Shipping Air Handling Units from Salalah to Denver via Ocean Freight

Shipping very heavy factory equipment demands Engineered crating. Use heavy timber skids with clear lifting points, hire experienced machinery movers for loading, and choose Flatbed or lowboy trailers rated for the full load. Block and brace the machine to prevent any movement, and record its condition before pickup.

Yes, moisture‑sensitive industrial fans must be Sealed against humidity. Use moisture‑barrier film with drying agents inside, cap all duct and cable openings, and Choose Enclosed trailers whenever possible. For ocean freight, ask about enhanced corrosion protection for long voyages.

Exporting industrial machinery typically calls for a Commercial invoice, packing list, waybill, and any control permits applicable to your destination. We 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 industrial machines.

High‑value power equipment Should be protected by Separate cargo insurance, as carrier liability is usually limited and may not cover full replacement cost. Insure for replacement cost, 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 Industrial machinery where lead times and replacement costs are high.

Crated heavy equipment are occasionally stored outdoors short‑term if packaging is Weather‑resistant and placed on concrete pads, not bare ground. However, moisture‑sensitive items like air handling units and Generators Are better 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.

When shipping Industrial Machinery & Construction Equipment, it is essential to ensure that the items are securely packed and properly crated to withstand ocean transport. Heavy machinery must be loaded onto flat racks or in containers with appropriate securing methods to prevent movement during transit. Additionally, oversized equipment may require special permits for loading and unloading at both ports.

The required documentation for customs includes a commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading, and any necessary export permits from Oman. Importantly, compliance with U.S. Customs and Border Protection regulations is essential, which may also require a declaration of the machinery's compliance with U.S. safety and environmental standards.
