5. Recommended Shipping Strategy
| Scenario | Recommended Method | Rationale |
|---|---|---|
| Fleet Export (>50 units) | RO-RO | Fast turnaround, lower handling risk, cost-efficient at scale |
| Remote Destination (no RO-RO terminal) | Flat Rack | Ensures structural integrity, compatible with standard container ports |
| Budget-Constrained, Non-Urgent Shipment | Bulk Cargo | Lowest cost, but requires enhanced wax protection and post-arrival inspection |
6. Operational Recommendations
- Pre-Shipment Inspection (PSI): Conduct ISO 19030 compliance checks before loading.
- Battery Disconnection: Prevent electrical drain and short circuits during transit.
- Fuel Level: Maintain ≤1/4 tank to reduce fire risk and weight.
- Wax Reapplication: Audit coating thickness prior to shipment; reapply if below 25 µm.
- Lashing Certification: For Flat Rack, use DNV-GL-certified lashing points (min. 8,000 kg SWL).
7. Conclusion
For fleet managers and construction firms sourcing 5-Ton Mini Lorry Trucks from China, RO-RO shipping offers the optimal balance of cost, speed, and safety for driveable units. Flat Rack is superior for non-operational or modified units requiring structural protection. Bulk Cargo, while economical, demands rigorous corrosion mitigation—making industrial-grade wax spraying essential to preserve asset integrity across all methods.
SEA LION International recommends integrating wax protection as a non-negotiable step in the export chain, regardless of shipping mode, to ensure long-term durability in coastal and high-humidity deployment zones.
