Types of Gym Machines We Ship

As a specialized weight-lifting equipment shipping company, we transport different types of these machines, handling everything from individual pieces to full gym fit-outs.

By Weight Adjustment

Plate-Loaded

These machines mimic free-weight exercises but provide more stability and guidance. They require users to manually load the weight plates.

By Weight Adjustment

Weight-stack

Allow users to easily adjust how much to lift by pulling a pin that engages a stack of weights. These are heavyweight machines that often require a truckload for bulk orders.

By Type of Construction

Cable

Use adjustable pulleys and cables to provide resistance, offering a versatile range of motion.

By Type of Construction

Isolation

Designed to isolate a specific muscle group, allowing for targeted strength training without engaging stabilizing muscles.

By Type of Construction

Smith

They have a barbell fixed within vertical rails, allowing for guided movements and increased safety during heavy lifts.

By Type of Construction

Multi-Station

These are all-in-one machines that combine multiple exercise stations into one unit, designed to accommodate multiple users or exercises in a compact footprint.

How Much Does it Cost to Ship Gym Machines?

While there is no universal price, we can give you the factors that affect the cost of shipping:

Mode of transportation: Air charters command a higher price point compared to ocean or ground transportation options

 

Distance: Hauling weight-lifting equipment across the country is generally cheaper than transporting it overseas to a distant destination

Additional expenses: These may include insurance premiums, permits, customs duties, and handling fees

Size and Weight: The heavier the freight and the greater the girth and length, the higher the cost

 

Season: The shipping industry experiences high and low seasons, which directly impact the final cost

International Shipping of Gym Machines

Roll-on-Roll-off (Ro-Ro)

This is a streamlined method of shipping where equipment is driven directly onto and off the vessel (rare for stationary gym gear unless on trailers)

Full-Container Load (FCL)

This implies that the entire container is exclusively reserved for your shipment. It is a popular choice for shipping sensitive machines due to the protection and control it offers

Flat Rack

An excellent choice for transporting equipment, particularly those that are oversized or have dimensions exceeding standard container limits

Air Cargo

The fastest method for transporting weight-lifting equipment or its parts, though it comes at a high cost

International Shipping Compliance, Regulations, and Restrictions for Gym Machines

Regulations vary significantly by nation, but the most common requirements include:

  • Export control: Adherence to ITAR, EAR, and similar frameworks
  • Import regulations: Tariffs & duties, non-tariff barriers, safety standards, and customs clearance procedures
  • Transport regulations: Accurate shipping documentation, dangerous goods regulations, weight and dimensions restrictions, and insurance
  • Technical standards: Variances in safety standards, emissions, and noise regulations

Weight-Lifting Machine Moving Services Across The Country

Flatbed

These trailers offer a basic, open platform for securing and equipment hauling

Step-Deck

Featuring a lowered rear platform, this provides the necessary clearance to transport machinery legally without requiring special permits

RGN (Removable Gooseneck)

Their most significant advantage is the ability to carry high loads, ideal for massive commercial setups

Restrictions on Moving Gym Equipment

Moving oversized equipment over long distances comes with restrictions and regulations, such as:

  • Road regulations: Adherence to speed limits, width and height restrictions, and road use permits
  • Transport regulations: Requirements for oversized load permits, escort vehicles, precise route planning, and liability insurance
  • Additional regulations: Seasonal travel restrictions, weight limits per axle, and specific local municipal regulations
