Shipping very heavy industrial machines Requires professional rigging. Use heavy timber skids with clear lifting points, work with experienced machinery movers for loading, and choose suitable heavy‑haul trailers rated for the full load. Block and brace the machine to prevent any movement, and photograph its condition before pickup.
Yes, moisture‑sensitive air handling units Should be protected from rain and condensation. Use moisture‑barrier film with humidity absorbers inside, cap all duct and cable openings, and book Enclosed trailers whenever possible. For ocean freight, evaluate Dehumidified or ventilated containers for long voyages.
Exporting heavy equipment typically Requires a detailed invoice, packing list, waybill, and any regulatory approvals applicable to your destination. Customs brokers typically recommend including serial numbers, model numbers, and precise weights for each unit, especially for Generators. For some destinations, authorities may require certificates of origin, fumigation or ISPM‑15 declarations for wood packaging, and safety or emissions certificates for Construction machines.
High‑value backup generators Should be protected by a dedicated policy, as carrier liability is usually limited and may not cover full replacement cost. Insure for replacement cost, confirm that water damage are covered, and store inspection reports and photos in case you need to file a claim. This is especially important for custom‑built Industrial machinery where lead times and replacement costs are high.
Crated industrial machinery Can sometimes be stored outdoors short‑term if packaging is properly sealed and placed on concrete pads, not bare ground. However, moisture‑sensitive items like industrial fans and power equipment Are better kept under cover or indoors. If outdoor storage is unavoidable, check wraps and tarps regularly, maintain drainage around the site, and Avoid long‑term exposure to reduce corrosion and electrical damage.
Required documentation typically includes a commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading, and any necessary export permits from Mexico. Additionally, customs clearance documentation must be prepared for entry into the United States.
Handling considerations include ensuring that equipment is securely fastened to prevent movement during transit, using appropriate crating or containerization to protect against saltwater exposure, and verifying that machinery complies with U.S. import regulations and standards.
