When shipping from Tampa to Port Klang, consider the Atlantic Hurricane Season (June-November) and incorporate buffer days to absorb potential delays. Confirm vessel space well in advance for the Christmas retail peak (October-December) and anticipate extended handling times during Black Friday and Cyber Monday (mid-November to early December).

Shipping very heavy factory equipment necessitates careful planning. Use heavy timber skids with clear lifting points, Engage 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 record its condition before pickup.
Yes, moisture‑sensitive industrial fans needs to be shielded from moisture. Use moisture‑barrier film with Desiccant packs inside, cap all duct and cable openings, and book covered transport whenever possible. For ocean freight, ask about enhanced corrosion protection for long voyages.
Exporting industrial machinery typically involves a customs invoice, packing list, waybill, and any Export licenses 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, you should check if you need certificates of origin, fumigation or ISPM‑15 declarations for wood packaging, and safety or emissions certificates for industrial machines.
High‑value power equipment are best protected by stand‑alone coverage, as carrier liability is usually limited and may not cover full replacement cost. Insure for replacement cost, confirm that Loading and unloading 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 heavy equipment may be stored outdoors short‑term if packaging is designed for it and placed on concrete pads, not bare ground. However, moisture‑sensitive items like HVAC equipment and power equipment are safest under cover or indoors. If outdoor storage is unavoidable, verify wraps and tarps regularly, maintain drainage around the site, and limit duration to reduce corrosion and electrical damage.
When shipping Industrial Machinery & Construction Equipment, it is essential to ensure that the items are securely packed and adequately labeled. Heavy machinery may require special rigging and securing methods to prevent movement during transit. Additionally, it is crucial to verify that the equipment complies with the weight and size restrictions of the shipping vessel.
