Engines are large, bulky, and heavy, so when you have one you need to move, it can seem like a fairly intimidating endeavor. The fact is, shipping engines can be tough, especially if you don\u2019t have much experience with shipping and dealing with freight. However, whether you\u2019re a hobbyist, a mechanic, or a large-scale manufacturer, sooner or later you\u2019re going to need to know how to ship an engine. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

To ship an engine, you need to pick a shipping method, pack your engine properly, and get a carrier who will move your freight safely for a reasonable price. And, on top of that, engines are classified as Dangerous Goods, so you will need to comply with HazMat regulations too. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Engines are typically shipped as LTL Freight. That means \u201cLess-Than-Truckload,\u201d so the engine would be sharing a truck with several other different shipments. Many shippers hail this as the only good option for shipping an engine, but it\u2019s not. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

FTL, or \u201cFull-Truckload Shipping<\/a>,\u201d is often characterized by large semis filled with one shipper\u2019s freight, moving directly from the point of origin to the point of delivery. With that in mind, you might not even consider it as an option for shipping a single engine, which wouldn\u2019t take up more space than a single pallet. However, FTL shipping isn\u2019t quite so straightforward, and it could end up being a better option for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The thing is, you don\u2019t have to use a full-size trailer for FTL shipping. You can use whatever size truck you want, with whatever size trailer would accommodate what you have to ship. You could end up having your engine loaded up into a dedicated box-truck or cargo van instead. As you might have guessed, there are lots of benefits to shipping your engine on a dedicated truck instead of going with LTL, such as:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
