Best Use Case Fully operational fleets with mobility Decommissioned or disassembled units Non-operational, oversized, or disassembled components

3. Corrosion Protection: Wax Spraying Protocol

Maritime transport exposes ferrous components to high-humidity, salt-laden environments, accelerating oxidation. To mitigate seawater corrosion, industrial-grade wax spraying is recommended for all exposed metal surfaces.

Wax Spraying Specifications:

Parameter Specification
Wax Type Solvent-based, hydrophobic synthetic polymer (e.g., lanolin-modified resins)
Application Method High-pressure spray (15–20 bar), full coverage of undercarriage, boom, dipper, pins, and track links
Film Thickness 25–50 µm (meets ISO 12944 C5-M offshore exposure class)
Coverage Areas Undercarriage, hydraulic cylinders, boom joints, track frames, radiator cores (protected), unpainted steel
Removal Post-Delivery Biodegradable citrus-based solvent or hot water pressure wash (80°C max)
Validity 6–12 months in marine environments

Note: Wax protection is mandatory for RO-RO and Flat Rack shipments due to exposure. Bulk cargo units should be sealed in VCI (Vapor Corrosion Inhibitor) wraps prior to loading.


4. Method-Specific Recommendations

RO-RO Shipping

  • Advantages: Fast turnaround, minimal disassembly, ideal for functional fleets.
  • Limitations: Requires operational equipment; not suitable for damaged or non-movable units.
  • Recommendation: Apply wax spray and cover operator cabs with breathable poly covers. Use desiccant packs inside enclosures.

Bulk Cargo

  • Advantages: Lowest cost for large-volume, non-functional units.
  • Limitations: High risk of surface damage and corrosion; not suitable for precision components.
  • Recommendation: Disassemble hydraulic lines, apply VCI film, and encapsulate critical components. Avoid for high-value machinery.

Flat Rack Containers

  • Advantages: Accommodates disassembled booms, counterweights, and non-standard geometries.
  • Limitations: Higher cost; requires crane infrastructure at both ends.
  • Recommendation: Secure with turnbuckles and dunnage. Apply wax spray and cover with UV-resistant tarpaulin.

5. Operational Guidelines for Export from China

  1. Pre-Shipment Inspection (PSI): Conduct ISO 9001-aligned inspection at port of loading (e.g., Shanghai, Qingdao, Guangzhou).
  2. Customs Clearance: Provide Bill of Lading, Commercial Invoice, Packing List, and Equipment Certification (CE/GB standards).
  3. Marine Insurance: Cover All Risks (CAR) with corrosion and collision clauses.
  4. Port Handling: Coordinate with certified stevedores experienced in heavy equipment logistics.
  5. Destination Readiness: Ensure receiving site has adequate lifting and storage capacity.

6. Conclusion

For turnkey excavation business exports from China, RO-RO shipping offers the optimal balance of cost, speed, and equipment integrity for operational fleets. Flat Rack is superior for non-standard or disassembled components, while Bulk Cargo remains a cost-effective option only for scrap-grade or fully disassembled units.

Wax spraying is a non-negotiable protective measure across all methods to ensure equipment longevity and resale value upon delivery. SEA LION International recommends integrating wax protection into standard export protocols for all heavy machinery shipments exposed to marine environments.
