Shipping Factory Equipment from La Guaira to Savannah via Ocean Freight

Shipping very heavy Industrial machinery Requires 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. Stabilize and strap the machine to prevent any movement, and Document its condition before pickup.

Yes, moisture‑sensitive HVAC equipment Should be shielded from moisture. Use sealed plastic covers with humidity absorbers inside, cap all duct and cable openings, and Choose covered transport whenever possible. For ocean freight, Consider Dehumidified or ventilated containers for long voyages.

Exporting Construction machinery typically Requires 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 power equipment. For some destinations, You may also need certificates of origin, fumigation or ISPM‑15 declarations for wood packaging, and safety or emissions certificates for Construction machines.

High‑value Generators Should be 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 construction machinery where lead times and replacement costs are high.

Crated Construction machines Can sometimes 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 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 & Construction Equipment should be securely packed and appropriately crated to withstand ocean transport. It's important to ensure that heavy machinery is properly loaded, with weight distribution balanced to prevent shifting during transit. Additionally, equipment may require disassembly for shipping to fit within container dimensions.

Required documentation includes a commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading, and any necessary export permits from Venezuelan authorities. Additionally, import documentation for the United States must be prepared, including an entry manifest and any relevant compliance certifications for industrial machinery and construction equipment.
