A ride-on mower fits in no parcel and is too bulky for many groupage networks: rollable but not stackable, with a fuel and oil filling and a sensitive bonnet. Speed Logistics sends ride-on mowers, lawn tractors and garden tractors as direct transport door to door – from the single machine for the specialist dealer to the palletised series delivery to the wholesaler.
You receive a fixed-price offer within a few hours, and our dispatch team is personally reachable 24/7. Especially in the season from March to May, when dealers and hire firms need machines at short notice, we schedule fixed collection and delivery dates instead of vague time windows. Collection is where the machine stands: at the warehouse, in the workshop or at the end customer – nationwide and throughout Europe.
Which machines we transport
- Lawn tractors and ride-on mowers of all makes, with or without a grass collector
- Garden tractors and compact tractors with attachments such as a mower deck, sweeper brush or snow blade
- Professional machines for landscaping and municipalities – zero-turn mowers, mulchers, small tractors
- New machines ex works or from the warehouse palletised and film-wrapped for the trade
From the Sprinter with tail lift for a single machine to the curtainside truck for dealer supply with several machines, we choose the vehicle to match the shipment.
Loading and securing of ride-on mowers
Ride-on mowers are loaded via the tail lift or a ramp and lashed in the vehicle at the axles or the frame – never at the steering wheel, mower deck or body panels. Parking brake applied, ignition key removed, grass collector and loose attachments secured separately: this way the machine arrives without scratches. For shipping, the tank should be run down as far as possible; an operationally required residual amount is uncritical in road transport. New machines we take over on the manufacturer's pallet in the original packaging. Used machines without their own packaging travel unpackaged but fully lashed; on request a cover tarpaulin protects the bonnet and seat from dirt and weather. You receive a photo of the loading directly after departure on request.
Process and costs of ride-on mower shipping
You give us the model or dimensions and weight (typically 150–350 kg), the collection and delivery address and the desired date. On this basis you receive a binding fixed price without hidden fees. The cost depends on distance, vehicle size and deadline pressure – a single collection from a private seller with tail-lift delivery is calculated differently from a palletised dealer delivery. After the order, a firmly assigned vehicle collects the machine and delivers it directly without transhipment. For dealers with regular demand we set up fixed collection days, so sold machines go into delivery without individual coordination.
Seasonal logistics for dealers and hire firms
At the start of the season every day counts: we run replenishment direct transports from the central warehouse to the specialist dealer, collect demonstration and hire machines and bring repair machines to the service point and back to the customer. We also handle Europe-wide procurement – such as a used machine from the Netherlands or Austria – door to door, with photo documentation on receipt on request. Outside the season, too, the dispatch team stays available around the clock – for example for winter storage, exhibition machines or the return of leasing machines at the end of the season.
