Shipping very heavy industrial machines demands careful planning. Use purpose‑built skids with clear lifting points, hire experienced machinery movers for loading, and choose Flatbed or lowboy trailers rated for the full load. Stabilize and strap the machine to prevent any movement, and photograph its condition before pickup.
Yes, moisture‑sensitive air handling units must be shielded from moisture. Use sealed plastic covers with drying agents inside, cap all duct and cable openings, and Choose covered transport whenever possible. For ocean freight, evaluate Dehumidified or ventilated containers for long voyages.
Exporting heavy equipment typically calls for a customs invoice, packing list, transport document, and any control permits applicable to your destination. We recommend including serial numbers, model numbers, and precise weights for each unit, especially for power equipment. For some destinations, authorities may require certificates of origin, fumigation or ISPM‑15 declarations for wood packaging, and safety or emissions certificates for Construction machines.
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 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 industrial machinery are occasionally stored outdoors short‑term if packaging is designed for it and placed on hardstanding, not bare ground. However, moisture‑sensitive items like air handling units and Generators are safest under cover or indoors. If outdoor storage is unavoidable, check wraps and tarps regularly, maintain drainage around the site, and Avoid long‑term exposure to reduce corrosion and electrical damage.
Shipping industrial machinery and construction equipment requires careful handling to prevent damage during transit. This includes securing machinery properly for ocean freight, using appropriate crating and packaging, and ensuring that all equipment is cleaned to meet customs regulations and prevent the spread of pests.
