Shipping very heavy industrial machines necessitates professional rigging. Use heavy timber skids with clear lifting points, hire experienced machinery movers for loading, and choose Flatbed or lowboy trailers rated for the full load. Secure and chock the machine to prevent any movement, and Document its condition before pickup.
Yes, moisture‑sensitive air handling units needs to be protected from rain and condensation. Use moisture‑barrier film with drying agents inside, cap all duct and cable openings, and Choose dry containers whenever possible. For ocean freight, Consider Dehumidified or ventilated containers for long voyages.
Exporting heavy equipment typically involves a detailed invoice, packing list, waybill, and any control permits applicable to your destination. We recommend including serial numbers, model numbers, and precise weights for each unit, especially for backup generators. For some destinations, You may also need 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 a dedicated policy, as carrier liability is usually limited and may not cover full replacement cost. Insure for replacement cost, 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 factory equipment where lead times and replacement costs are high.
Crated industrial machinery may be stored outdoors short‑term if packaging is properly sealed and placed on concrete pads, not bare ground. However, moisture‑sensitive items like air handling units and Generators should ideally be kept under cover or indoors. If outdoor storage is unavoidable, Inspect wraps and tarps regularly, maintain drainage around the site, and Avoid long‑term exposure to reduce corrosion and electrical damage.
When shipping industrial machinery and construction equipment via ocean freight, it is essential to ensure that the cargo is securely packed and loaded onto the vessel to prevent movement during transit. Heavy machinery may require special rigging and securing methods, and it is crucial to comply with weight limits for containers and vessels.
The required documentation typically includes a bill of lading, commercial invoice, packing list, export declaration, and any necessary certificates for specific machinery, such as compliance with safety and environmental regulations. Additionally, import permits may be needed to comply with Indian regulations for industrial machinery and construction equipment.
