Restaurant equipment delivery and kitchen logistics, end to end
One point of contact for pickup, freight, and placement. These shipping solutions take restaurant supply purchases and relocations from the seller's floor to a fully set line.
Auction Pickup
Won a lot at a restaurant auction? We coordinate on-site pickup, payment release, and removal so you never set foot on the floor.
Equipment Hauling
Walk-ins, ranges, hoods, and reach-ins moved on liftgate and air-ride freight built for heavy, delicate stainless steel.
Domestic & International
Nationwide LTL and full-truckload service plus ocean and air freight with customs brokerage for overseas delivery.
White-Glove Placement
Uncrate, position, and level. Our white-glove crews set your line exactly where the kitchen plan calls for it and hand off to your installers for final connections.
Secure Storage
Climate-controlled, insured warehousing between the auction and your opening date — short or long term.
Crating & Rigging
Custom crates and rigging for oversized or fragile units, engineered to survive the dock and the road.
Restaurant equipment we ship
Commercial kitchen equipment shipping is all we do. From a single reach-in to a full build-out, one coordinator covers pickup, protection, freight, and placement.

That makes us a practical fit for food service equipment transport across town or across the country, including used restaurant equipment shipping from auctions and dealers, and international delivery when your kitchen is overseas.

How to ship restaurant equipment, start to finish
Shipping restaurant equipment is not like moving a pallet of boxes. A walk-in compressor, a combi oven full of water lines, and a stainless prep table each ride differently, so every unit gets its own plan. Commercial kitchen equipment shipping requires specialized handling at every step, from the first disconnect to the final placement, and restaurant equipment freight that skips those steps is where damage and surprise charges come from.
Whether the equipment came from a restaurant supply dealer, an online auction, or your own closing location, the same sequence applies. These shipping solutions are what we use to get used restaurant equipment shipping done without damage or delays.
1. Prep before pickup
Gas and electric lines are disconnected and capped by a licensed technician. Water lines, fryers, ice machines, and steam equipment are drained and dried. Racks, shelves, and loose parts come out and are packed separately. Equipment that holds oil, water, or refrigerant needs this special handling before it can be moved safely.
2. Crating and palletizing
Most pieces ride on a skid, strapped down, with blankets and corner guards over stainless steel. Glass, controls, and fragile units get custom crates. Refrigeration stays upright, and walk-in panels ship flat with edge protection. Our crating and rigging service covers the details.
3. Liftgate and inside delivery
A liftgate lowers heavy equipment to the ground when there is no dock, but it has weight and size limits. If the kitchen is up a flight of stairs, behind a narrow door, or in a windowless bay, inside delivery places each unit where the kitchen plan calls for it. Tell us about access when you request a quote.
4. What affects the cost
Distance, weight and size, crating, liftgate or inside delivery, and timing drive the price of restaurant equipment freight. Our restaurant equipment shipping cost guide explains each one so you know what to expect before you request a quote.
Commercial oven shipping: pizza, convection, and combi ovens
Ovens need their own plan. Doors, glass, and controls break easily, and combi ovens add water lines and steam generators that must be drained before transit. See our commercial oven and combi oven shipping page for convection and combi ovens, or pizza oven shipping for deck, conveyor, and wood-fired units.
Restaurant equipment shipping questions
How do I ship restaurant equipment I bought at auction or from a used dealer?
Send us the item list, the pickup address, and the delivery address. We coordinate pickup with the seller, prep and crate or palletize each piece, and deliver it to your door or place it in the kitchen. For used restaurant equipment shipping, a few photos of each unit and the loading access at both ends help us quote accurately.
Does restaurant equipment freight need to be crated?
Most pieces ship well on a skid, strapped down and blanket-wrapped. Fragile, high-value, or export units are better in a custom crate. We recommend the right protection for each item when we quote.
Can you deliver inside the building?
Yes. Liftgate delivery brings the equipment to the curb or dock, and inside delivery places each unit in your kitchen or storage area. Tell us about stairs, narrow doors, and elevators so we can plan the crew and equipment.
What affects the price of shipping restaurant equipment?
Distance, the weight and size of the equipment, how much crating it needs, whether you need a liftgate or inside delivery, and your timeline all affect the price. Our cost guide walks through each factor.
Do you ship internationally?
Yes. We arrange export crating, ocean or air freight, and customs documentation for kitchens outside the United States.

Built for the weight and the pressure
Restaurant equipment is heavy, awkward, and expensive to replace. Our network is built specifically around the realities of moving commercial kitchens — not general freight.
A nationwide provider network
We are a coast-to-coast network of vetted, insured equipment transporters — so there is a qualified crew near every pickup and every destination.
Insured & bonded
Full-value cargo insurance on every load, so a scratched reach-in never becomes your problem.
On-time, on-record
A damage-free track record and appointment-based delivery windows you can build an opening around.
One coordinator
A single dedicated contact from quote to final placement — no call-center roulette.
All-in pricing
Pickup, freight, and white-glove placement quoted up front. No fuel-surcharge surprises after delivery.
The details that keep an opening on schedule
Moving a commercial kitchen is as much about paperwork and timing as it is about the freight. We cover both.
- We meet your installers on site
- Our white-glove crew coordinates directly with your kitchen installers and GC on the ground, so equipment is staged, set in place, and handed off without a gap in the schedule. We deliver and set the equipment in place — your installers make the final utility connections.
- On-day, on-time pickup available
- Need it moved the same day the auction closes or a hard removal deadline? We offer scheduled, appointment-window pickup so you clear the floor on time.
- Additional valuation coverage
- Standard cargo coverage is included on every load, with additional declared-value protection available upon request for high-value or specialty units.
- COI available upon request
- Certificates of Insurance are issued for your venue, landlord, or property manager on request — often required before a dock or freight elevator will let us in.
