Shipping very heavy factory equipment Requires careful planning. Use Steel‑reinforced skids with clear lifting points, work with experienced machinery movers for loading, and choose step‑deck or lowboy equipment rated for the full load. Secure and chock the machine to prevent any movement, and photograph its condition before pickup.
Yes, moisture‑sensitive industrial fans Should be shielded from moisture. Use Shrink wrap with humidity absorbers inside, cap all duct and cable openings, and select dry containers whenever possible. For ocean freight, evaluate enhanced corrosion protection for long voyages.
Exporting industrial machinery typically Requires a customs invoice, packing list, Bill of lading, and any regulatory approvals applicable to your destination. Most freight forwarders recommend including serial numbers, model numbers, and precise weights for each unit, especially for backup generators. For some destinations, authorities may require certificates of origin, fumigation or ISPM‑15 declarations for wood packaging, and safety or emissions certificates for industrial machines.
High‑value power equipment Should be protected by stand‑alone coverage, as carrier liability is usually limited and may not cover full replacement cost. Insure for Full value, confirm that water damage are covered, and retain inspection reports and photos in case you need to file a claim. This is especially important for custom‑built factory equipment where lead times and replacement costs are high.
Crated heavy equipment Can sometimes be stored outdoors short‑term if packaging is designed for it and placed on Elevated dunnage, not bare ground. However, moisture‑sensitive items like industrial fans and backup generators should ideally be kept under cover or indoors. If outdoor storage is unavoidable, check wraps and tarps regularly, maintain drainage around the site, and limit duration to reduce corrosion and electrical damage.
Industrial machinery and construction equipment require special handling due to their size and weight. It is important to ensure that the cargo is properly secured and loaded onto the vessel to prevent damage during transit. Additionally, the use of specialized containers or flat racks may be necessary to accommodate oversized equipment.
Shipping industrial machinery and construction equipment from Baltimore to Callao requires specific documentation, including a commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading, and any relevant export licenses. It is also essential to comply with Peru's import regulations, which may require additional permits or certifications for machinery.
