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.

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.

Round table dollies are a lifesaver when it comes to storing and transporting any round banquet tables your event venue or party rental company may own.

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 Round Banquet Tables fit in a Round Table Dolly?

We stock 48" round plastic folding tables, 60" round plastic folding tables and 71" round plastic folding tables. If you're transporting 48" round plastic folding tables, you can fit 16 tables in the round table cart. If you're transporting 60" round plastic folding tables, you can fit 14 tables in the round table cart and if you're transporting 71" round plastic folding tables, you can fit 12 tables in the round table cart.

How many Wood Round Banquet Tables fit in a Round table dolly?

We stock 48" round wood folding tables, 60" round wood folding tables, 66" round wood folding tables and 72" round wood folding tables. If you're transporting 48" round wood folding tables, you can fit 10 tables in the round table cart. If you're transporting 60" or 66" round wood folding tables, you can fit 9-10 tables in the round table cart. If you're transporting 72" round wood folding tables, you can fit 9-10 tables in the round table cart.

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

We stock 60" round rhino plastic folding tables with the rest of the table line being rectangles in shape. If you're transporting our 60" round rhino plastic folding tables, you can fit 9 tables in the round table cart.

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

If you're in the Party Rental industry, and either looking to get into tablecloth rentals or already including them in your rental inventory, having high-performing commercial laundry equipment will not only save you (or your staff) a lot of time, but also a lot of money on utilities and labour. Even though we don't offer commercial laundry equipment ourselves, because we sell to the party rental industry, we get asked from time to time what the best commercial laundry equipment for party rental companies in Canada are. I thought a blog post showcasing who specialize in the Party Rental Industry as one of their dedicated markets. Read on for who live and die in providing high-performance commercial laundry machines for the event rental industry.

Continental Girbau

The washers have a life expectancy of 10-20 years ensuring you receive a good return on your investment, and are designed to drive down water, electrical and gas costs. They feature high-speed extraction to reduce dry-time, operating time, utility consumption and labour expense and feature a 3 year limited parts warranty and 5 year key component warranty. Their commercial dryers range in capacity from singleload to 175 pounds.

Milnor

Milnor offers washer-extractors to reduce labour costs, save on linen replacement costs, save energy, save water and lower a party rental companies total cost of ownership. Milnor's commercial washers range in capacity from 25 – 700 pounds and are designed for durability and ease of use.

Unimac

Unimac prides themselves on working closely with their party rental customers to identify and address any key concerns they face every day with regards to commercial laundry equipment. They also offer financing options for their products via UniMac Funding.

Their washers range in capacity from 20 – 275 pounds and like the other companies, help to deliver reduced costs and optimized throughput while improving utility costs. They also boast on their website that they have the industry’s lowest cost of ownership. Unimac distributes in Canada through a number of distributors. You can find one in your area here.
