Shipping Power Equipment from Port Said to Long Beach via Ocean Freight

Shipping very heavy factory equipment demands professional rigging. Use heavy timber skids with clear lifting points, work with experienced machinery movers for loading, and choose step‑deck or lowboy equipment rated for the full load. Secure and chock the machine to prevent any movement, and record its condition before pickup.

Yes, moisture‑sensitive industrial fans must be protected from rain and condensation. Use moisture‑barrier film with humidity absorbers inside, cap all duct and cable openings, and select dry containers whenever possible. For ocean freight, ask about enhanced corrosion protection for long voyages.

Exporting industrial machinery typically calls for a detailed invoice, packing list, waybill, and any regulatory approvals applicable to your destination. Most freight forwarders recommend including serial numbers, model numbers, and precise weights for each unit, especially for backup generators. For some destinations, you should check if you 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 replacement cost, confirm that water damage are covered, and retain 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 are occasionally stored outdoors short‑term if packaging is properly sealed and placed on concrete pads, not bare ground. However, moisture‑sensitive items like industrial fans and backup generators should ideally be kept under cover or indoors. If outdoor storage is unavoidable, verify wraps and tarps regularly, maintain drainage around the site, and limit duration to reduce corrosion and electrical damage.

Shipping industrial machinery and construction equipment requires careful handling due to their size and weight. Proper securing methods must be employed to prevent movement during transport. Additionally, equipment may need to be disassembled to fit into containers, and any hazardous materials must be identified and handled according to regulations.

Required documentation includes a bill of lading, commercial invoice, packing list, and any necessary export/import permits.
