Exporting Construction machinery typically involves a detailed invoice, packing list, transport document, and any control permits applicable to your destination.

High‑value Generators are best 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 rigging 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 properly sealed and placed on hardstanding, not bare ground.

If outdoor storage is unavoidable, Inspect wraps and tarps regularly, maintain drainage around the site, and Avoid long‑term exposure to reduce corrosion and electrical damage.
