Why Shipping Commercial Appliances Is Challenging
Moving large, complex equipment isn’t as simple as loading it onto a truck. Here are a few reasons why shipping commercial appliances can be especially challenging:
- Proper Lifting Equipment: Commercial appliances are often extremely heavy, making them difficult and sometimes unsafe to move without specialized equipment like pallet jacks, forklifts, or lift gates. Proper handling ensures both the safety of the team and the protection of the equipment.
- Sensitivity: Many appliances contain delicate control panels, sensors, and internal components. Even minor vibrations during transport can cause misalignment or damage, which is why secure packing and cushioning are so critical.
- Preparation: Freezers, chillers, and other appliances often contain coolants, water, or oils that can leak or shift in transit. Preparing the unit by draining or properly securing these elements prevents spills, damage, or safety hazards.
- Item Size & Weight: Unlike standard boxes, commercial appliances come in all shapes and sizes. Custom crating or palletizing ensures stability during transport and prevents tipping or shifting.
- Downtime: Every day an essential appliance is out of service can mean lost productivity and revenue for a business. Safe, efficient packing and shipping minimizes downtime so operations can resume quickly.
