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

Garden equipment shipment is one of the most common types of transportation that we may need in our life. Some garden equipment – usually smaller accessories (such as shovels, scissors and much more) – you will be able to safely transport in your car booth or even on the backseat. Matters get a bit more complicated when you want to ship some garden supplies bigger in dimensions as well as weight, for example a mower.

Shipping a lawnmower seems like a quite easy job. If you have a vehicle that’s spacious enough, you most likely are considering transporting it by yourself. Shipping a mower by yourself is obviously possible but it takes some knowledge and preparation. First of all, it is important to drain the mower from all the fluids. Flooding filters with fuel can lead to serious damage. And even after you empty the mower from all the fluids, it is safest to ship a mower standing. It is also crucial to ship a mower in a container that’s as close to its size as possible. If you can, you should ship it in its original box (it’s best fitted to its size), however if you no longer have it, any cardboard could work, if its size is right. The most important rule is that after placing the mower inside a cardboard, there should be little to none free space left. Use foam chips or newspapers to fill the free space (it will help to absorb any shocks during transportation).

Some of the garden equipment is much too big to ship it by yourself. So whenever you need to transport for example an agricultural mower, you’ll require assistance from a professional hauler – a person who will have both knowledge as well as vehicle fitted to safely ship your garden equipment. Using a transport company is often quite expensive, but happily there is more than one way you can find an expert hauler. To get professional transport in acceptable price, consider using a transport marketplace, like Clicktrans.

You can list your delivery for free and gather quotes from haulers from different places of Europe. If any of the haulers are going to travel on similar route to the route you need, your delivery can be a partial load, which will help to lower the price of the transport considerably.  Moreover using a transport marketplace to find a hauler will allow you to reach directly the person who will be transporting your garden equipment. Thanks to that you can work out all the details of the job and make sure, that your cargo will be shipped harmlessly.

When it comes to shipping garden equipment, shielding it against weather conditions is less important as garden equipment is clearly dedicated for working outside. What is the most important when shipping garden machinery, is ensuring that the cargo is shielded from mechanical damages. If your garden machinery is too big to put it in a box, you may use pieces of Styrofoam, bubble wrap or even pieces of newspaper to wrap the most fragile elements for example blades as well as all the parts that protrude from the machine.

When searching for the best transport provider it is always smart to check out feedback left by former customers. Additionally when you want to ship some larger, costly garden equipment it is good to ask if the hauler you are considering has carrier liability insurance. Thanks to that if anything happens to your cargo during transportation, you will receive some compensation.

Is there anything else you should bear in mind when shipping garden equipment? If your equipment is powered by electricity, you need to let it rest for couple of hours after shipment before you start using it again. It’s especially important if the garden equipment is shipped in lower temperatures (around sub-zero temperatures).
