Shipping Generators from Vitoria to Charlotte via Ocean Freight

Shipping very heavy factory equipment demands careful planning. Use Steel‑reinforced skids with clear lifting points, hire experienced machinery movers for loading, and choose Flatbed or lowboy trailers rated for the full load. Block and brace the machine to prevent any movement, and photograph its condition before pickup.

Yes, moisture‑sensitive industrial fans must be shielded from moisture. Use Shrink wrap with drying agents inside, cap all duct and cable openings, and Choose Enclosed trailers whenever possible. For ocean freight, evaluate Dehumidified or ventilated containers for long voyages.

Exporting industrial machinery typically calls for a customs invoice, packing list, Bill of lading, and any control permits applicable to your destination. We recommend including serial numbers, model numbers, and precise weights for each unit, especially for 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 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 rigging are covered, and Keep inspection reports and photos in case you need to file a claim. This is especially important for custom‑built Industrial machinery where lead times and replacement costs are high.

Crated heavy equipment are occasionally stored outdoors short‑term if packaging is designed for it and placed on Elevated dunnage, not bare ground. However, moisture‑sensitive items like air handling units and Generators Are better 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.

The required documentation includes a commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading, and any necessary export licenses from Brazil. Additionally, import documentation such as a customs declaration for the United States must be prepared to comply with U.S. Customs and Border Protection regulations.

Handling considerations include ensuring that the machinery is securely crated or containerized to prevent damage during transit. It is also important to comply with weight restrictions for containers and to consider the dimensions of the equipment for proper loading and unloading at both the Port of Vitoria and the Port of Charlotte.
