High‑value Generators are best 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 Keep 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 Construction machines may 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 Generators are safest under cover or indoors. If outdoor storage is unavoidable, check wraps and tarps regularly, maintain drainage around the site, and limit duration to reduce corrosion and electrical damage.

When shipping industrial machinery and construction equipment via ocean freight, it is important to ensure that all items are securely packaged and properly loaded to prevent damage during transit.
