Large automotive equipment needs a delivery plan before it leaves the dock. Vehicle lifts, tire changers, wheel balancers, compressors, paint booths, jacks, presses, and other shop equipment may be heavy, oversized, palletized, or freight-shipped.
Delivery gets equipment to the destination. Pickup means the buyer is responsible for arriving with the right vehicle, trailer, tie-downs, and loading plan. Freight shipping may involve a third-party carrier. Installation is a separate step for eligible equipment and may require site review before anything is scheduled.
Review those pieces before placing an order. A product may be available to buy, but the delivery address, unloading plan, building access, utilities, or installation requirements can still affect the next step.
Many large equipment orders move by freight. Freight carriers may require appointment scheduling, a commercial delivery location, room for a truck, and someone available to receive the shipment. Some delivery situations may involve liftgate service, limited-access delivery, re-delivery, or additional carrier requirements.
Inspect freight before signing whenever possible. Look for torn packaging, crushed corners, missing pieces, exposed metal, broken bands, or signs that the equipment shifted in transit. If damage is visible, document it with photos, note the issue with the carrier when possible, keep packaging, and use the Support page for the next step.
Pickup can be a good option when the product, vehicle, trailer, and timing all make sense. Before pickup, confirm product availability, package dimensions, loading expectations, and whether your truck or trailer is appropriate for the equipment.
Large equipment may require loading support, straps, weight planning, and a safe unloading plan at the destination. Do not assume a pickup order will fit in a standard vehicle.
For eligible vehicle lifts and larger shop equipment, installation should be discussed before the delivery date. Installation may involve concrete, ceiling height, bay layout, anchoring, power, air, hydraulic fluid, leveling, access, and site readiness.
Use the Installation page to review installation planning before the equipment arrives.
No. Delivery, freight, pickup, assembly, and installation are separate considerations unless specific installation details have been reviewed and agreed to.
Inspect the shipment, take photos, note visible damage with the carrier when possible, keep packaging, and use the Support page to request help with next steps.
Discuss installation before ordering or before the delivery date when the equipment requires site review, unloading planning, concrete review, power, or setup coordination.
Yes. Use the Contact page with the product model, destination, and unloading details so the order can be reviewed before shipment or pickup.
