Shipping very heavy Industrial machinery demands Engineered crating. Use Steel‑reinforced skids with clear lifting points, Engage experienced machinery movers for loading, and choose Flatbed or lowboy trailers rated for the full load. Secure and chock the machine to prevent any movement, and record its condition before pickup.
Yes, moisture‑sensitive HVAC equipment must be Sealed against humidity. Use Shrink wrap with Desiccant packs inside, cap all duct and cable openings, and Choose dry containers whenever possible. For ocean freight, ask about VCI packaging for long voyages.
Exporting Construction machinery typically calls for a Commercial invoice, packing list, Bill of lading, and any Export licenses applicable to your destination. We 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 Generators are best protected by Separate cargo insurance, as carrier liability is usually limited and may not cover full replacement cost. Insure for Full value, confirm that Loading and unloading are covered, and Keep 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 Construction machines are occasionally stored outdoors short‑term if packaging is Weather‑resistant and placed on Elevated dunnage, not bare ground. However, moisture‑sensitive items like HVAC equipment and 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.
Industrial Machinery & Construction Equipment often requires special handling due to its size and weight. Proper securing and bracing are essential during loading and transport to prevent damage.
