Shipping very heavy Industrial machinery demands Engineered crating. Use Steel‑reinforced 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 photograph its condition before pickup.
Yes, moisture‑sensitive HVAC equipment must be Sealed against humidity. Use Shrink wrap with humidity absorbers inside, cap all duct and cable openings, and Choose dry containers whenever possible. For ocean freight, evaluate VCI packaging for long voyages.
Exporting Construction machinery typically calls for a Commercial invoice, packing list, Bill of lading, 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, authorities may require certificates of origin, fumigation or ISPM‑15 declarations for wood packaging, and safety or emissions certificates for HVAC equipment.
High‑value Generators are best protected by Separate cargo insurance, as carrier liability is usually limited and may not cover full replacement cost. Insure for Full 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 Construction machines are occasionally stored outdoors short‑term if packaging is Weather‑resistant and placed on Elevated dunnage, 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, check wraps and tarps regularly, maintain drainage around the site, and plan for timely installation to reduce corrosion and electrical damage.
Industrial machinery and construction equipment require specialized handling due to their size and weight. Proper securing methods, such as using flat racks or open-top containers, are essential to prevent damage during ocean transport. Additionally, equipment may need to be disassembled to fit within container dimensions, and heavy-lift equipment may be necessary for loading and unloading.
Required documentation for customs includes a commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading, and any specific export licenses for industrial machinery and construction equipment. Import permits may also be needed for Brazil, along with compliance with Brazilian regulatory requirements regarding safety and environmental standards.
