Plan for potential disruptions during the Atlantic Hurricane Season (June-November) by building in buffer days and flexible delivery windows. Expect increased congestion and longer transit times during the North America Winter Storms (December-March), so secure capacity and adjust lead times accordingly. Additionally, account for tight capacity during the Back to School demand peak (late July-September) and the Christmas Retail Peak (October-December) by confirming bookings well in advance and allowing for extended handling times.

Shipping very heavy factory equipment Requires professional rigging. Use heavy timber skids with clear lifting points, hire 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 photograph its condition before pickup.
Yes, moisture‑sensitive industrial fans Should be protected from rain and condensation. Use moisture‑barrier film with drying agents inside, cap all duct and cable openings, and book dry containers whenever possible. For ocean freight, evaluate enhanced corrosion protection for long voyages.
Exporting industrial machinery typically Requires a detailed invoice, packing list, waybill, and any control permits 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 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 rigging 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 Can sometimes be stored outdoors short‑term if packaging is properly sealed and placed on concrete pads, not bare ground. However, moisture‑sensitive items like air handling units 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.
The documentation required includes a commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading, and any necessary customs declarations. Specific permits may also be needed for industrial machinery due to regulatory requirements.
Seasonal considerations include potential weather impacts, such as heavy rainfall during the summer months in Mexico and snow or ice during winter in the United States, which may affect road conditions and transportation safety.
