What matters when arranging gearbox shipping

Gearboxes are consignments where weight dictates the entire transport plan. A manual gearbox weighs 20 to 80 kg, an automatic 60 to 150 kg. Above roughly 200 kg the driver is not obliged to lift without a loading aid — book a liftgate if the recipient has neither ramp nor forklift.

The second point is oil. Gearboxes are never shipped completely drained; residual oil escapes through open connections and soils neighbouring consignments. Close every connection with blanking plugs and stand the gearbox on an oil-absorbent mat on the pallet. Strap it by the housing, never by attachments such as the shift linkage or clutch slave cylinder.

For booking we need the weight, the pallet dimensions and whether a ramp or forklift is available at the recipient. If neither is, a liftgate must be part of the booking. Gearboxes almost always travel as a single pallet. For time-critical workshop deliveries, express shipping or a direct run is worthwhile — a vehicle standing idle in the workshop costs more than the freight surcharge.

Frequently asked questions about gearbox shipping

Do gearboxes need to be drained of oil before shipping?
Yes, gearbox oil must be completely drained before the gearbox can be transported. Gearbox oil is a water-polluting substance – transport with residual oil is not permitted.
How heavy are typical gearboxes and how are they packaged?
Manual gearboxes weigh 20–80 kg, automatic gearboxes 60–150 kg. Gearboxes are fixed on sturdy wooden pallets, all open oil connections closed (blind plugs) and secured with film.
Is a forklift needed for pickup?
For gearboxes over 50 kg we recommend forklift service or liftgate. Our drivers do not have their own lifting equipment – please specify when booking if a liftgate is needed.
Can differentials and transfer cases also be shipped?
Yes, all drivetrain components including differentials, transfer cases and axle gearboxes are transported. Completely drain oils, close openings and fix on pallet.
How long does gearbox shipping take?
Standard transit time 1–3 business days nationwide, express 24–48 h available. Pickup on the next business day after booking. Liftgate service costs extra – please specify when booking.
