Shipping very heavy industrial machines necessitates careful planning. Use purpose‑built skids with clear lifting points, work with 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 air handling units needs to be shielded from moisture. Use sealed plastic covers with humidity absorbers inside, cap all duct and cable openings, and Choose dry containers whenever possible. For ocean freight, Consider enhanced corrosion protection for long voyages.
Exporting heavy equipment typically involves a customs invoice, packing list, transport document, and any regulatory approvals 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 industrial machines.
High‑value backup generators are best protected by stand‑alone coverage, 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 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 industrial machinery may be stored outdoors short‑term if packaging is designed for it and placed on hardstanding, not bare ground. However, moisture‑sensitive items like industrial fans 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 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 items are securely packed and properly crated to withstand the long sea journey. Specialized equipment may be required for loading and unloading due to the weight and dimensions of the machinery. Additionally, ensuring compliance with safety regulations during handling at both ports is crucial.
Required documentation for customs includes a commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading, and any necessary export licenses. Additionally, a certificate of origin may be required, along with compliance with regulatory requirements specific to industrial machinery and construction equipment. Import duties and tariffs applicable in Puerto Rico should also be considered.
