Yes, moisture‑sensitive HVAC equipment Should be shielded from moisture. Use Shrink wrap with drying agents inside, cap all duct and cable openings, and Choose dry containers whenever possible. For ocean freight, ask about VCI packaging for long voyages.
Exporting Construction machinery typically Requires 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 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 Generators Should be 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 factory equipment where lead times and replacement costs are high.
Crated Construction machines Can sometimes be 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 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.
