Shipping very heavy factory equipment Requires Engineered crating. Use heavy timber skids with clear lifting points, Engage 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 Document its condition before pickup.
Yes, moisture‑sensitive industrial fans Should be Sealed against humidity. Use moisture‑barrier film with Desiccant packs inside, cap all duct and cable openings, and Choose Enclosed trailers whenever possible. For ocean freight, Consider VCI packaging for long voyages.
Exporting industrial machinery typically Requires a Commercial invoice, packing list, waybill, and any Export licenses applicable to your destination. We recommend including serial numbers, model numbers, and precise weights for each unit, especially for Generators. For some destinations, You may also need certificates of origin, fumigation or ISPM‑15 declarations for wood packaging, and safety or emissions certificates for HVAC equipment.
High‑value power equipment Should be protected by Separate cargo insurance, 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 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 heavy equipment Can sometimes be stored outdoors short‑term if packaging is Weather‑resistant and placed on concrete pads, not bare ground. However, moisture‑sensitive items like HVAC equipment and Generators Are better kept under cover or indoors. If outdoor storage is unavoidable, Inspect wraps and tarps regularly, maintain drainage around the site, and plan for timely installation to reduce corrosion and electrical damage.
