Shipping very heavy factory equipment necessitates professional rigging. Use heavy timber skids with clear lifting points, work with experienced machinery movers for loading, and choose Flatbed or lowboy trailers rated for the full load. Block and brace the machine to prevent any movement, and Document its condition before pickup.
Yes, moisture‑sensitive industrial fans needs to be protected from rain and condensation. Use moisture‑barrier film with humidity absorbers inside, cap all duct and cable openings, and Choose Enclosed trailers whenever possible. For ocean freight, Consider VCI packaging for long voyages.
Exporting industrial machinery typically involves a detailed invoice, packing list, waybill, and any regulatory approvals applicable to your destination. We recommend including serial numbers, model numbers, and precise weights for each unit, especially for Generators. For some destinations, You may also need certificates of origin, fumigation or ISPM‑15 declarations for wood packaging, and safety or emissions certificates for HVAC equipment.
High‑value power equipment are best protected by a dedicated policy, as carrier liability is usually limited and may not cover full replacement cost. Insure for replacement cost, 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 Industrial machinery where lead times and replacement costs are high.
Crated heavy equipment may be stored outdoors short‑term if packaging is properly sealed and placed on concrete pads, not bare ground. However, moisture‑sensitive items like industrial fans and Generators Are better kept under cover or indoors. If outdoor storage is unavoidable, Inspect wraps and tarps regularly, maintain drainage around the site, and plan for timely installation to reduce corrosion and electrical damage.
When shipping industrial machinery and construction equipment, it is essential to ensure proper securing and stabilization of the cargo to prevent damage during transit. Additionally, oversized or heavy equipment may require specialized containers or flat racks, and sufficient load planning is crucial given the route's distance and the potential for rough sea conditions.
The required documentation for customs includes a commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading, and any necessary export permits from China. Import permits and compliance with Mexican regulations, including any specific certifications for industrial machinery, may also be required to facilitate the clearance process at the Altamira port.
