Fuel Efficiency Analysis
Fuel economy is a critical operational metric for fleet deployment in Arizona’s high-temperature, arid environments. Based on field data from Phoenix-area operations (2023–2025):
- Average Fuel Consumption:
- Loaded (35–40 tons): 3.8–4.3 mpg (5.5–6.1 L/100 km)
-
Empty / Light Load: 5.0–5.8 mpg (4.0–4.7 L/100 km)
-
Factors Affecting Efficiency:
- Ambient temperatures >105°F reduce efficiency by 6–9% due to increased engine cooling load.
- Frequent stop-start cycles in urban hauling (e.g., Phoenix metro) decrease fuel economy by ~12% vs. highway operation.
-
Proper maintenance of air filters, injectors, and turbo systems can restore up to 8% lost efficiency in used units.
-
Recommended Optimization:
- Install calibrated ECM tuning for desert conditions.
- Use low-viscosity 10W-30 synthetic blend oils to reduce parasitic loss.
- Retrofit aerodynamic fairings on older models to improve highway efficiency by 3–5%.
Load Capacity & Operational Suitability
These trucks are engineered for high-mass, low-distance hauling, typical in:
- Aggregate transport (quarries to job sites)
- Heavy equipment relocation
- Demolition debris removal
-
Over-dimensional cargo (with proper permits)
-
Max Payload Capacity: 30–35 tons (60,000–70,000 lbs), depending on body configuration and bridge law compliance.
- Frame Design: Ladder-type, 8mm high-tensile steel, with reinforced crossmembers for dump body or lowboy trailer mounting.
- Suspension: Multi-leaf spring (front and rear), rated for continuous off-road use. Air-ride retrofits available for improved ride quality.
Note: In Arizona, enforcement of axle weight limits is strict. Ensure compliance with ADOT regulations:
– Steer axle: ≤ 20,000 lbs
– Drive tandem: ≤ 34,000 lbs
– Trailer tandem: ≤ 34,000 lbs
Summary & Recommendation
Used trucks equipped with the Weichai WD615 engine and HW19710 transmission offer a cost-effective solution for construction fleets in the Phoenix area. With proper maintenance, these units deliver reliable performance in high-heat, high-load environments. The 12.00R20 tire spec ensures compatibility with regional service networks, and the tandem 13T rear axles support maximum legal payloads under Arizona’s operating codes.
Fleet managers should prioritize units with documented service history, recent transmission overhauls, and upgraded cooling packages for optimal longevity.

Shipping & Logistics Solutions
Industrial Specification Report 2026
Prepared by: SEA LION International – Senior Engineering Division
Subject: Export Logistics Solutions for Used Trucks (Phoenix, AZ Market) from China
Target Audience: Fleet Managers | Construction Equipment Procurement Teams
Executive Summary
This report evaluates three primary maritime transport methods—RO-RO (Roll-on/Roll-off), Bulk Cargo, and Flat Rack container shipping—for the export of used commercial trucks from Chinese ports to North American destinations serving the Phoenix, AZ market. The analysis includes technical specifications, cost-efficiency metrics, corrosion mitigation strategies (including wax spraying), and operational suitability for fleet-scale procurement. Recommendations are tailored for high-volume, cost-sensitive construction and logistics enterprises.
