– Hydraulic Lines: 1.5x rated pressure hold test (300 sec) with zero leakage.
– Electrical Interfaces: CAN bus signal integrity verified per SAE J1939.
4.0 CONCLUSION
The MX-26 Series chassis achieves superior rough-terrain resilience through material science and precision welding, reducing structural fatigue failures by 35% in field trials. Engine durability is quantifiably enhanced via component hardening and rigorous thermal management. The PDI protocol ensures only units meeting all mechanical tolerances and performance thresholds reach customer sites. SEA LION International warrants the chassis frame for 5 years/10,000 hours and the engine core for 3 years/6,000 hours against manufacturing defects.

Shipping & Logistics Solutions
Industrial Specification Report 2026
Prepared for: Fleet Managers & Construction Companies
Subject: Export Logistics Solutions for Mini Excavators with Attachments from China
Issuing Authority: SEA LION International – Engineering & Logistics Division
1. Executive Summary
This report evaluates three primary maritime logistics solutions for the export of mini excavators with attachments from manufacturing hubs in China (e.g., Xuzhou, Changsha, Qingdao) to global project sites: RO-RO (Roll-on/Roll-off), Bulk Cargo, and Flat Rack (Flat Rack Containers). The analysis includes technical compatibility, cost-efficiency, transit time, equipment protection, and corrosion mitigation—specifically addressing seawater exposure risks through wax-based anti-corrosion spraying systems.
Target users include fleet procurement managers and construction logistics coordinators responsible for high-integrity, time-sensitive equipment deployment.
2. Equipment Profile: Mini Excavator with Attachments
| Parameter | Specification |
|---|---|
| Operating Weight Range | 1,500 – 8,000 kg |
| Dimensions (L×W×H) | 3.2 – 5.8 m × 1.7 – 2.5 m × 2.5 – 3.0 m |
| Common Attachments | Hydraulic breaker, auger, grapple, tilt bucket |
| Surface Materials | High-tensile steel, coated hydraulics, rubber tracks |
| Corrosion Risk Exposure | High (due to saltwater, humidity, long transit) |
3. Comparative Shipping Method Evaluation
| Criteria | RO-RO (Roll-on/Roll-off) | Bulk Cargo | Flat Rack (20′ or 40′) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Loading Mechanism | Self-propelled or towed on/off | Craned into hold | Craned on/off; secured on deck/hold |
| Suitability for Mini Excavators | High (if operational) | Moderate (risk of damage) | High (secure, flexible) |
| Attachment Handling | Can remain mounted | Must be disassembled | Can remain mounted |
| Transit Time (Avg.) | 25–35 days (direct routes) | 30–45 days | 28–40 days |
| Port Infrastructure Required | RO-RO terminal with ramps | General cargo crane availability | Container crane + lashing points |
| Damage Risk | Low (controlled movement) | High (contact with bulk materials) | Low (if properly secured) |
| Cost (USD/unit, 3.5t unit) | $1,800 – $2,400 | $1,500 – $2,000 | $2,200 – $3,000 |
| Security & Monitoring | Limited onboard access | High risk of mishandling | Sealed lashings; GPS-tracked option |
| Customs Clearance | Faster (unitized) | Slower (bulk manifests) | Standard container processing |
| Best For | Operational units, short lead time | High-volume, low-cost shipments | High-value, oversized units |
Note: Flat Rack offers optimal protection for non-operational or delicate units. RO-RO is cost-effective only if machines are functional and compliant with vessel ramp weight limits.
4. Corrosion Protection: Wax Spraying System
Marine environments expose metal surfaces to chloride-laden aerosols and high humidity, accelerating oxidation of structural and hydraulic components. SEA LION International mandates the following anti-corrosion protocol:
4.1 Wax-Based Protective Coating
- Product Type: Solvent-based, hydrophobic corrosion-inhibiting wax (e.g., DINITROL 4600, FUCHS Rustilo).
- Application Method: Full-body electrostatic spray post-final assembly.
- Coverage Areas:
- Undercarriage (tracks, rollers, idlers)
- Hydraulic cylinder rods
- Frame weld joints
- Attachment pivot points
- Film Thickness: 30–50 µm (measured via Elcometer 3220)
- Salt Spray Resistance (ASTM B117): ≥ 500 hours at 35°C, 5% NaCl
4.2 Pre-Shipment Protocol
- Clean all surfaces (alkaline degreasing + high-pressure rinse).
- Dry using compressed air (>0.7 MPa).
- Apply wax spray in controlled environment (15–25°C, RH <60%).
- Allow 4-hour cure before crating or loading.
- Seal operator cabin and air intakes with vapor corrosion inhibitors (VCI) bags.
Compliance: Meets ISO 12944-2 (C5-M Marine Corrosivity Category).
5. Recommended Solution by Use Case
| Scenario | Recommended Method | Rationale |
|---|---|---|
| Export of 10+ operational units to Middle East | RO-RO | Fast turnaround, low handling risk |
| High-value units with custom attachments | Flat Rack | Full protection, traceability, secure lashings |
| Budget-sensitive, inland destination | Bulk Cargo | Lower cost; requires disassembly and reassembly |
6. Conclusion
For reliable, corrosion-resistant export of mini excavators from China, Flat Rack shipping combined with industrial-grade wax spraying provides the highest integrity logistics solution. While RO-RO offers speed for operational machines, Flat Rack ensures structural and hydraulic system longevity—critical for fleet uptime. Bulk cargo remains a cost-driven option but introduces higher risk of damage and corrosion due to inadequate environmental control.
SEA LION International recommends integrating automated wax spraying lines at OEM facilities and selecting Flat Rack transport for premium equipment to minimize field failures and warranty claims.
