Shipping Air Handling Units from Cai Mep to Shanghai via Ocean Freight

Shipping very heavy industrial machines necessitates Engineered crating. Use purpose‑built skids with clear lifting points, Engage 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 needs to be Sealed against humidity. Use sealed plastic covers with Desiccant packs inside, cap all duct and cable openings, and book Enclosed trailers whenever possible. For ocean freight, evaluate Dehumidified or ventilated containers for long voyages.

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 are best protected by Separate cargo insurance, as carrier liability is usually limited and may not cover full replacement cost. Insure for total project value, confirm that Loading and unloading 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.

However, moisture‑sensitive items like HVAC equipment 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.
