What to choose for shipping a pumping solution: LTL or FTL?

A full truckload (FTL) means having enough product to fill an entire truck. The advantage of shipping pumping solutions in an FTL is that you can ship more products and save money on shipping. However, you may choose less truckload (LTL) if you have fewer products.

How much does it cost to ship a pump?

Shipping pumps will be charged based on the number of cubic feet they're estimated to contain — but since there's no standard size for pumps, this can be an uncertain process for buyers and sellers alike. We're here to help you find out how much shipping will cost for your specific pump.

Pump Trailer Options

Our Available Trailers for Shipping Pumps

Our available trailers are as diverse as the pumps they carry, from lightweight solutions to heavy-duty options that support oversized equipment moves.

Step Deck Trailer: The step deck trailer is a high-capacity, lightweight trailer that can quickly move your pump. The step deck design provides a platform for easy access to the pump without bending over or climbing on top of the trailer.

RGN Trailer: RGN trailer is an excellent choice for transporting a pump over short distances. These trailers are lightweight and easy to maneuver with their low center of gravity (great for navigating tight spaces)

Flatbed Trailer: Our most popular trailer for transporting pumps is our flatbed trailer, which can carry several pumps. It's ideal for moving large quantities of equipment in one trip.
