Shipping Factory Equipment from Honolulu to Puerto Cortes via Ocean Freight

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 suitable heavy‑haul trailers rated for the full load. Secure and chock the machine to prevent any movement, and record 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 book dry containers whenever possible. For ocean freight, ask about 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. Customs brokers typically recommend including serial numbers, model numbers, and precise weights for each unit, especially for backup generators. For some destinations, you should check if you need 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 store 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 power equipment should ideally be kept under cover or indoors. If outdoor storage is unavoidable, verify wraps and tarps regularly, maintain drainage around the site, and limit duration to reduce corrosion and electrical damage.

Industrial Machinery & Construction Equipment requires specialized handling due to its size and weight. Proper securing and bracing within the shipping container or on flatbed trailers are essential to prevent damage during transit. Additionally, equipment may need disassembly to fit shipping standards and ensure compliance with safety regulations.
