Shipping Brewery Systems
People have been brewing fermented beverages like alcohol since the dawn of civilization, relying on homemade machinery to create beloved beverages like beer, wine, and cider. However, brewing machines have become more sophisticated and standardized over the past centuries. These brewing systems have many components to them, including:
- Boiling kettles
- Heating/Cooling Systems
- Fermentation tanks
- Filtration systems
- Packaging equipment
All of these parts need special care and attention when being freight shipped. While most parts are metal, a few contain glass or are too large and heavy to handle alone.

Packaging and Shipping Your Brewing System
Brewing systems contain several parts, both large and small. Before booking your shipment, consider your system’s size, weight, and fragility; how much should you protect your items during transport? You’ll also need to determine what kind of packaging your systems need and what type of shipping you’ll use.
Most of your smaller equipment should be on a pallet; forklifts can easily lift and place your items in the trailer if they’re on one. However, drums and barrels could stand independently if they are sturdy enough or too big and heavy for a pallet.
If you are shipping a used brewing system, your equipment should be clean and dry; excessive moisture and heat can warp the metal or cause molding within the brewing system if not cleaned out. If your equipment is new, you must ensure your items are padded and secured in the trailer. Big tanks must be strapped down with ropes and anchors, and smaller parts must be shrink-wrapped or strapped down.
Your shipping option will depend on the size of your brewing systems and the kind of business you’re running. If you are an amateur brewer or own a small brewery, you could use less-than-truckload shipping (LTL). You’re sharing space with other shipments, making it a cost-effective option. However, your equipment may be too heavy or complicated to fit in with other shipments, and the damage risk is higher with LTL shipping.
Your best option is to go with full truckload shipping (FTL). You’ll have an entire trailer’s worth of space for yourself, and your items will arrive quicker than if you were shipping them LTL. You can also order specialized vehicles for your oversized loads, including flatbeds and
