Yes, moisture‑sensitive air handling units needs to be shielded from moisture. Use moisture‑barrier film with Desiccant packs inside, cap all duct and cable openings, and select covered transport whenever possible. For ocean freight, Consider Dehumidified or ventilated containers for long voyages.
Exporting heavy equipment typically involves a customs invoice, packing list, waybill, and any Export licenses applicable to your destination. Most freight forwarders recommend including serial numbers, model numbers, and precise weights for each unit, especially for power equipment.

High‑value backup generators are best protected by stand‑alone coverage, as carrier liability is usually limited and may not cover full replacement cost. Insure for replacement cost, confirm that Loading and unloading are covered, and retain 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 industrial machinery may be stored outdoors short‑term if packaging is designed for it and placed on concrete pads, not bare ground. However, moisture‑sensitive items like HVAC equipment and backup generators 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.
Industrial machinery and construction equipment must be securely packed and properly loaded onto vessels to prevent damage during transit. Additionally, oversized or heavy items may require special handling equipment and may need to be transported on flat racks or in open-top containers.