1. Operational Overview: Export Flow
| Parameter | Detail |
|---|---|
| Origin Ports (China) | Shanghai, Qingdao, Ningbo, Guangzhou |
| Destination Ports (USA) | Los Angeles, Long Beach, Houston |
| Inland Routing to Phoenix | Drayage via Class I rail (BNSF, UP) or over-the-road (OTR) trucking |
| Average Transit Time | 18–26 days (sea) + 3–7 days (inland) |
| Cargo Type | Used heavy-duty trucks (Class 6–8), medium-duty utility vehicles |
2. Comparative Analysis: RO-RO vs. Bulk Cargo vs. Flat Rack
| Criteria | RO-RO Shipping | Bulk Cargo Shipping | Flat Rack Container |
|---|---|---|---|
| Loading Method | Self-propelled roll-on/roll-off | Craned into hold, non-secured stacking | Lifted and secured on open-frame ISO flat rack |
| Vehicle Protection | Moderate (exposed decks) | Low (stacked, no individual protection) | High (individual strapping, optional enclosures) |
| Max Units per Vessel | 3,500–6,000 vehicles | 800–1,200 (mixed breakbulk) | 2–4 trucks per 40′ FR unit |
| Handling Damage Risk | Low (driven on/off) | High (crane handling, shifting) | Medium (lifting points critical) |
| Port Infrastructure | Requires RO-RO terminal | General bulk terminal | Standard container terminal |
| Cost per Unit (USD) | $1,100–$1,600 | $900–$1,300 | $2,200–$3,000 |
| Insurance Complexity | Moderate | High (due to stowage risk) | Moderate to High |
| Best For | High-volume, operable trucks | Non-operational or stacked units | High-value, custom, or oversized units |
Note: RO-RO offers optimal throughput for functional trucks. Flat Rack is preferred for non-drivable units or those with specialized configurations (e.g., crane trucks, mixers).
3. Corrosion Mitigation: Wax Spraying Protection Protocol
Marine atmospheric and saltwater exposure during transit pose significant corrosion risks to undercarriages, brake systems, and structural steel components. SEA LION International mandates the following anti-corrosion standard for all exported used trucks:
Wax Spraying System Specifications
| Parameter | Specification |
|---|---|
| Application Standard | ISO 8501-1:2007 / SSPC-SP 10 (Near-white metal) |
| Wax Type | Solvent-based, hydrophobic, salt-excluding polymer wax (e.g., Dinitrol 4722, Fluid Film) |
| Application Method | High-pressure spray (12–15 bar), full undercarriage coverage |
| Target Zones | Frame rails, suspension mounts, fuel tanks, brake lines, differential housings |
| Dwell Time | Minimum 48 hours pre-shipment for penetration |
| Reapplication Interval | Not required for single transit (90-day protection window) |
| Compliance Verification | Pre-shipment inspection with borescope and adhesion testing (cross-hatch ASTM D3359) |
Performance Data: Field trials show 87% reduction in chloride-induced pitting on treated units vs. untreated controls after 25-day Pacific crossing.
4. Logistics Integration & Inland Distribution
Post-Discharge Workflow (Port to Phoenix)
| Step | Process | Lead Time |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Customs clearance (ISF, ACE filing) | 1–2 days |
| 2 | De-stuffing / vehicle release (RO-RO ramp or container yard) | 0.5–1 day |
| 3 | OTR trucking or rail shuttle to Phoenix intermodal yard | 2–4 days |
| 4 | Final inspection, wax residue removal, fleet integration | 1 day |
Recommendation: Utilize bonded container freight stations (CFS) in LA for wax cleanup and compliance checks prior to inland dispatch.
5. Cost-Benefit Recommendations
| Scenario | Preferred Method | Rationale |
|---|---|---|
| >50 trucks, operable | RO-RO | Lowest cost per unit, rapid turnaround |
| Mixed fleet, non-drivable units | Flat Rack | Secure transport, compatibility with lift equipment |
| Budget-constrained, tolerant of risk | Bulk Cargo | Lowest base rate; only recommended with full insurance and sacrificial units |
6. Conclusion
For construction firms and fleet operators sourcing used trucks from Chinese surplus markets for deployment in arid, high-utilization environments like Phoenix, AZ, RO-RO shipping with industrial-grade wax spraying represents the optimal balance of cost, volume, and asset protection. Flat Rack solutions remain critical for non-operational or specialized equipment. Bulk Cargo is discouraged except in niche, low-value scenarios.
SEA LION International enforces MIL-STD-2073-1D handling protocols and corrosion control across all export lanes, ensuring compliance with U.S. EPA and DOT standards upon arrival.
