Shipping very heavy industrial machines necessitates professional rigging. Use Steel‑reinforced skids with clear lifting points, work with experienced machinery movers for loading, and choose step‑deck or lowboy equipment 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 protected from rain and condensation. Use Shrink wrap with humidity absorbers inside, cap all duct and cable openings, and select dry containers whenever possible. For ocean freight, ask about VCI packaging for long voyages.
Exporting heavy equipment typically involves a detailed invoice, packing list, Bill of lading, 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 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 HVAC equipment.
High‑value backup generators are best protected by a dedicated policy, as carrier liability is usually limited and may not cover full replacement cost. Insure for Full 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 factory equipment where lead times and replacement costs are high.
Crated industrial machinery may be stored outdoors short‑term if packaging is properly sealed and placed on Elevated dunnage, not bare ground. However, moisture‑sensitive items like industrial fans and backup generators should ideally be kept under cover or indoors. If outdoor storage is unavoidable, verify wraps and tarps regularly, maintain drainage around the site, and plan for timely installation to reduce corrosion and electrical damage.
When shipping industrial machinery and construction equipment, it is essential to ensure proper securing and bracing of the cargo to withstand ocean conditions. Heavy machinery may require specialized containers or flat racks due to their size and weight, and it is crucial to use appropriate lifting equipment during loading and unloading at both ports.
Essential documentation for customs clearance includes a bill of lading, commercial invoice, packing list, and any necessary export permits from Cambodia. Import documentation for Ecuador may include a customs declaration, import permit, and compliance with local regulations regarding industrial machinery and construction equipment.
