Shipping Industrial Fans from Newark to Ningbo via Ocean Freight

Shipping very heavy industrial machines Requires professional rigging. Use purpose‑built skids with clear lifting points, Engage 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 air handling units Should be protected from rain and condensation. Use sealed plastic covers with Desiccant packs inside, cap all duct and cable openings, and Choose dry containers whenever possible. For ocean freight, ask about enhanced corrosion protection for long voyages.

Exporting heavy equipment typically Requires a detailed invoice, packing list, transport document, and any Export licenses applicable to your destination. We recommend including serial numbers, model numbers, and precise weights for each unit, especially for backup generators. 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 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 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 factory equipment where lead times and replacement costs are high.

Crated industrial machinery Can sometimes be stored outdoors short‑term if packaging is properly sealed and placed on hardstanding, not bare ground. However, moisture‑sensitive items like HVAC equipment 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 limit duration to reduce corrosion and electrical damage.

Required documentation includes a commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading, and any necessary export licenses. Additionally, customs declarations must comply with both U.S. export regulations and Chinese import regulations.

Due to the size and weight of industrial machinery and construction equipment, proper securing and loading techniques are essential to prevent damage during transit. It's important to use appropriate containers or flat racks, and to ensure that all equipment is adequately prepared for ocean conditions, including potential exposure to moisture and saltwater.
