Shipping Industrial Fans from Sydney to Montreal via Ocean Freight

Shipping very heavy Industrial machinery demands Engineered crating. Use purpose‑built skids with clear lifting points, work with experienced machinery movers for loading, and choose suitable heavy‑haul trailers rated for the full load. Stabilize and strap the machine to prevent any movement, and photograph its condition before pickup.

Yes, moisture‑sensitive HVAC equipment must be Sealed against humidity. Use sealed plastic covers with humidity absorbers inside, cap all duct and cable openings, and book covered transport whenever possible. For ocean freight, evaluate enhanced corrosion protection for long voyages.

Exporting Construction machinery typically calls for a Commercial invoice, packing list, transport document, and any regulatory approvals applicable to your destination. Customs brokers typically recommend including serial numbers, model numbers, and precise weights for each unit, especially for power equipment. For some destinations, authorities may require 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 Separate cargo insurance, as carrier liability is usually limited and may not cover full replacement cost. Insure for total project value, confirm that water damage are covered, and store inspection reports and photos in case you need to file a claim. This is especially important for custom‑built construction machinery 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 hardstanding, not bare ground. However, moisture‑sensitive items like industrial fans and power equipment are safest under cover or indoors. If outdoor storage is unavoidable, check wraps and tarps regularly, maintain drainage around the site, and limit duration to reduce corrosion and electrical damage.

When shipping industrial machinery and construction equipment via ocean freight, it is important to ensure that all equipment is securely crated or containerized to prevent damage during transit. Additionally, oversized or heavy machinery may require special handling equipment and should be compliant with weight and size restrictions at both the Port of Sydney and the Port of Montreal.

Required documentation for customs includes a commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading, and any necessary export permits. Additionally, an import permit may be required for certain types of industrial machinery and construction equipment entering Canada, as well as compliance with Canadian regulations regarding safety and emissions standards.
