Shipping very heavy industrial machines necessitates 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. Stabilize and strap the machine to prevent any movement, and photograph its condition before pickup.
Yes, moisture‑sensitive air handling units needs to be protected from rain and condensation. Use moisture‑barrier film with drying agents inside, cap all duct and cable openings, and book covered transport whenever possible. For ocean freight, evaluate VCI packaging for long voyages.
Exporting heavy equipment typically involves 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 power equipment. 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 backup generators are best 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 construction machinery where lead times and replacement costs are high.
Crated industrial machinery may 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 are safest 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.
Required documentation includes a bill of lading, commercial invoice, packing list, and any necessary import/export permits specific to industrial machinery and construction equipment. Ensure compliance with Mexican customs regulations to avoid delays.
Yes, due to the weight and size of industrial machinery and construction equipment, it is important to secure proper loading and unloading equipment at both locations. Additionally, ensure that vehicles used for transport comply with weight restrictions on the route.
