Shipping Factory Equipment from Montreal to Omaha via Ocean Freight

Shipping very heavy factory equipment Requires professional rigging.

Yes, moisture‑sensitive industrial fans Should be protected from rain and condensation.

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 total project value, confirm that water damage 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 heavy equipment Can sometimes be stored outdoors short‑term if packaging is properly sealed and placed on hardstanding, not bare ground.
