Shipping Hvac Equipment from Charlotte to Montreal via Ocean Freight

Shipping very heavy Industrial machinery necessitates Engineered crating. Use purpose‑built skids with clear lifting points, Engage 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 photograph its condition before pickup.

Yes, moisture‑sensitive HVAC equipment needs to be Sealed against humidity. Use sealed plastic covers with Desiccant packs inside, cap all duct and cable openings, and Choose covered transport whenever possible. For ocean freight, evaluate enhanced corrosion protection for long voyages.

Exporting Construction machinery typically involves a Commercial invoice, packing list, transport document, and any Export licenses applicable to your destination. We 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 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 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 Weather‑resistant and placed on hardstanding, not bare ground. However, moisture‑sensitive items like HVAC equipment and Generators 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.

When shipping industrial machinery and construction equipment via ocean freight, it is important to ensure that all items are securely packaged and properly loaded to prevent damage during transit. Additionally, equipment should be inspected for any loose parts that may need to be secured, and appropriate lifting equipment should be used for loading and unloading at both ports.

Required documentation includes a bill of lading, commercial invoice, packing list, and any necessary export permits. Additionally, customs documentation must be prepared to comply with both U.S. and Canadian regulations, including any specific forms related to the importation of machinery and equipment.
