Shipping very heavy industrial machines necessitates careful planning. Use Steel‑reinforced skids with clear lifting points, Engage experienced machinery movers for loading, and choose step‑deck or lowboy equipment rated for the full load. Secure and chock the machine to prevent any movement, and record its condition before pickup.
Yes, moisture‑sensitive air handling units needs to be shielded from moisture. Use Shrink wrap with Desiccant packs inside, cap all duct and cable openings, and select dry containers whenever possible. For ocean freight, ask about VCI packaging for long voyages.
Exporting heavy equipment typically involves a customs invoice, packing list, Bill of lading, and any Export licenses applicable to your destination. Most freight forwarders recommend including serial numbers, model numbers, and precise weights for each unit, especially for backup generators. 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 HVAC equipment.
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 Full value, confirm that Loading and unloading are covered, and retain 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 Elevated dunnage, not bare ground. However, moisture‑sensitive items like HVAC equipment and backup generators should ideally be kept under cover or indoors. If outdoor storage is unavoidable, verify wraps and tarps regularly, maintain drainage around the site, and plan for timely installation to reduce corrosion and electrical damage.
When shipping industrial machinery and construction equipment via ocean freight, it is essential to ensure that the cargo is properly secured and protected from moisture and saltwater exposure. Heavy machinery may require crating or specialized containers, and appropriate loading equipment must be available at both ports to handle the weight and dimensions of the equipment.
