Shipping very heavy Industrial machinery demands professional rigging. Use heavy timber skids with clear lifting points, Engage experienced machinery movers for loading, and choose suitable heavy‑haul trailers rated for the full load.

Yes, moisture‑sensitive HVAC equipment must be protected from rain and condensation. Use moisture‑barrier film with Desiccant packs inside, cap all duct and cable openings, and book Enclosed trailers whenever possible. For ocean freight, Consider enhanced corrosion protection for long voyages.
Exporting Construction machinery typically calls for a detailed invoice, packing list, waybill, and any Export licenses applicable to your destination. Customs brokers typically recommend including serial numbers, model numbers, and precise weights for each unit, especially for 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 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 replacement cost, 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.
Crated Construction machines are occasionally stored outdoors short‑term if packaging is properly sealed and placed on concrete pads, not bare ground. However, moisture‑sensitive items like HVAC equipment and power equipment Are better kept 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.
