Shipping very heavy factory equipment necessitates careful planning. 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. Secure and chock the machine to prevent any movement, and photograph its condition before pickup.
Yes, moisture‑sensitive industrial fans needs to be shielded from moisture. Use sealed plastic covers with humidity absorbers inside, cap all duct and cable openings, and Choose dry containers whenever possible. For ocean freight, evaluate VCI packaging for long voyages.
Exporting industrial machinery typically involves a customs 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 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 HVAC equipment.
High‑value power equipment are best protected by stand‑alone coverage, 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 factory equipment where lead times and replacement costs are high.
Crated heavy equipment may be stored outdoors short‑term if packaging is designed for it and placed on hardstanding, not bare ground. However, moisture‑sensitive items like industrial fans and 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 plan for timely installation to reduce corrosion and electrical damage.
Industrial Machinery & Construction Equipment requires special handling due to its size and weight. Proper crating, securing, and possibly disassembly may be necessary to ensure safe transport. Additionally, equipment should be cleaned and inspected to comply with international shipping regulations.
Required documentation includes a bill of lading, commercial invoice, packing list, and any necessary export permits from Turkey. Additionally, an import permit and customs declaration will be needed for entry into Mexico, along with compliance with regulations specific to industrial machinery.
