Shipping very heavy Industrial machinery demands careful planning. Use purpose‑built skids with clear lifting points, hire experienced machinery movers for loading, and choose suitable heavy‑haul trailers rated for the full load. Block and brace the machine to prevent any movement, and record its condition before pickup.
Yes, moisture‑sensitive HVAC equipment must be shielded from moisture. Use sealed plastic covers with drying agents inside, cap all duct and cable openings, and book Enclosed trailers whenever possible. For ocean freight, ask about Dehumidified or ventilated containers for long voyages.
Exporting Construction machinery typically calls for a customs invoice, packing list, transport document, and any control permits applicable to your destination. Customs brokers typically recommend including serial numbers, model numbers, and precise weights for each unit, especially for 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 Construction machines.
High‑value Generators Should be 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 store inspection reports and photos in case you need to file a claim. This is especially important for custom‑built Industrial machinery where lead times and replacement costs are high.
Crated Construction machines 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 power equipment Are better kept under cover or indoors. If outdoor storage is unavoidable, verify wraps and tarps regularly, maintain drainage around the site, and Avoid long‑term exposure to reduce corrosion and electrical damage.
Required documentation typically includes a commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading, and any necessary export permits from China, as well as import permits and customs declarations for Brazil.
Due to the size and weight of industrial machinery and construction equipment, proper packaging and securing are crucial to prevent damage during transit. Additionally, it's important to consider compliance with both Chinese export regulations and Brazilian import regulations regarding safety and environmental standards.
