Picture a multi-ton scissor lift weaving its way to a jobsite off 43rd Street and 7th Avenue in New York City. Tight streets, nonstop traffic, strict time windows. We have done it, and we will do it again. If you are worried about how a big lift gets from our facility to your door, take a breath. We handle the logistics so you can focus on the work.

The Real Problem: Shipping Anxiety

Heavy equipment looks intimidating to move. It sounds risky, complicated, and expensive. Here is the truth from our side of the dock. These machines travel every day, coast to coast, and the process is smoother than you might think when the right team is in place. Out of thousands of deliveries we have completed, only a few stand out as problematic. If it is not remarkable, it is a smooth delivery. That is exactly what we aim for at Above All Equipment.

Our Freight Partner Makes It Simple

We trust one freight broker for nearly every shipment. Logistic Leaders in Jacksonville handles the heavy digging so your order gets the right truck, the right driver, and the right route. We coordinate with them from pickup to drop-off and keep you posted along the way. We even have drone videos coming that show our shipping operation behind the scenes, because transparency builds trust.

What You Can Expect From Start to Finish

Here is how shipping a scissor lift or boom lift with Above All Equipment typically works:

• You choose your lift on our site and add it to the cart.
• We confirm details like delivery address, timing, and site access.
• Our freight partner secures the appropriate trailer and route.
• We dispatch, track, and communicate the ETA.
• You arrange for unloading on site. This can mean a forklift, a ramp, or a contractor with the right equipment.
• Your lift arrives, ready to work.

Pro tip. If you are new to this, ask us about unloading requirements. We will help you think through the best plan for your site.

Our Tricky Delivery Hall of Fame

The most challenging shipment we have seen in the United States was a scissor lift into Midtown Manhattan. Here is how we pulled it off:

• Landed the load in North Jersey where access is easier.
• Hired a tow truck to bring the machine into the city through tight streets.
• Coordinated an on-site unloading plan that fit within local constraints.

That delivery took teamwork, timing, and persistence. It got done, just like thousands of others. We ship everywhere, from dense urban cores to remote jobsites and even island locations.

Why Our Process Works

• One accountable team. You are not chasing multiple brokers or carriers. We manage it end to end.
• Proven partners. We use the same reliable freight broker who understands our equipment and standards.
• Experience under pressure. When a route is complicated, we break it into stages and coordinate local resources, like we did with the New York City delivery.

How You Can Set Up a Smooth Delivery

A little prep goes a long way. Based on what we have learned, here are simple steps that reduce hiccups and cost:

• Confirm site access. Measure gate widths, check overhead clearances, and verify that trucks can turn around.
• Plan unloading. Identify the equipment or contractor that will unload your lift. If you are unsure, ask us for options.
• Share timing constraints. Let us know about jobsite hours, permits, or restricted streets.
• Double check the address. Include lot numbers, building entrances, or special instructions to help the driver find you.
