Shipping Backup Generators from Shekou to Teoloyucan via Ocean Freight

Shipping very heavy industrial machines demands Engineered crating. Use purpose‑built 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 air handling units must be Sealed against humidity. Use sealed plastic covers with drying agents inside, cap all duct and cable openings, and select Enclosed trailers whenever possible. For ocean freight, ask about Dehumidified or ventilated containers for long voyages.

Exporting heavy equipment typically calls for a Commercial invoice, packing list, transport document, and any control permits applicable to your destination.

High‑value backup generators are best protected by Separate cargo insurance, as carrier liability is usually limited and may not cover full replacement cost. Insure for total project 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 industrial machinery are occasionally stored outdoors short‑term if packaging is Weather‑resistant and placed on hardstanding, 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 Avoid long‑term exposure to reduce corrosion and electrical damage.

When shipping industrial machinery and construction equipment, it is essential to ensure proper packing and securing of the cargo to prevent damage during ocean transit. This may include using specialized crating or bracing techniques. Additionally, due to the size and weight of such equipment, it is important to verify that the shipping vessel has the capacity and equipment to handle heavy lift operations.
