Freight Quotes for Heavy Equipment: How It Works

A
Written by Alex Cassilly

Large equipment — standby generators, commercial HVAC, palletized solar and electrical gear — ships by freight carrier, not parcel. The shipping estimate you see at online checkout is often inaccurate for these items, so PES Supply quotes freight individually for heavy orders.

How to get a freight quote

  1. Use the freight quote form on the product page (it appears automatically on freight-flagged items) or on the cart page.

  2. Or send us your list in chat — include the product links and your ship-to ZIP code.

  3. Or call (888) 876-0007.

What we need from you

  • Ship-to ZIP code and whether the address is commercial or residential

  • Whether you have a loading dock or forklift, or need liftgate service

  • Any site constraints (limited access, jobsite delivery, appointment needed)

Timing

Freight quotes are typically returned within 1 business day. Once your order ships, standard delivery is 7–10 business days nationwide. A firm freight quote locks in your delivered price before you pay — no surprise carrier charges after checkout.
