Shipping very heavy factory equipment demands professional rigging. Use Steel‑reinforced skids with clear lifting points, Engage 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 photograph its condition before pickup.
Yes, moisture‑sensitive industrial fans must be protected from rain and condensation. Use Shrink wrap with Desiccant packs inside, cap all duct and cable openings, and Choose dry containers whenever possible. For ocean freight, evaluate Dehumidified or ventilated containers for long voyages.
Exporting industrial machinery typically calls for a detailed invoice, packing list, Bill of lading, and any Export licenses applicable to your destination. We recommend including serial numbers, model numbers, and precise weights for each unit, especially for backup generators. For some destinations, authorities may require certificates of origin, fumigation or ISPM‑15 declarations for wood packaging, and safety or emissions certificates for Construction machines.
High‑value power equipment Should be protected by a dedicated policy, 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 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 heavy equipment are occasionally stored outdoors short‑term if packaging is properly sealed and placed on Elevated dunnage, not bare ground. However, moisture‑sensitive items like HVAC equipment and Generators should ideally be kept under cover or indoors. If outdoor storage is unavoidable, check wraps and tarps regularly, maintain drainage around the site, and Avoid long‑term exposure to reduce corrosion and electrical damage.
Industrial machinery and construction equipment should be securely packed and properly loaded to prevent damage during ocean transport. Additionally, items may require disassembly for easier handling and compliance with container size limits. Proper weight distribution is essential to ensure stability during transit.
Required documentation typically includes a commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading, and export declaration. Additionally, import permits or certificates may be necessary based on the specific type of machinery or equipment being shipped, along with compliance with EU regulations.
