Affordable Cylinder Transportation Services
Wide Load Shipping offers affordable cylinder shipping services all year round. The cost of shipping cylinders depends on the weight, size, distance, and mode of transport, among other factors. For example, the larger the cylinders, the more space is taken, thus needing a specialized truck or trailer to accommodate them. In that case, you will need to pay some more. We offer expedited shipping services at an extra fee if you need your cylinders transported on short notice. Depending on the number and weight of cylinders, we ensure they’re loaded on a suitable trailer and well secured before dispatch to avoid sliding while in transit. Hotshots and flatbeds are examples of some of the trailers used to ship cylinders.
