Yes, moisture‑sensitive HVAC equipment needs to be shielded from moisture. Use sealed plastic covers with Desiccant packs inside, cap all duct and cable openings, and Choose covered transport whenever possible. For ocean freight, Consider VCI packaging for long voyages.
Exporting Construction machinery typically involves a customs invoice, packing list, transport document, and any Export licenses applicable to your destination. We recommend including serial numbers, model numbers, and precise weights for each unit, especially for power equipment. 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 Generators are best protected by stand‑alone coverage, as carrier liability is usually limited and may not cover full replacement cost. Insure for total project value, confirm that Loading and unloading are covered, and Keep inspection reports and photos in case you need to file a claim. This is especially important for custom‑built construction machinery where lead times and replacement costs are high.
Crated Construction machines may be stored outdoors short‑term if packaging is designed for it and placed on hardstanding, not bare ground. However, moisture‑sensitive items like HVAC equipment and Generators are safest 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.

It is essential to use appropriate lifting equipment and secure the cargo properly to prevent damage during transit.
