Shipping Generators from Bangkok to Puerto Barrios via Ocean Freight

Shipping very heavy Industrial machinery necessitates careful planning. 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. Stabilize and strap the machine to prevent any movement, and photograph its condition before pickup.

Yes, moisture‑sensitive HVAC equipment needs to be shielded from moisture. Use moisture‑barrier film with humidity absorbers inside, cap all duct and cable openings, and book covered transport whenever possible. For ocean freight, evaluate enhanced corrosion protection for long voyages.

Exporting Construction machinery typically involves a customs 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 power equipment. 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 Generators are best protected by stand‑alone coverage, 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 construction machinery where lead times and replacement costs are high.

Crated Construction machines may be stored outdoors short‑term if packaging is designed for it and placed on concrete pads, not bare ground. However, moisture‑sensitive items like industrial fans and power equipment are safest 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 typically require specialized handling due to their weight and size. Ensuring proper packing, securing, and loading techniques are essential to prevent damage during transit. Additionally, equipment may need to be disassembled for shipping, and appropriate lifting equipment should be used at both ports to handle heavy machinery safely.

Required documentation for customs includes a commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading, and any necessary export licenses from Thailand. Import permits and customs declarations are also essential for Guatemala, along with compliance with regulatory standards for industrial machinery and construction equipment.
