| Coverage Areas | Frame rails, suspension joints, brake lines, fuel tanks, electrical conduits |
| Drying Time | 4–6 hours (ambient 25°C) prior to loading |
| Performance Standard | ASTM B117 Salt Spray Test: ≥500 hours resistance |
| Reapplication | Required if storage >30 days pre-shipment |
Compliance Note: Trucks without certified wax protection are subject to 12% higher insurance premiums and voided transport warranties.
4. Recommended Logistics Strategy
| Use Case | Recommended Method | Rationale |
|---|---|---|
| Fleet Procurement (10+ units, drivable) | RO-RO | Fast turnaround, lower damage risk, cost-efficient at scale |
| Single Non-Running Units | Flat Rack | Enables transport of inoperable assets with secure lashing |
| Mixed Fleet (Operational + Non-Operational) | Hybrid: RO-RO + Flat Rack | Optimizes cost and flexibility |
| Budget-Constrained Buyers | Bulk Cargo (with risk waiver) | Lowest upfront cost; requires structural inspection post-arrival |
5. Operational Recommendations
- Pre-Shipment Inspection (PSI): Conduct ISO 17020-compliant inspection in China (odometer, engine health, frame integrity).
- Lashing Certification: All units must meet CTU (Cargo Transport Unit) Code standards for securing.
- Documentation: Provide CMR, Bill of Lading, Export Certificate, and Wax Application Certificate.
- Port Coordination: Schedule pre-arrival customs clearance at Poti Port to reduce demurrage.
6. Conclusion
For fleet managers and construction firms sourcing used trucks directly from Chinese owners, RO-RO shipping presents the optimal balance of speed, safety, and cost for drivable units. Flat Rack solutions remain essential for non-operational or oversized trucks, while Bulk Cargo is a high-risk, low-cost alternative suitable only under strict inspection protocols. Industrial wax spraying is non-negotiable for corrosion prevention and long-term asset integrity.
SEA LION International recommends integrating wax protection and pre-shipment certification into procurement contracts to ensure delivery of operationally viable assets.
