Shipping very heavy industrial machines demands careful planning. Use Steel‑reinforced skids with clear lifting points, Engage experienced machinery movers for loading, and choose step‑deck or lowboy equipment rated for the full load. Secure and chock the machine to prevent any movement, and photograph its condition before pickup.
Yes, moisture‑sensitive air handling units must be shielded from moisture. Use Shrink wrap with Desiccant packs inside, cap all duct and cable openings, and select dry containers whenever possible. For ocean freight, evaluate Dehumidified or ventilated containers for long voyages.
Exporting heavy equipment typically calls for a customs invoice, packing list, Bill of lading, and any Export licenses applicable to your destination. Most freight forwarders recommend including serial numbers, model numbers, and precise weights for each unit, especially for backup generators. For some destinations, authorities may require certificates of origin, fumigation or ISPM‑15 declarations for wood packaging, and safety or emissions certificates for Construction machines.
High‑value backup generators are best protected by stand‑alone coverage, as carrier liability is usually limited and may not cover full replacement cost. Insure for Full value, confirm that Loading and unloading are covered, and retain 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 are occasionally stored outdoors short‑term if packaging is designed for it and placed on Elevated dunnage, not bare ground. However, moisture‑sensitive items like HVAC equipment and backup generators should ideally be kept under cover or indoors. If outdoor storage is unavoidable, check wraps and tarps regularly, maintain drainage around the site, and Avoid long‑term exposure to reduce corrosion and electrical damage.
The required documentation includes a bill of lading, commercial invoice, packing list, and any applicable export permits from Mexico. Additionally, customs clearance documentation must be prepared for entry into the United States, which may include a Certificate of Origin and compliance with U.S. regulations regarding industrial machinery.
