Shipping very heavy Industrial machinery demands professional rigging. Use purpose‑built skids with clear lifting points, hire experienced machinery movers for loading, and choose step‑deck or lowboy equipment rated for the full load. Stabilize and strap the machine to prevent any movement, and record its condition before pickup.
Yes, moisture‑sensitive HVAC equipment must be protected from rain and condensation. Use sealed plastic covers with drying agents inside, cap all duct and cable openings, and select covered transport whenever possible. For ocean freight, ask about VCI packaging for long voyages.
Exporting Construction machinery typically calls for a detailed invoice, packing list, transport document, and any control permits applicable to your destination. Most freight forwarders recommend including serial numbers, model numbers, and precise weights for each unit, especially for power equipment. 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 HVAC equipment.
High‑value Generators are best 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 rigging are covered, and retain 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 Construction machines are occasionally stored outdoors short‑term if packaging is properly sealed and placed on hardstanding, not bare ground. However, moisture‑sensitive items like air handling units and backup generators are safest under cover or indoors. If outdoor storage is unavoidable, verify wraps and tarps regularly, maintain drainage around the site, and plan for timely installation to reduce corrosion and electrical damage.
