UPS items are restricted to no more than 150lbs. In addition, UPS has size restrictions due to their truck size and handling capability. For items that do not meet these maximum requirements, we provide common carrier service. Please explain the lift gate and call ahead notice. Shipping option presented at checkout. Recommended for heavy and/or large shipments. This option is only available for freight shipments via common carrier semi truck. A power lift-gate will assist the receiver by lowering the merchandise from the truck to the ground for easy removal. Order a power lift-gate if you are unable to unload the shipment (due to lack of truck dock and/or fork-lift). Customer must remove the shipment from the lift-gate. Drivers are not required to help remove a shipment from a truck.
