Shipping Policy
Thank you for choosing Laxton Equipment. We are committed to providing transparent and efficient shipping services for all heavy machinery and attachments. Please review our shipping policy carefully before placing your order.
1. Shipping Overview
Shipping heavy equipment requires specialized handling due to the size, weight, and logistical complexity involved. All shipments are handled by trusted freight carriers with experience in transporting large industrial items.
Shipping rates are not flat and will vary based on the following factors:
- Machine or Attachment Weight
- Overall Dimensions (Length, Width, Height)
- Shipping Distance (Origin to Destination)
- Special Handling Requirements (e.g., oversized load permits, escort vehicles, lift-gate service, etc.)
2. Shipping Rate Calculation
Due to the highly variable nature of heavy equipment, shipping costs are calculated on a case-by-case basis. Your shipping quote will be determined after considering:
| Factor | Description |
|---|---|
| Weight | Total weight of the equipment or attachment (in pounds or kilograms). Heavier items may require special trailers or permits. |
| Dimensions | Overall size, including height (for bridge clearance), width (for road restrictions), and length. Oversized dimensions may increase costs. |
| Distance | The number of miles from our facility (or another origin point) to your delivery destination. |
| Type of Equipment | Certain attachments or machines may require crating, disassembly, or protective coverings. |
| Destination Type | Commercial, residential, or construction site deliveries may affect rates and equipment needed for unloading. |
Note: All quotes are valid for 10 days. Rates may fluctuate based on fuel surcharges, road conditions, and carrier availability.
