How Do You Prepare a Wheelchair for LTL Freight Shipping?
When shipping wheelchairs, your wheelchair may be loaded and unloaded several times before it’s delivered. It will share a truck with dozens of other shipments that could shift around during transit. To avoid damages during shipping, you must adequately package your wheelchair. Review your wheelchair’s owner’s manual for special instructions on breaking down and transporting your equipment. If your wheelchair can be folded or taken apart, do so. Crate your wheelchair or secure it to a pallet. FreightCenter can help you find crating services. Or, you can build your custom crate. If securing a pallet with bands, wrap the wheelchair in styrofoam, double-walled cardboard, and shrink wrap.
