Shipping Heavy Equipment from Manila to Istanbul via Ocean Freight

Shipping very heavy factory equipment demands careful planning. 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 photograph its condition before pickup.

Yes, moisture‑sensitive industrial fans must be shielded from moisture. Use moisture‑barrier film with Desiccant packs inside, cap all duct and cable openings, and Choose Enclosed trailers whenever possible. For ocean freight, evaluate VCI packaging for long voyages.

Exporting industrial machinery typically calls for a customs 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, authorities may require certificates of origin, fumigation or ISPM‑15 declarations for wood packaging, and safety or emissions certificates for HVAC equipment.

High‑value power equipment are best protected by stand‑alone coverage, 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 are occasionally stored outdoors short‑term if packaging is designed for it 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, check wraps and tarps regularly, maintain drainage around the site, and plan for timely installation to reduce corrosion and electrical damage.

When shipping industrial machinery and construction equipment, ensure that all items are securely packed and properly loaded to withstand ocean transport. Considerations include using reinforced packaging to prevent damage, securing machinery to pallets or crates, and ensuring that all equipment is clean and free of dirt to comply with customs regulations in Turkey.

Required documentation typically includes a commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading, and any necessary export permits. Additionally, a certificate of origin may be required to verify the product's origin, and compliance with Turkey's import regulations for industrial machinery and construction equipment must be ensured.
