Shipping very heavy factory equipment demands professional rigging. Use heavy timber skids with clear lifting points, Engage experienced machinery movers for loading, and choose suitable heavy‑haul trailers rated for the full load. Secure and chock the machine to prevent any movement, and Document 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 book dry containers whenever possible. For ocean freight, Consider 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. Customs brokers typically recommend including serial numbers, model numbers, and precise weights for each unit, especially for backup 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 Construction machines.
High‑value power equipment Should be 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 store 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 power equipment should ideally be kept 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.
When shipping industrial machinery and construction equipment, it is important to ensure that all items are securely packed and properly labeled to withstand ocean freight conditions. Additionally, heavy machinery may require special loading and unloading equipment at both ports to ensure safe handling.
Required documentation includes a commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading, and any necessary export licenses. Import regulations in Taiwan may also require specific certificates or declarations related to the machinery, such as compliance with safety standards.
