How to Transport Machinery

Transporting machinery with uShip is as easy as 1, 2, 3!

1 | Create Your Listing

Shipping machinery requires planning. Start by creating a shipment listing that details your machinery transportation needs. The more information you can provide in the listing, the more accurate quote that you will be provided. Include the following information:

• Consider your dates, timeframe, and locations for both pickup and delivery.
• Do your best to know any special equipment the transporter may need to load or unload your shipment.
• Be prepared with the make, model, dimensions, and weight of the machinery.
• Include any tool heads or extra items that need to be shipped alongside.
• Notate if you’d like it crated and if any hazardous or flammable liquids are present.
• Upload photos of the equipment if possible.

2 | Choose the Best Machinery Shipping Company

Once your shipment listing is complete, you’ll start getting rates from transporters as they compete to be awarded your machinery shipment. This ensures that you get the best shipping rates from the most reliable heavy haul companies. As the quotes come in, make sure to ask the transporters questions about their services and experience in shipping machinery like yours.

Furthermore, every transporter with uShip has a carrier profile with their transportation history, safety records, and customer rated feedback. Be sure you review these profiles to find out more about the transporters’ history with machinery shipping and the experiences their previous customers have had. You can also make sure they have any special licensing they may need and see that they have cargo insurance to cover your equipment. After talking with the transporters and reviewing their profiles, you can feel confident you’re choosing the best machinery shipping company. If you are needing additional reassurance for your items, cargo insurance can be purchased through uShip.
