Shipping Air Handling Units from Guayaquil to Genoa via Ocean Freight

Shipping very heavy factory equipment necessitates professional rigging. Use purpose‑built skids with clear lifting points, work with experienced machinery movers for loading, and choose Flatbed or lowboy trailers rated for the full load. Block and brace the machine to prevent any movement, and photograph its condition before pickup.

Yes, moisture‑sensitive industrial fans needs to be protected from rain and condensation. Use sealed plastic covers with humidity absorbers inside, cap all duct and cable openings, and Choose Enclosed trailers whenever possible. For ocean freight, evaluate enhanced corrosion protection for long voyages.

Exporting industrial machinery typically involves a detailed invoice, packing list, transport document, and any regulatory approvals applicable to your destination. We recommend including serial numbers, model numbers, and precise weights for each unit, especially for 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 power equipment are best protected by a dedicated policy, as carrier liability is usually limited and may not cover full replacement cost. Insure for total project value, confirm that water damage are covered, and Keep 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 heavy equipment may be stored outdoors short‑term if packaging is properly sealed and placed on hardstanding, not bare ground. However, moisture‑sensitive items like industrial fans and Generators Are better 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.

Industrial machinery and construction equipment require careful packing and securing to prevent damage during ocean transport. It is important to use proper dunnage and securing methods, as well as to comply with weight restrictions imposed by shipping lines. Additionally, oversized or heavy machinery may require special handling equipment at both ports.
