Orders ship by LTL (less-than-truckload) or full truckload freight, depending on the size and quantity of the equipment. Because these are large, heavy items, deliveries typically go to a commercial address, and a forklift or other unloading equipment is usually needed on-site. Local pickup from our showroom is also available. Learn more about shipping and delivery

Before installing any lift, check your owner's manual for the exact concrete specs required, as they vary based on the lift's capacity, model, and configuration.
