Restaurant Equipment Freight Shipping
Restaurant equipment freight can involve heavy pieces, fragile finishes, refrigeration units, auction removal windows, and job-site timing. Quote That Freight organizes the shipment facts for independent external-provider quote review.
Fastest way to get useful pricing: send pickup and delivery ZIP codes, ready date, delivery deadline, freight dimensions, weight, piece count, accessorials, and the best phone number for follow-up.
Important: Request freight pricing only after the seller or facility confirms that the equipment is disconnected, packed or palletized, and load-ready. Any transportation agreement is made with the selected external provider, not Quote That Freight.

How Quote That Freight helps
Include equipment type, piece count, packed dimensions, weight, packaging or crating details, pickup and delivery access, liftgate needs, ready date, removal or delivery deadline, and onsite contacts. Confirm that disconnecting, packing, palletizing, loading, and unloading are already arranged before requesting an ordinary domestic freight comparison.
Quote That Freight is an independent quote-intake and external-provider referral service. Aleko can review the shipment details for missing information and refer a complete request to outside providers; QTF does not disconnect, pack, palletize, load, transport, store, insure, or broker restaurant equipment.
What to include in a restaurant equipment shipping quote
Use packed, load-ready measurements rather than equipment catalog dimensions. Include seller or facility release rules, removal timing, origin loading method, destination unloading method, and any appointment, liftgate, limited-access, or job-site requirements.
- Pickup and delivery ZIP codes
- Ready date, removal deadline, and delivery deadline
- Packed piece, pallet, or crate count
- Packed dimensions and total weight
- Origin loading and destination unloading plan
- Liftgate, appointment, limited-access, and onsite contacts
If you are unsure about a detail, say so. A clear “not sure yet” is better than leaving the field blank because Aleko can ask the right follow-up before the quote gets delayed.
Frequently asked questions
Can restaurant equipment ship by LTL?
Some load-ready restaurant equipment can move by LTL when packed dimensions, weight, packaging, value, access, and handling limits fit an external provider’s requirements.
What details matter for refrigeration equipment?
Packed dimensions, weight, preparation and packaging, orientation restrictions, value, origin loading, destination unloading, access, and timing all matter.
Does Quote That Freight disconnect, pack, palletize, load, or install equipment?
No. Those tasks must be arranged with the seller, facility, packer, rigger, installer, or selected transportation provider before pickup.
Can Quote That Freight help with restaurant buildout timing?
QTF can include the project deadline, receiving window, and job-site contact in a quote-intake referral, but the selected external provider controls availability and service commitments.
