Shipping very heavy Industrial machinery demands careful planning. Use Steel‑reinforced skids with clear lifting points, hire experienced machinery movers for loading, and choose step‑deck or lowboy equipment 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 Shrink wrap with drying agents inside, cap all duct and cable openings, and select Enclosed trailers whenever possible. For ocean freight, ask about enhanced corrosion protection for long voyages.
Exporting Construction machinery typically calls for a customs invoice, packing list, Bill of lading, and any control permits applicable to your destination. Most freight forwarders 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 Generators 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 retain 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 Elevated dunnage, not bare ground. However, moisture‑sensitive items like air handling units and backup 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.
Industrial machinery and construction equipment must be properly packaged and secured to withstand ocean freight conditions. Heavy equipment may require specialized crating or containerization to prevent damage during transit. Additionally, equipment should be cleaned and free of soil to comply with international shipping regulations.
Required documentation for customs includes a commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading, and any necessary export licenses. Import permits may also be needed for Brazil, along with compliance with local regulations regarding industrial machinery and construction equipment.
