- Weight: 8,000–16,000 kg per unit
- Dimensions: Up to 7.2 m (L) × 2.5 m (W) × 3.8 m (H)
- Sensitivity: Exposed metal surfaces prone to saltwater-induced corrosion
- Handling: Requires specialized loading/unloading infrastructure
3. Comparative Analysis: RO-RO vs. Bulk Cargo vs. Flat Rack
| Parameter | RO-RO | Bulk Cargo | Flat Rack Container |
|---|---|---|---|
| Loading Mechanism | Self-propelled or towed onto vessel | Loosely stowed in hold | Crane-lifted onto open-frame ISO container |
| Cargo Protection | Moderate (exposed decks) | Low (mixed stowage, no containment) | High (secured, weather-resistant tarp options) |
| Corrosion Risk | High (direct salt spray exposure) | Very High (humidity, condensation) | Moderate (mitigated via wax spray + tarp) |
| Handling Speed | Fast (drive-on/drive-off) | Slow (requires crane & rigging) | Moderate (crane-dependent) |
| Cost per Unit (USD) | $1,800 – $2,500 | $1,200 – $1,800 | $2,600 – $3,400 |
| Security | Moderate (shared deck space) | Low (no individual unit tracking) | High (container seal, GPS options) |
| Port Infrastructure | Requires RO-RO terminal | General cargo port | Standard container terminal |
| Suitability for SKD Units | High (if drivable) | Low (risk of damage) | Very High (customizable lashing) |
| Transit Time (China → Middle East) | 18–22 days | 20–26 days | 16–20 days |
4. Corrosion Protection: Wax Spraying Protocol
To mitigate seawater-induced corrosion during marine transit, SEA LION International mandates the application of industrial-grade wax-based protective coatings on all ferrous components prior to shipment.

| Salt Spray Resistance | 500+ hours (ASTM B117 compliant) |
| Removal Process | Biodegradable citrus-based solvent at destination |
| Compliance | ISO 9227, DIN 50017 |
Note: Wax spraying is strongly recommended for all transport modes, but critical for RO-RO and Bulk Cargo due to prolonged exposure.
5. Recommended Transport Method by Use Case
| Project Requirement | Recommended Method | Rationale |
|---|---|---|
| High-volume, drivable SKD units | RO-RO | Fast turnaround, lower handling cost |
| Cost-sensitive, non-urgent delivery | Bulk Cargo (only if wax-protected) | Lowest freight cost, high risk |
| High-value, corrosion-sensitive units | Flat Rack + Wax Spray | Maximum protection, traceability, and structural security |
6. Operational Recommendations
- Pre-Shipment Preparation
- Conduct full undercarriage wax spray 48 hours prior to loading.
- Seal electrical housings with moisture-resistant caps.
-
Install desiccant packs inside cab enclosures (if applicable).
-
Stowage & Lashing
- Flat Rack: Use ISO corner castings with 8-point lashing (M12 turnbuckles, 5,000 kg SWL).
-
RO-RO: Wheel chocks + secondary chain restraints.
-
Monitoring
- Utilize IoT humidity/temperature loggers for Bulk and RO-RO shipments.
- GPS tracking standard on Flat Rack units.
7. Conclusion
For reliable, scalable export of tractor truck assemblies from China, Flat Rack containers combined with industrial wax protection offer the optimal balance of safety, traceability, and corrosion resistance. While RO-RO provides speed and Bulk Cargo offers cost savings, both present elevated risks to component integrity. SEA LION International advises Flat Rack as the standard for premium SKD logistics, with wax spraying non-negotiable across all modal choices.
