What buyers should know first: For an export diesel generator project, the shipment is not complete when the generator leaves the factory. Documents affect customs clearance, receiving inspection, installation, and final handover.
In practice
Purchasers should confirm document names, model references, packing details, and test records before release. This is especially important when the generator set, ATS, spare parts, exhaust parts, or fuel tank ship together.
Yangzhou Tesla Power Equipment Co., Ltd. supplies diesel generator sets for standby and prime projects, including silent or soundproof packages, ATS options, 50Hz and 60Hz requirements, and engine-brand categories such as Cummins, Perkins, Volvo, MTU, and Mitsubishi. For a matched quotation, the purchaser should describe the site conditions instead of sending only a kW or kVA number.
Information that changes the generator scope
| Item to confirm | Why it matters for quotation | Information to send |
|---|---|---|
| Commercial documents | Used for payment and customs process | Invoice, packing list, contract reference, and consignee details |
| Technical documents | Used by installation and maintenance teams | Datasheet, wiring diagram, manual, and test report |
| Packing information | Supports site lifting and receiving inspection | Package dimensions, weight, lifting points, and photo record |
| Accessory list | Prevents missing ATS, muffler, batteries, tools, or spares | Detailed packing list by crate or package |
| Nameplate match | Avoids customs and site acceptance confusion | Model, serial number, rating, voltage, frequency, and quantity |
How to prepare the request
- Agree document language and consignee information before shipment.
- Check that generator model, voltage, frequency, and quantity match the order.
- Request packing photos and crate markings before release.
- Confirm whether ATS, exhaust parts, batteries, or spare parts are packed separately.
- Send the document package to the customs broker and site team before vessel arrival.
Common configuration mistakes
- Treating the packing list as a formality instead of checking accessory quantities.
- Letting technical manuals arrive after the generator reaches the site.
- Using inconsistent model names across invoice, packing list, and test record.
- Forgetting separate documents for ATS, spare parts, or external fuel tank items.
Related equipment to compare
For a larger packaged set, review the Cummins 100 kW to 400 kW generator range. For another configuration path, compare it with the Volvo silent container diesel generator set. Related planning references include step load acceptance checks and generator room ventilation checks.
Documents to request before approval
- Commercial invoice
- Packing list
- Generator test report
- Operation and maintenance manual
- Wiring diagram and accessory list
Before requesting a quotation
Tell the supplier the destination country, required document language, consignee details, inspection requirement, and any broker-specific document format. Do not assume certifications, delivery time, or customs treatment unless they are confirmed for the exact order.
Frequently asked questions
Should the test report travel with the generator?
A digital copy should be sent before shipment, and the required physical copies should follow the agreed project document procedure.
What if the ATS ships separately?
List the ATS as a separate package with its own model, quantity, dimensions, and wiring reference.
Are batteries always shipped inside the generator?
Battery handling depends on project scope, shipping method, and local rules. Confirm packing and documentation before shipment.
Why do model names need to match exactly?
Consistent model and serial information helps customs, receiving inspection, warranty records, and later spare-parts communication.
