Shipping Heavy Equipment from Sydney to Vitoria via Ocean Freight

Shipping very heavy industrial machines demands professional rigging. Use heavy timber skids with clear lifting points, hire experienced machinery movers for loading, and choose step‑deck or lowboy equipment rated for the full load. Block and brace the machine to prevent any movement, and photograph its condition before pickup.

Yes, moisture‑sensitive air handling units must be protected from rain and condensation. Use moisture‑barrier film with drying agents inside, cap all duct and cable openings, and select Enclosed trailers whenever possible. For ocean freight, evaluate enhanced corrosion protection for long voyages.

Exporting heavy equipment typically calls for a detailed invoice, packing list, waybill, and any control permits applicable to your destination. Most freight forwarders recommend including serial numbers, model numbers, and precise weights for each unit, especially for Generators. 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 backup 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 retain inspection reports and photos in case you need to file a claim. This is especially important for custom‑built Industrial machinery where lead times and replacement costs are high.

Crated industrial machinery are occasionally 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 backup generators Are better kept 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.

Required documentation includes a commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading, and any necessary export permits specific to industrial machinery and construction equipment. Additionally, customs declarations will be needed for both Australian and Brazilian authorities.

Handling considerations include ensuring proper securing and bracing of equipment within the shipping container to prevent damage during transit. It is also critical to comply with any weight restrictions and to consider the dimensions of machinery to ensure it fits within the container specifications.
