| Port Infrastructure | Requires RO-RO terminal | Standard bulk terminal | Standard container terminal |
| Transit Time | Fast (direct stowage) | Moderate (longer loading) | Moderate (container handling) |
| Damage Risk | Low to moderate (driving risk) | High (shifting, abrasion) | Low (secure, isolated unit) |
| Cost (per unit, FOB China) | $1,800 – $2,400 | $1,200 – $1,700 | $2,600 – $3,400 |
| Suitability for Hawo DT | High (if drivable) | Low (high damage risk) | High (optimal for non-drivable) |
Note: RO-RO is cost-effective only if the Hawo truck is operational. Non-functional units require towing, increasing handling complexity and potential damage.
3. Corrosion Protection: Wax Spraying Protocol
Marine environments expose heavy equipment to salt-laden air and condensation, accelerating corrosion—particularly in undercarriage, suspension, and exhaust systems.
Recommended Anti-Corrosion Treatment:
Wax-Based Spraying System (Long-Term Marine Grade)
| Feature | Specification |
|---|---|
| Product Type | Solvent-based, wax-resin hybrid coating |
| Application Method | High-pressure spray (20–30 bar) |
| Coverage Areas | Frame rails, suspension joints, wheel hubs, undercarriage, exhaust manifolds |
| Dry Film Thickness | 150–200 µm |
| Salt Spray Resistance (ASTM B117) | >1,000 hours (no red rust) |
| Service Life (marine transit) | Up to 12 months (unwashed) |
| Reversibility | Removable with industrial degreasers |
Application Workflow:
- Pre-treatment: Degrease and dry all metal surfaces.
- Masking: Protect tires, lights, and intake systems.
- Spraying: Apply in even layers; focus on crevices and overlapping joints.
- Curing: 24-hour ambient cure before shipment.
- Documentation: Include wax treatment certificate in shipping manifest.
Industry Recommendation: Wax spraying is mandatory for all Hawo Dump Trucks shipped via RO-RO or Flat Rack. Bulk cargo units require double-layer application due to higher exposure.
4. Risk Assessment & Mitigation
| Risk Factor | RO-RO | Bulk Cargo | Flat Rack | Mitigation Strategy |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Seawater Corrosion | High | Very High | Moderate | Wax spray + silica gel desiccants (in cabs) |
| Physical Impact | Moderate | High | Low | Use edge protectors, dunnage, and spacers |
| Moisture Ingress (Cab/Engine) | Moderate | High | Low | Seal vents; use moisture-absorbing packets |
| Theft/Vandalism | Low | Moderate | Low | Ship under bonded seal; GPS-tracked units |
5. Operational Recommendations
- For Drivable Units: Use RO-RO for cost and speed. Ensure pre-shipment wax treatment and battery disconnection.
- For Non-Operational Units: Use Flat Rack containers to ensure structural integrity and reduce handling risk.
- Avoid Bulk Cargo unless cost is the overriding factor and buyer accepts high damage probability.
- Mandatory: Implement wax-based anti-corrosion treatment regardless of method.
- Documentation: Include corrosion protection certification, lashing report, and pre-shipment inspection (PSI) report.
6. Conclusion
For reliable, scalable export of used Hawo Dump Trucks from China, Flat Rack shipping with wax corrosion protection offers the highest equipment integrity and long-term value. RO-RO remains viable for drivable units where cost efficiency is prioritized. Bulk Cargo is not recommended for premium resale markets due to high damage and corrosion exposure.
SEA LION International advises integrating industrial-grade wax spraying into all export workflows to ensure compliance with international reconditioning standards and minimize post-arrival rework.
