Shipping Air Handling Units from Savannah to Hong Kong via Ocean Freight

Shipping very heavy factory equipment necessitates professional rigging. Use purpose‑built skids with clear lifting points, work with experienced machinery movers for loading, and choose step‑deck or lowboy equipment rated for the full load. Stabilize and strap the machine to prevent any movement, and record its condition before pickup.

Yes, moisture‑sensitive industrial fans needs to be protected from rain and condensation. Use sealed plastic covers with humidity absorbers inside, cap all duct and cable openings, and select covered transport whenever possible. For ocean freight, ask about Dehumidified or ventilated containers for long voyages.

Exporting industrial machinery typically involves a detailed invoice, packing list, transport document, and any regulatory approvals applicable to your destination. Most freight forwarders recommend including serial numbers, model numbers, and precise weights for each unit, especially for power equipment. 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 power equipment are best protected by a dedicated policy, 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 retain 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 heavy equipment may be stored outdoors short‑term if packaging is properly sealed and placed on hardstanding, not bare ground. However, moisture‑sensitive items like industrial fans and backup generators are safest 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.
