Shipping Heavy Equipment from Callao to Savannah via Ocean Freight

Shipping very heavy Industrial machinery necessitates professional rigging. Use Steel‑reinforced 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 HVAC equipment needs to be protected from rain and condensation. Use Shrink wrap with drying agents inside, cap all duct and cable openings, and Choose covered transport whenever possible. For ocean freight, Consider enhanced corrosion protection for long voyages.

Exporting Construction machinery typically involves a detailed invoice, packing list, Bill of lading, 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 industrial machines.

High‑value Generators are best protected by a dedicated policy, as carrier liability is usually limited and may not cover full replacement cost. Insure for Full value, 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 Construction machines may be stored outdoors short‑term if packaging is properly sealed and placed on Elevated dunnage, 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 limit duration to reduce corrosion and electrical damage.

Industrial machinery and construction equipment require specialized handling due to their size and weight. It is essential to ensure proper securing and bracing within the container to prevent movement during transit. Additionally, equipment may need to be disassembled for shipping, and any hazardous materials must be properly documented and handled in accordance with regulations.

Required documentation includes a bill of lading, commercial invoice, packing list, and any necessary export permits from Peru. Importantly, U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) requires a declaration of the equipment's value and compliance with U.S. regulations, including any applicable safety standards for industrial machinery and construction equipment.
