Shipping Factory Equipment from Sydney to Suape via Ocean Freight

Shipping very heavy Industrial machinery Requires professional rigging. Use heavy timber skids with clear lifting points, hire 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 Document its condition before pickup.

Yes, moisture‑sensitive HVAC equipment Should be protected from rain and condensation. Use moisture‑barrier film with drying agents inside, cap all duct and cable openings, and Choose dry containers whenever possible. For ocean freight, Consider VCI packaging for long voyages.

Exporting Construction machinery typically Requires a detailed invoice, packing list, waybill, and any control permits 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 may also need certificates of origin, fumigation or ISPM‑15 declarations for wood packaging, and safety or emissions certificates for HVAC equipment.

High‑value Generators Should be protected by a dedicated policy, as carrier liability is usually limited and may not cover full replacement cost. Insure for replacement cost, confirm that rigging 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 Can sometimes be stored outdoors short‑term if packaging is properly sealed and placed on concrete pads, not bare ground. However, moisture‑sensitive items like air handling units and Generators should ideally be kept under cover or indoors. If outdoor storage is unavoidable, Inspect wraps and tarps regularly, maintain drainage around the site, and plan for timely installation to reduce corrosion and electrical damage.

Shipping industrial machinery and construction equipment requires careful packing and securing to prevent damage during transit. Given the long ocean route of 15,272 km, heavy machinery should be transported using flat racks or containerized solutions that can accommodate oversized loads. Additionally, equipment must be inspected for any loose parts and properly crated or palletized to ensure stability during ocean transport.

Required documentation for shipping industrial machinery and construction equipment includes a commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading, and any necessary export permits or licenses from Australian authorities. Importantly, Brazilian customs may also require a Certificate of Origin and compliance with local regulations related to machinery imports, including safety standards and environmental regulations.
