What Size Truck to Transport Chiavari Chairs?

Truck to Transport Chiavari Chairs

Chiavari chairs, whether resin or wood, are an awkward inventory item to transport due to their large footprint and inability to stack efficiently. New party rental companies, existing party rental companies looking to expand from folding tables and plastic folding chairs into Chiavari chairs, and other companies looking to pick up instead of incurring shipping costs often wonder the size of truck is required to transport Chiavari chairs. Below we'll outline the size of truck required for the number of Chiavari chairs, as well as how best to transport them to avoid damage.

How to Transport Chiavari Chairs Without Damaging:

Here at National Event Supply, we stack our resin Chiavari chairs on skids that are 52" x 48" in order to properly ship them across Canada. All Party Rental Companies receive a free Chiavari chair storage cover included with each chair and we recommend that companies continue to use them in transport to their end customers as well as to store the chairs to keep them in good shape and free from minor scratches.

Skids are stacked in 6 stacks of 7 Chiavari chairs, and then wrapped in clear shrink wrap, then cardboard, and finally black shrink wrap to protect the chairs in transit and avoid the stacks from toppling in transit. We would recommend you utilize our shipping methods to transport your chairs to customers – which should minimize the damage caused in transit and protect your inventory investment.

What Size Truck to Transport Chiavari Chairs:

Assuming the skids are 52" long x 48" wide x 89" tall and fit 42 Chiavari chairs on them, below would be the number of skids and number of chairs that can be transported in each vehicle. Note that you can transport more chairs if you stack them in the truck versus take them on a skid. We will however stick to how many you can fit on a skid as it is the most secure method.

Truck# of Skids per TruckSkid SizeHow many stacks and how high?# of Chiavari Chairs total per Truck
Cube Truck 14' (i.e. Ford E350) 6 48x40 4 stacks per skid at 5 chairs high per stack 120
Cube Truck 16' (i.e. Chevrolet Express LWB) 6 48x40 6 stacks per skid at 5 chairs high per stack 180
Cube Truck 24' (i.e. Hino 338) 10 52x48 6 stacks per skid at 7 chairs high per stack 420

If you're interested in a truck that we haven't outlined above, we'd be happy to talk with you on how many skids and total number of Chiavari chairs would fit the truck you're interested in. Tweet us your question, Post on our Facebook timeline or give us a call at 1-800-827-8953.

How many rectangle banquet tables fit in a rectangle table dolly?

Rectangle Table Cart

Last week, we detailed how many round banquet tables fit in a round table dolly so that potential prospects and customers knew how many table dollies were required to store and transport their folding table inventory. We also sell rectangle table dollies and face the same question surrounding the number of tables a rectangle table dolly fits. This blog post should answer that question so you know how many you require to store and transport your folding table inventory.

How many Plastic Rectangle Banquet Tables fit in a Rectangle Table Dolly?

We stock 4ft rectangle plastic folding tables, 5ft rectangle plastic folding tables, 6ft rectangle plastic folding tables and 8ft rectangle plastic folding tables. Unfortunately, due to the size of our 4ft rectangle plastic folding table and 5ft rectangle plastic folding table, the table is too small to be adequately supported on a rectangle table dolly. If you're transporting 6ft rectangle plastic folding tables, you can fit 19 tables in the rectangle table cart. If you're transporting 8ft plastic folding tables, you can fit 16 tables in the rectangle table cart.

How many Wood Rectangle Banquet Tables fit in a Rectangle Table Dolly?

We stock 4ft rectangle wood folding tables, 6ft rectangle wood folding tables, and 8ft rectangle wood folding tables. Again, same as the plastic folding tables, 4ft rectangle wood folding tables cannot be transported in the cart for the same reason as mentioned above. If you're transporting 6ft wood folding tables, you can fit 13 tables in the rectangle table cart. If you're transporting 8ft rectangle wood folding tables, you can fit 13 tables in the rectangle table cart.

How many Rhino Plastic Rectangle Banquet Tables Fit in a Rectangle Table Dolly?

We stock 6ft rhino plastic rectangle folding tables and 8ft rhino plastic rectangle folding tables. Because these are of similar quality to a Mity-Lite ABS table, they're thicker than the traditional plastic folding table. If you're transporting 6ft rhino plastic rectangle folding tables, you can fit 13 tables in the rectangle table cart. If you're transporting 8ft rhino plastic rectangle folding tables, you can fit 13 tables in the rectangle table cart.

Hopefully this helps you estimate the amount of rectangle table carts you require.
