Shipping & Logistics Solutions
Industrial Specification Report 2026
Prepared for: Fleet Managers & Construction Companies
Subject: Logistics Solutions for Exporting Large Dump Trucks from China
Issuing Authority: SEA LION International – Global Heavy Equipment Logistics Division
Date: January 2026
Executive Summary
This report evaluates three primary maritime transport methods for exporting large dump trucks (gross vehicle weight: 80–120 metric tons) from Chinese ports (e.g., Shanghai, Qingdao, Tianjin) to global destinations. The analysis compares Roll-on/Roll-off (RO-RO), Bulk Cargo (Loose Loading in Hold), and Flat Rack Container shipping solutions based on cost, transit integrity, handling efficiency, and corrosion protection. Special emphasis is placed on wax-based anti-corrosion treatment to mitigate seawater exposure during ocean transit.
1. Transport Method Comparison
| Parameter | RO-RO Shipping | Bulk Cargo (Loose Hold Loading) | Flat Rack Container (20’/40′) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Payload Capacity | Up to 150 tons per vessel deck | Limited by hold dimensions (~100 t) | 40′ FR: 45 t max; Requires disassembly |
| Loading Mechanism | Self-propelled or towed on/off | Crane-lifted into cargo hold | Crane-lifted onto flat rack |
| Handling Time (Port) | 1–2 hours per unit | 4–6 hours per unit | 3–5 hours per unit |
| Port Infrastructure | RO-RO ramps required | General cargo cranes | Container cranes + spreader beams |
| Transit Safety | High (secured on deck) | Moderate (risk of shifting) | High (lashed per CSC standards) |
| Exposure to Seawater | High (open deck) | Moderate (enclosed but humid) | High (open to environment) |
| Average Cost (USD/unit) | $8,500 – $11,000 | $7,000 – $9,500 | $12,000 – $16,000 |
| Destination Flexibility | High (major RO-RO terminals) | Limited (bulk ports only) | High (any container port) |
| Insurance Complexity | Low | Moderate | High |
| Best Suited For | Operational units, urgent delivery | Non-operational, disassembled units | Oversized or non-roadworthy units |
2. Corrosion Protection: Wax Spraying System
All dump trucks transported via maritime routes are exposed to salt-laden atmospheres and direct seawater spray, particularly in RO-RO and Flat Rack configurations. To mitigate long-term corrosion of structural and undercarriage components, SEA LION International mandates the application of a synthetic wax-based protective coating prior to shipment.
Wax Spraying Specifications:
| Parameter | Specification |
|---|---|
| Coating Type | Solvent-free, hydrophobic synthetic wax |
| Application Method | High-pressure spray (12–15 bar) |
| Coverage Areas | Frame rails, suspension joints, fuel tanks, underbody, wheel hubs |
| Thickness | 50–70 µm (uniform layer) |
| Salt Spray Resistance | 1,000+ hours (per ASTM B117) |
| Removal Process | Biodegradable citrus-based solvent; non-toxic |
| Validity Duration | Up to 12 months in marine environments |
Note: Wax treatment is mandatory for all RO-RO and Flat Rack shipments originating from Chinese coastal ports. Bulk cargo units must receive partial undercarriage waxing due to condensation risks in enclosed holds.
3. Risk Assessment & Recommendations
| Risk Factor | RO-RO | Bulk Cargo | Flat Rack |
|---|---|---|---|
| Corrosion Damage | High | Medium | High |
| Mechanical Impact | Low | High | Medium |
| Weather Delays (Loading) | Low | High | Medium |
| Customs Inspection Access | High | Low | High |
| Total Loss Probability | 0.8% | 2.1% | 1.2% |
Recommended Use Cases:
- RO-RO: Preferred for fully operational dump trucks destined to RO-RO-capable ports. Fast turnaround, lower handling risk.
- Bulk Cargo: Only recommended for disassembled units or cost-sensitive, non-urgent shipments to bulk terminals.
- Flat Rack: Optimal for oversized models (width > 3.5 m) or units requiring ISO container compatibility at destination.
4. Compliance & Certification
All shipments comply with:
– IMO CSS Code (Cargo Securing Manual)
– IMDG Code (for fuel/lubricants onboard)
– CSC Safety Approval (Flat Racks)
– China Customs Export Declaration (HS Code: 8704.21)
Wax application adheres to ISO 12944-2:2017 (Corrosion Protection of Steel Structures).
Conclusion
For the export of large dump trucks from China, RO-RO shipping offers the optimal balance of speed, safety, and cost-efficiency, provided that destination ports support roll-on/roll-off operations. Flat Rack containers are indispensable for non-standard dimensions, while bulk cargo methods are discouraged due to elevated handling risks and corrosion exposure. The integration of industrial-grade wax spraying is critical across all methods to ensure equipment integrity upon delivery.
SEA LION International recommends pre-shipment wax protection and real-time GPS tracking for all heavy equipment exports to mitigate operational and financial risk.
