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

Garden equipment shipment is among the most popular kinds of transportation that we may need in our life. Some garden accessories – mostly smaller accessories (like shovels, leaf blowers and so on) – you can safely transport in your car booth or even on the backseat. Matters become a bit more difficult when you want to ship any garden accessories larger in size as well as heavyness, for example a mower.

Transporting a lawnmower seems like a quite easy job. If you possess a car that’s big enough, you most likely are considering shipping it by yourself. Transporting a lawnmower by yourself is obviously possible however it takes some knowledge as well as preparation. First of all, you have to empty 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 liquids, it is best to transport a mower vertical. It is also important to transport a mower in a container that is as close to its dimensions as it can. Ideally, you should ship it in its initial box (it is best fitted to its dimensions), however if you don’t have it anymore, any cardboard could work, assuming it’s in the right size. The most important thing is that when you placed the lawnmower in a container, there must be as little free space left as possible. Use foam chips or newspapers to fill the free space (it will help to absorb any vibrations during shipment).

There is garden equipment that is much too large to ship it by yourself. Therefore if you need to transport e.g. an agricultural mower, you’ll need help from a professional transport provider – someone who will have both experience as well as vehicle necessary to harmlessly transport your garden equipment. Hiring a transport company is often rather costly, but fortunately it’s not the only way you can get an expert transport provider. To get professional shipment in reasonable price, try using a transport marketplace, like Clicktrans.

You can list your delivery free of charge and gather quotes from haulers from all over Europe. If any of the haulers are going to travel on similar route to the one you require, your delivery can be a partial load, which can help to lower the price of the service significantly.  Moreover using a transport marketplace to hire a transport provider will allow you to communicate directly with the person who will be transporting your garden equipment. That way you can discuss all the details of the transport job and ensure, that your load will be transported safely.

When it comes to transporting garden equipment, shielding it against atmospheric conditions is of less importance because garden equipment is clearly dedicated for working outside. What is the most important whenever shipping garden machinery, is making sure that the cargo is shielded from mechanical damages. If your garden machinery is too huge to place it in a cardboard, you can use some Styrofoam, bubble wrap or even pieces of newspaper to cover the most vulnerable elements for example handles as well as all the parts that protrude from the machine.

When searching for the right transport provider it is always smart to check out reviews given by former customers. Additionally when you want to transport some larger, costly garden equipment it is good to ask if the hauler you are considering has carrier liability insurance. Thanks to that should anything happen to your load during transportation, you will be entitled to some compensation.

Is there anything else you should remember when shipping garden equipment? If your machine is powered by electricity, remember to let it rest for couple of hours after shipment before you start using it once more. It’s especially important when the garden equipment was transported in lower temperatures (close to sub-zero temperatures).
