Shipping very heavy factory equipment demands careful planning. Use Steel‑reinforced 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 photograph its condition before pickup.
Yes, moisture‑sensitive industrial fans must be shielded from moisture. Use Shrink wrap with drying agents inside, cap all duct and cable openings, and Choose Enclosed trailers whenever possible. For ocean freight, evaluate Dehumidified or ventilated containers for long voyages.
Exporting industrial machinery typically calls for a customs invoice, packing list, Bill of lading, 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, authorities may require certificates of origin, fumigation or ISPM‑15 declarations for wood packaging, and safety or emissions certificates for Construction machines.
High‑value power equipment Should be protected by stand‑alone coverage, as carrier liability is usually limited and may not cover full replacement cost. Insure for Full 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 Industrial machinery where lead times and replacement costs are high.
Crated heavy equipment are occasionally stored outdoors short‑term if packaging is designed for it and placed on Elevated dunnage, 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, check wraps and tarps regularly, maintain drainage around the site, and Avoid long‑term exposure to reduce corrosion and electrical damage.
