If you're sourcing concrete urban benches, you've likely felt the sticker shock of shipping quotes. The weight is the single biggest factor driving those costs. Unlike lighter materials, the substantial mass of concrete directly translates to higher freight charges. Carriers calculate costs based on a combination of weight and dimensions (dimensional weight), and dense concrete benches often hit maximum weight brackets quickly. This affects the freight class, making it more expensive. Distance amplifies this; cross-country shipping costs significantly more than regional delivery. Accessorial fees for lift gates or special equipment due to the bench's weight and fragility add up. To manage this, consider sourcing locally to reduce miles, order in bulk to maximize load efficiency, and always get multiple freight quotes. Understanding this weight-cost relationship is crucial for accurate project budgeting.
