Shipping very heavy industrial machines necessitates careful planning. Use heavy timber skids with clear lifting points, hire 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 air handling units needs to be shielded from moisture. Use moisture‑barrier film with drying agents inside, cap all duct and cable openings, and Choose dry containers whenever possible. For ocean freight, evaluate VCI packaging for long voyages.
Exporting heavy equipment typically involves a customs invoice, packing list, waybill, and any control permits 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 backup generators are best protected by stand‑alone coverage, as carrier liability is usually limited and may not cover full replacement cost. Insure for replacement cost, confirm that rigging 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 may be stored outdoors short‑term if packaging is designed for it and placed on concrete pads, not bare ground. However, moisture‑sensitive items like air handling units 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.
When shipping Industrial Machinery & Construction Equipment, it is essential to ensure proper securing and packing to prevent damage during transit. Equipment should be disassembled if necessary to fit container specifications, and appropriate dunnage should be used to stabilize heavy machinery.
Required documentation includes a commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading, and any necessary export permits from Malaysia. Additionally, import documentation such as a customs declaration and any relevant certifications for industrial machinery may be required upon arrival in Mexico.
