Shipping very heavy Industrial machinery demands Engineered crating. 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. Stabilize and strap the machine to prevent any movement, and Document its condition before pickup.
Yes, moisture‑sensitive HVAC equipment must be Sealed against humidity. Use moisture‑barrier film with drying agents inside, cap all duct and cable openings, and Choose covered transport whenever possible. For ocean freight, Consider VCI packaging for long voyages.
Exporting Construction machinery typically calls for a Commercial 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 power equipment. 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 Separate cargo insurance, 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 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 concrete pads, not bare ground. However, moisture‑sensitive items like air handling units and Generators are safest 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.
Industrial machinery and construction equipment require careful handling due to their size and weight. It is essential to use suitable containers, such as flat racks or open-top containers, to accommodate oversized equipment. Additionally, securing the cargo properly is crucial to prevent damage during transit.
