Shipping Air Handling Units from San Juan to Taipei via Ocean Freight

Use purpose‑built skids with clear lifting points, work with experienced machinery movers for loading, and choose suitable heavy‑haul trailers rated for the full load. Stabilize and strap the machine to prevent any movement, and Document its condition before pickup.

Yes, moisture‑sensitive air handling units Should be shielded from moisture. Use sealed plastic covers with humidity absorbers inside, cap all duct and cable openings, and book covered transport whenever possible. For ocean freight, Consider VCI packaging for long voyages.

Customs brokers typically recommend including serial numbers, model numbers, and precise weights for each unit, especially for power equipment. For some destinations, You may also need certificates of origin, fumigation or ISPM‑15 declarations for wood packaging, and safety or emissions certificates for HVAC equipment.

High‑value backup 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 water damage are covered, and store 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 Can sometimes be stored outdoors short‑term if packaging is designed for it and placed on hardstanding, not bare ground. However, moisture‑sensitive items like industrial fans and power equipment are safest under cover or indoors. If outdoor storage is unavoidable, Inspect wraps and tarps regularly, maintain drainage around the site, and plan for timely installation to reduce corrosion and electrical damage.
