Secure and chock the machine to prevent any movement, and photograph its condition before pickup.
Yes, moisture‑sensitive air handling units Should be Sealed against humidity. Use Shrink wrap with humidity absorbers inside, cap all duct and cable openings, and book dry containers whenever possible. For ocean freight, evaluate enhanced corrosion protection for long voyages.
Exporting heavy equipment typically Requires a Commercial invoice, packing list, Bill of lading, and any regulatory approvals 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, authorities may require certificates of origin, fumigation or ISPM‑15 declarations for wood packaging, and safety or emissions certificates for industrial machines.
High‑value backup generators Should be protected by Separate cargo insurance, as carrier liability is usually limited and may not cover full replacement cost. Insure for Full value, confirm that water damage 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 industrial machinery Can sometimes be stored outdoors short‑term if packaging is Weather‑resistant and placed on Elevated dunnage, not bare ground. However, moisture‑sensitive items like industrial fans and power equipment should ideally be kept under cover or indoors. If outdoor storage is unavoidable, check wraps and tarps regularly, maintain drainage around the site, and limit duration to reduce corrosion and electrical damage.
