When shipping from Itapoa, Brazil to Colon, Panama, account for the Brazilian wet season (October-March) by adding flexibility into your schedules due to potential flooding and delays.

Shipping very heavy Industrial machinery necessitates Engineered crating. Use heavy timber skids with clear lifting points, hire 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 record its condition before pickup.
Yes, moisture‑sensitive HVAC equipment needs to be Sealed against humidity. Use moisture‑barrier film with drying agents inside, cap all duct and cable openings, and Choose Enclosed trailers whenever possible. For ocean freight, ask about VCI packaging for long voyages.
Exporting Construction machinery typically involves a Commercial invoice, packing list, waybill, and any control permits applicable to your destination. We recommend including serial numbers, model numbers, and precise weights for each unit, especially for 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 HVAC equipment.
High‑value Generators are best protected by Separate cargo insurance, as carrier liability is usually limited and may not cover full replacement cost. Insure for replacement cost, confirm that rigging 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 Construction machines may be stored outdoors short‑term if packaging is Weather‑resistant and placed on concrete pads, not bare ground. However, moisture‑sensitive items like air handling units and Generators Are better kept under cover or indoors. If outdoor storage is unavoidable, verify wraps and tarps regularly, maintain drainage around the site, and plan for timely installation to reduce corrosion and electrical damage.
Industrial Machinery & Construction Equipment must be securely packaged and loaded to withstand ocean transport. Proper weight distribution is crucial to ensure stability during transit. Additionally, equipment may require disassembly to meet shipping size constraints.
