Pallets via Freight Truck

We will choose Freight trucking options for bulk items strapped and/or plastic wrapped to a wooden pallet or skid.

In most cases, the delivery process for these items involves:

  • A semi-truck attached to a 26 foot or 53 foot trailer will arrive at your home or business.
  • The trailer floor is typically about 40 inches off of the ground.
  • The pallet likely weighs anywhere from 300 to 2000 pounds.
  • The pallet must be safely brought to ground level.
  • The pallet freight will be brought to the ground via a lift gate.
    • Lift gates are special devices that utilize a foldable panel and hydraulic pressure to bring pallets from the truck bed to the ground level safely.
    • We book special trucks because most trucks do not have liftgates.
  • The driver will ask you to sign

Aquariums are the most common item that ships via this method. When purchasing an aquarium or when LTL is needed, AlgaeBarn will contact you (please expect a call from a 7 with you to coordinate delivery.
