Shipping Generators from Oakland to Itapoa via Ocean Freight

Shipping very heavy factory equipment Requires professional rigging. Use purpose‑built skids with clear lifting points, work with 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 Document its condition before pickup.

Yes, moisture‑sensitive industrial fans Should be protected from rain and condensation. Use sealed plastic covers with humidity absorbers inside, cap all duct and cable openings, and Choose dry containers whenever possible. For ocean freight, Consider enhanced corrosion protection for long voyages.

Exporting industrial machinery typically Requires a detailed invoice, packing list, transport document, and any regulatory approvals 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 may also need certificates of origin, fumigation or ISPM‑15 declarations for wood packaging, and safety or emissions certificates for industrial machines.

High‑value power equipment 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 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 factory equipment where lead times and replacement costs are high.

Crated heavy equipment Can sometimes be stored outdoors short‑term if packaging is properly sealed and placed on hardstanding, not bare ground. However, moisture‑sensitive items like industrial fans and Generators should ideally be kept under cover or indoors. If outdoor storage is unavoidable, Inspect wraps and tarps regularly, maintain drainage around the site, and limit duration to reduce corrosion and electrical damage.

When shipping industrial machinery and construction equipment, it is essential to ensure proper loading and securing of the cargo to prevent damage during transit. Equipment should be disassembled if possible, and appropriate packaging should be used to protect sensitive components. Additionally, compliance with weight and size restrictions at both ports is crucial.

Required documentation includes a commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading, and any necessary export permits. Import permits and customs declarations must also be prepared for Brazilian authorities to ensure compliance with local regulations for industrial machinery and construction equipment.

Our team can handle growing SKUs, shipment volume, and integration needs with agile processes and scalable systems, while many other forwarders struggle with rigid processes and patchwork systems that break under growth.

Customers move to DNA because we offer smarter tech, faster answers, AI-backed visibility, deep carrier relationships, and support from people who act like an extension of their team, rather than relying on slow, impersonal processes.

Our team serves retail and hospitality, technology and electronics, industrial manufacturing, healthcare equipment, and complex spare parts and machinery, and we can move global freight for other sectors as well.
