Medical Equipment Shipping
Medical Equipment Shipping and Transport Services, Nationwide
Medical equipment transport services for hospitals, clinics, dealers and manufacturers, from the first quote to the handoff for installation.
Medical equipment shipping is not standard freight. Imaging systems, lab analyzers, surgical equipment and patient care devices are heavy, high-value and sensitive to shock, so the transportation of medical equipment has to be planned from the building at pickup to the room at delivery.
USA Medical Equipment Shipping is an asset-based carrier that ships medical equipment nationwide, in all 50 states. We transport medical equipment on air-ride trucks with liftgates and white glove crews, and we work around your OEM and biomedical engineering schedule.

How to ship medical equipment
- 1
Request a quote
Send the make and model, dimensions, weight, photos, pickup and delivery ZIP codes and your requested date. We confirm the truck, crew and plan.
- 2
Site survey
We review both ends: loading dock or no dock, doorways, hallways, elevators, stairs, floor protection and the hours the facility allows deliveries.
- 3
Crating or blanket wrap
Custom crates for long-distance, international or very fragile shipments. Padded blanket wrap for many local and regional moves.
- 4
Liftgate truck
An air-ride truck with a liftgate loads at sites without a dock, so the unit stays upright and supported from the floor to the trailer.
- 5
White glove inside delivery
The crew brings the equipment to the room of choice, unpacks it, sets it in place and removes the debris.
- 6
Install handoff
The unit is handed off to the OEM or your biomedical engineering team for installation, calibration and testing before patient use.

FAQ
Medical equipment shipping questions
How do you ship medical equipment?
We start with the equipment details and photos, review the pickup and delivery sites, choose crating or blanket wrap, assign an air-ride truck with a liftgate and deliver white glove to the room. Installation and testing are then handed off to the OEM or your biomedical engineering team.
What do you need for a medical equipment shipping quote?
Pickup and delivery ZIP codes, whether the move is domestic or international, the equipment make and model, dimensions, weight, photos and your requested pickup date.
Do I need a loading dock?
No. We use liftgate trucks for sites without a dock. Tell us about stairs, elevators, narrow doorways or tight turns so we can plan the crew and equipment.
Should my equipment be crated or blanket wrapped?
Crating is best for long-distance, international or very fragile shipments. Padded blanket wrap works for many local and regional moves. International shipments need ISPM-15 heat-treated wood crates.
Do you install the equipment?
No. We deliver, unpack and set the equipment in place. Installation, calibration and testing stay with the manufacturer or your biomedical engineering team.
Do you ship medical equipment nationwide?
Yes. We ship medical equipment in all 50 states, and we can coordinate international shipments as well.
