Shipping very heavy industrial machines demands Engineered crating. Use heavy timber skids with clear lifting points, Engage experienced machinery movers for loading, and choose Flatbed or lowboy trailers rated for the full load.

Yes, moisture‑sensitive air handling units must be Sealed against humidity. Use moisture‑barrier film with Desiccant packs inside, cap all duct and cable openings, and Choose covered transport whenever possible. For ocean freight, ask about enhanced corrosion protection for long voyages.
Exporting heavy equipment typically calls for a Commercial invoice, packing list, waybill, and any Export licenses applicable to your destination. We 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 industrial machines.
High‑value backup generators are best protected by Separate cargo insurance, as carrier liability is usually limited and may not cover full replacement cost. Insure for replacement cost, confirm that Loading and unloading 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 industrial machinery are occasionally stored outdoors short‑term if packaging is Weather‑resistant and placed on concrete pads, not bare ground. However, moisture‑sensitive items like HVAC equipment and Generators are safest under cover or indoors. If outdoor storage is unavoidable, verify wraps and tarps regularly, maintain drainage around the site, and limit duration to reduce corrosion and electrical damage.
Due to the size and weight of industrial machinery and construction equipment, specialized handling equipment is often required during loading and unloading. Additionally, securing the cargo properly is crucial to prevent movement during transit.
Shipments must comply with Brazilian customs regulations, including proper documentation such as the import license, commercial invoice, and packing list. Additionally, machinery may need to meet specific environmental and safety standards set by Brazilian authorities.
