Shipping very heavy Industrial machinery Requires professional rigging. Use Steel‑reinforced skids with clear lifting points, work with experienced machinery movers for loading, and choose step‑deck or lowboy equipment rated for the full load. Secure and chock the machine to prevent any movement, and photograph its condition before pickup.
Yes, moisture‑sensitive HVAC equipment Should be protected from rain and condensation. Use Shrink wrap with humidity absorbers inside, cap all duct and cable openings, and select dry containers whenever possible. For ocean freight, evaluate enhanced corrosion protection for long voyages.
Exporting Construction machinery typically Requires a detailed invoice, packing list, Bill of lading, and any regulatory approvals applicable to your destination. Most freight forwarders recommend including serial numbers, model numbers, and precise weights for each unit, especially for backup generators. 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 Should be protected by a dedicated policy, as carrier liability is usually limited and may not cover full replacement cost. Insure for Full value, confirm that water damage are covered, and retain 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 Construction machines Can sometimes be stored outdoors short‑term if packaging is properly sealed and placed on Elevated dunnage, not bare ground. However, moisture‑sensitive items like industrial fans and backup generators should ideally be kept 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.
Shipping industrial machinery and construction equipment requires careful handling due to their size and weight. Proper securing methods, such as using specialized crating or bracing, are essential to prevent damage during transit. Additionally, equipment should be cleaned and free of debris to meet customs regulations and avoid delays.
Required documentation typically includes a bill of lading, commercial invoice, packing list, and any relevant export licenses.
