When shipping from Lazaro Cardenas, Mexico to Laem Chabang, Thailand, prepare for the Eastern Pacific Hurricane Season (June-November) and account for potential delays due to typhoons (August-October). Book vessel space well in advance during the Christmas retail peak (October-December) to avoid congestion and add buffer days for transit times. Additionally, coordinate closely with carriers for schedule updates during the Western New Year holiday period (December 20-January 5) to mitigate disruptions.

Shipping very heavy factory equipment demands professional rigging. 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. Secure and chock the machine to prevent any movement, and photograph its condition before pickup.
Yes, moisture‑sensitive industrial fans must be protected from rain and condensation. Use moisture‑barrier film with Desiccant packs inside, cap all duct and cable openings, and Choose dry containers whenever possible. For ocean freight, evaluate Dehumidified or ventilated containers for long voyages.
Exporting industrial machinery typically calls for a detailed 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 backup generators. For some destinations, authorities may require certificates of origin, fumigation or ISPM‑15 declarations for wood packaging, and safety or emissions certificates for Construction machines.
High‑value power equipment are best protected by a dedicated policy, 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 factory equipment where lead times and replacement costs are high.
Crated heavy equipment are occasionally stored outdoors short‑term if packaging is properly sealed and placed on concrete pads, not bare ground. However, moisture‑sensitive items like HVAC equipment and Generators should ideally be kept under cover or indoors. If outdoor storage is unavoidable, check 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 require careful packing and securing to prevent damage during the 15,734 km ocean freight journey. It is essential to use appropriate containers and support structures to stabilize the cargo, considering the weight and dimensions of the equipment.
The necessary documentation for customs includes a bill of lading, commercial invoice, packing list, and any specific export/import permits required by Mexican and Thai authorities. Additionally, compliance with regulations regarding the import of industrial machinery into Thailand, such as safety and environmental standards, must be ensured.
