Shipping Industrial Machines from Nansha to Altamira via Ocean Freight

Shipping very heavy factory equipment Requires professional rigging. Use Steel‑reinforced skids with clear lifting points, hire experienced machinery movers for loading, and choose Flatbed or lowboy trailers rated for the full load. Secure and chock the machine to prevent any movement, and record its condition before pickup.

Yes, moisture‑sensitive industrial fans Should be protected from rain and condensation. Use Shrink wrap with drying agents inside, cap all duct and cable openings, and Choose dry containers whenever possible. For ocean freight, ask about Dehumidified or ventilated containers for long voyages.

Exporting industrial machinery typically Requires a detailed invoice, packing list, Bill of lading, and any control permits applicable to your destination.

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 Construction 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 Full value, confirm that rigging are covered, and Keep 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 Elevated dunnage, not bare ground. However, moisture‑sensitive items like air handling units and Generators should ideally be kept under cover or indoors. If outdoor storage is unavoidable, verify wraps and tarps regularly, maintain drainage around the site, and Avoid long‑term exposure to reduce corrosion and electrical damage.
