrives safely and on time, making it ideal for urgent or time-sensitive shipments.
Expedited Shipping Services: Need to transport a wheelchair in short notice? Expedited shipping services prioritizes your shipment to ensure it arrives as quickly as possible. This shipping service is ideal when time is critical, helping you stay on schedule, and respond fast to urgent needs.
