Shipping Heavy Equipment from Teoloyucan to Kansas City via Ocean Freight

Shipping very heavy Industrial machinery demands careful planning. Use purpose‑built skids with clear lifting points, Engage 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 record its condition before pickup.

Yes, moisture‑sensitive HVAC equipment must be shielded from moisture. Use sealed plastic covers with Desiccant packs inside, cap all duct and cable openings, and Choose covered transport whenever possible. For ocean freight, ask about enhanced corrosion protection for long voyages.

Exporting Construction machinery typically calls for a customs invoice, packing list, transport document, and any Export licenses 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 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 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 Loading and unloading 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 designed for it and placed on hardstanding, not bare ground. However, moisture‑sensitive items like HVAC equipment and Generators 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.

Required documentation includes a bill of lading, commercial invoice, packing list, and any necessary permits or certifications for the machinery being shipped. Additionally, an import declaration may be needed upon arrival in the United States.

Yes, shippers must comply with U.S. Customs and Border Protection regulations, which may include meeting safety and environmental standards. It is also important to ensure that all machinery is free of soil and pests to avoid delays during customs inspection.

We are grounded in values of love, trust, collaboration, and a belief that service is a relationship, not a transaction, supported by technology that keeps its word and a commitment to staying human even at scale.

SAMMIE improves visibility by combining live carrier data, independent port tracking, an AI rules engine, and human verification to provide real-time visibility, predictive alerts, and exception management.

It means every move we make by land, air, or sea is guided by purpose, careful planning, decisive action, and precise, attentive execution.
