Shipping very heavy factory equipment demands professional rigging. Use purpose‑built skids with clear lifting points, hire experienced machinery movers for loading, and choose suitable heavy‑haul trailers rated for the full load. Stabilize and strap the machine to prevent any movement, and Document its condition before pickup.
Yes, moisture‑sensitive industrial fans must be protected from rain and condensation. Use sealed plastic covers with drying agents inside, cap all duct and cable openings, and book covered transport whenever possible.

Exporting industrial machinery typically calls for a detailed invoice, packing list, transport document, and any control permits applicable to your destination. Customs brokers typically recommend including serial numbers, model numbers, and precise weights for each unit, especially for power equipment. 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 power equipment Should be 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 rigging are covered, and store 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 heavy equipment are occasionally stored outdoors short‑term if packaging is properly sealed and placed on hardstanding, not bare ground. However, moisture‑sensitive items like air handling units and power equipment are safest 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, it is essential to ensure that all items are securely packaged and properly crated to withstand ocean transport. Additionally, heavy machinery may require special loading equipment at both the port of Guayaquil and the port of Newark due to their weight and size.
Required documentation includes a bill of lading, commercial invoice, packing list, and any relevant certificates of origin or compliance for industrial machinery and construction equipment. It is also important to comply with U.S. Customs and Border Protection regulations, which may require additional documentation for specific equipment.
