Use Steel‑reinforced skids with clear lifting points, hire experienced machinery movers for loading, and choose suitable heavy‑haul trailers rated for the full load. Secure and chock the machine to prevent any movement, and record its condition before pickup.
Yes, moisture‑sensitive air handling units needs to be shielded from moisture. Use Shrink wrap with drying agents inside, cap all duct and cable openings, and book dry containers whenever possible. For ocean freight, ask about enhanced corrosion protection for long voyages.
Exporting heavy equipment typically involves a customs invoice, packing list, Bill of lading, and any control permits applicable to your destination. Customs brokers typically recommend including serial numbers, model numbers, and precise weights for each unit, especially for backup 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 backup generators are best 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 store inspection reports and photos in case you need to file a claim. This is especially important for custom‑built factory equipment where lead times and replacement costs are high.
Crated industrial machinery may be 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 power equipment should ideally be 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.
Required documentation includes a commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading, and specific import permits as mandated by Brazilian customs for industrial machinery and construction equipment.
Seasonal considerations may include weather patterns such as the rainy season in Manaus, which can affect port operations and handling of cargo. It is advisable to monitor weather forecasts and potential disruptions during peak rainy months.
