- Corrosion Mitigation: Wax spraying essential, combined with plastic wrapping.
Flat Rack Containers
- Best for: High-value or customized 4×4 trucks requiring maximum protection.
- Advantages: Full structural support; compatibility with lashing standards (IMO CSS Code).
- Limitations: Higher cost; requires crane logistics at origin/destination.
- Corrosion Mitigation: Wax spraying standard, with optional desiccant packs inside frame perimeter.
4. Operational Guidelines for Exporters
- Pre-Shipment Inspection: Confirm vehicle fluid levels, battery isolation, and tire pressure (75% nominal).
- Wax Application: Conduct within 72 hours of port arrival; document coverage via digital log.
- Lashing & Securing:
- RO-RO: Wheel chocks + tie-down straps (min. 4 points per vehicle).
- Flat Rack: ISO twist locks + steel lashing (2,500 kg BL min.).
