When shipping from Manila to Atlanta via ocean, plan for potential delays due to the Southeast Asia Monsoon Season (May-November) and Western Pacific Typhoon Season (June-November). Add buffer days to schedules and confirm vessel space at least 3-4 weeks in advance during peak periods (July-October). Expect congestion at ports and communicate closely with carriers for real-time updates, especially during the holiday peaks (October-December). Consider flexible routing options to mitigate disruptions from weather and demand spikes throughout the year.

Shipping very heavy Industrial machinery demands careful planning. Use Steel‑reinforced skids with clear lifting points, hire experienced machinery movers for loading, and choose step‑deck or lowboy equipment rated for the full load. Block and brace the machine to prevent any movement, and record its condition before pickup.
Yes, moisture‑sensitive HVAC equipment must be shielded from moisture. Use Shrink wrap with drying agents inside, cap all duct and cable openings, and select Enclosed trailers whenever possible. For ocean freight, ask about VCI packaging for long voyages.
Exporting Construction machinery typically calls for a customs invoice, packing list, Bill of lading, and any control permits applicable to your destination. Most freight forwarders recommend including serial numbers, model numbers, and precise weights for each unit, especially for Generators. For some destinations, you should check if you need certificates of origin, fumigation or ISPM‑15 declarations for wood packaging, and safety or emissions certificates for HVAC equipment.
High‑value Generators are best protected by stand‑alone coverage, as carrier liability is usually limited and may not cover full replacement cost. Insure for Full value, confirm that rigging are covered, and retain 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 Construction machines are occasionally stored outdoors short‑term if packaging is designed for it and placed on Elevated dunnage, not bare ground. However, moisture‑sensitive items like air handling units and backup generators Are better kept under cover or indoors. If outdoor storage is unavoidable, verify wraps and tarps regularly, maintain drainage around the site, and plan for timely installation to reduce corrosion and electrical damage.
Shipping industrial machinery and construction equipment requires careful handling due to their size and weight. It is essential to secure the equipment properly to prevent movement during transit. Additionally, the use of specialized containers or flat racks may be necessary to accommodate oversized items. Proper packing materials should be used to protect sensitive components from saltwater exposure during ocean freight.
Key documentation for customs clearance includes a commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading, and any import permits required by U.S. Customs and Border Protection. Certificates of origin and compliance with U.S. safety standards may also be necessary, depending on the type of industrial machinery or construction equipment being shipped.
