Shipping Industrial Machines from Altamira to Puerto Cortes via Ocean Freight

Shipping very heavy factory equipment demands Engineered crating. Use heavy timber skids with clear lifting points, hire experienced machinery movers for loading, and choose Flatbed or lowboy trailers rated for the full load. Stabilize and strap the machine to prevent any movement, and Document its condition before pickup.

Yes, moisture‑sensitive industrial fans must be Sealed against humidity. Use moisture‑barrier film with drying agents inside, cap all duct and cable openings, and Choose covered transport whenever possible. For ocean freight, Consider Dehumidified or ventilated containers for long voyages.

Exporting industrial machinery typically calls for a Commercial invoice, packing list, waybill, and any control permits applicable to your destination. We recommend including serial numbers, model numbers, and precise weights for each unit, especially for power equipment. For some destinations, You may also need certificates of origin, fumigation or ISPM‑15 declarations for wood packaging, and safety or emissions certificates for Construction machines.

High‑value power equipment are best protected by Separate cargo insurance, as carrier liability is usually limited and may not cover full replacement cost. Insure for replacement cost, confirm that rigging are covered, and Keep inspection reports and photos in case you need to file a claim. This is especially important for custom‑built construction machinery where lead times and replacement costs are high.

Crated heavy equipment are occasionally stored outdoors short‑term if packaging is Weather‑resistant and placed on concrete pads, not bare ground. However, moisture‑sensitive items like air handling units and Generators are safest under cover or indoors. If outdoor storage is unavoidable, Inspect wraps and tarps regularly, maintain drainage around the site, and Avoid long‑term exposure to reduce corrosion and electrical damage.

When shipping industrial machinery and construction equipment, it is crucial to ensure that all items are securely packaged and properly loaded to prevent damage during transit. Additionally, due to the weight and size of these items, specialized equipment such as cranes or forklifts may be required for loading and unloading at both Altamira and Puerto Cortes.

The required documentation for customs includes a bill of lading, commercial invoice, packing list, and any necessary export licenses or permits specific to industrial machinery and construction equipment. It is also important to comply with both Mexican and Honduran customs regulations to ensure a smooth transit.
