Be mindful of the Atlantic Hurricane Season (June-November) by building in buffer days for potential weather disruptions and securing alternative ports of refuge during peak storm activity (August-October). Prepare for increased congestion during the North America Summer Holiday Peak (late June-early September) and the Christmas Retail Peak (October-December), necessitating early bookings and flexible delivery windows. Additionally, review your logistics plans for the Western New Year holiday period (December 20-January 5) to mitigate staffing shortages and potential delays.

Shipping very heavy Industrial machinery necessitates Engineered crating. Use Steel‑reinforced skids with clear lifting points, Engage experienced machinery movers for loading, and choose Flatbed or lowboy trailers rated for the full load. Stabilize and strap the machine to prevent any movement, and record its condition before pickup.
Yes, moisture‑sensitive HVAC equipment needs to be Sealed against humidity. Use Shrink wrap with Desiccant packs inside, cap all duct and cable openings, and Choose covered transport whenever possible. For ocean freight, ask about VCI packaging for long voyages.
Exporting Construction machinery typically involves a Commercial invoice, packing list, Bill of lading, and any Export licenses applicable to your destination. We recommend including serial numbers, model numbers, and precise weights for each unit, especially for power equipment. 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 Separate cargo insurance, as carrier liability is usually limited and may not cover full replacement cost. Insure for Full value, 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 construction machinery where lead times and replacement costs are high.
Crated Construction machines may be stored outdoors short‑term if packaging is Weather‑resistant and placed on Elevated dunnage, not bare ground. However, moisture‑sensitive items like HVAC equipment and Generators are safest 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.
