Garden Equipment Transport to/from Ireland – save up to 60%

Garden machine shipment is one of the most popular kinds of shipment that we might need in our life. Some garden accessories – mostly smaller supplies (like shovels, scissors and much more) – you can safely transport in your car trunk or even on the backseat. Things become a bit more difficult when you want to ship some garden supplies larger in dimensions and heavyness, like a mower.

Transporting a lawnmower seems to be a rather straightforward task. If you possess a car that’s big enough, you probably are thinking about transporting it by yourself. Transporting a mower by yourself is of course doable but it takes a bit of knowledge and preparation. Firstly, it is important to empty the machine from all the fluids. Flooding filters with fuel can cause real damage. Even when you empty the mower from all the fluids, it is good to ship a mower standing. It is also crucial to ship a lawnmower in a container that’s as fitted to its dimensions as it can. If you can, you should transport it in its initial box (it is best fitted to its size), however if you no longer have it, any box could work, if it’s in the right size. The most important thing is that when you placed the mower in a cardboard, there should be as little free space left as possible. Use Styrofoam or newspapers to put in the empty spaces (it will help to lessen any shocks during shipment).

There is garden equipment that is much too big to transport it by yourself. Therefore whenever you have to ship e.g. a tractor mower, you’ll require assistance from an expert transport provider – someone who has both knowledge as well as vehicle necessary to safely ship your garden equipment. Using a transport company is often rather costly, but happily there is more than one place where you can get an expert transport provider. To find professional transport in reasonable price, try using a transport marketplace, like Clicktrans.

You may list your delivery free of charge and wait for quotes from transport providers from all over Europe. If any of the haulers happen to go on similar route to the route you require, your load can be a part of his load, which will allow you to lower the price of the shipment significantly.  Additionally using a transport marketplace to find a hauler allows you to communicate directly with the person who is going to be transporting your garden equipment. Thanks to that you may work out all the details of the transport job and ensure, that your cargo will be transported harmlessly.

Whenever shipping garden equipment, shielding it against weather conditions is not that important as garden equipment is clearly dedicated for working outside. What is the most important when shipping garden machinery, is making sure that the cargo is protected against mechanical damages. If your garden machinery is too huge to put it inside a cardboard, you can use some Styrofoam, bubble foil or even pieces of newspaper to wrap the most vulnerable parts such as blades as well as all the parts that protrude from the machine.

When choosing the best transport provider it is always smart to read feedback left by previous customers. Also when you have to transport some larger, expensive garden equipment it is good to ask if the transport provider you are thinking about has carrier liability insurance. Thanks to that if anything happens to your load on the road, you will receive some compensation.

What else you have to remember when shipping garden equipment? If your machine is powered by electricity, remember to let it rest for couple of hours after transportation before turning it on again. It’s particularly significant if the garden equipment was transported in lower temperatures (around sub-zero temperatures).
