Shipping & Logistics Solutions

Industrial Specification Report 2026
Prepared for: Fleet Managers & Construction Companies
Subject: Logistics Solutions for Exporting Excavators from China
Executive Summary
This report evaluates three primary maritime transport methods—RO-RO (Roll-on/Roll-off), Bulk Cargo, and Flat Rack shipping—for the export of heavy construction equipment, specifically excavators, from manufacturing hubs in China to global project sites. The analysis focuses on operational efficiency, cost structure, equipment integrity, and corrosion protection protocols, including wax-based anti-seawater treatments. Recommendations are tailored to fleet managers and construction logistics planners seeking reliable, cost-effective, and equipment-preserving transport solutions.
1. Transport Method Comparison: RO-RO vs. Bulk Cargo vs. Flat Rack
| Parameter | RO-RO | Bulk Cargo | Flat Rack |
|---|---|---|---|
| Loading Mechanism | Self-propelled or towed onto vessel via ramps | Loosely stowed in hold, secured with lashing | Mounted and secured on open-frame container |
| Equipment Compatibility | Ideal for operational excavators (≥8 tons) | Suitable for non-operational or disassembled units | Best for oversized or track-heavy models |
| Transit Time | Fast (direct loading/unloading) | Moderate to slow (requires crane operations) | Moderate (subject to container availability) |
| Port Infrastructure Requirements | Requires RO-RO-capable terminals | Standard bulk terminals | Container-handling facilities |
| Damage Risk | Low (minimal handling) | High (crane lifts, shifting in hold) | Moderate (exposure to elements) |
| Cost (USD/unit, 20–35 ton excavator) | $2,800 – $4,200 | $1,900 – $3,100 | $3,500 – $5,500 |
| Insurance Premium | Low | High | Moderate |
| Customs Clearance | Fast (unitized handling) | Slower (bulk inspection) | Standard container processing |
| Geographic Reach | Limited to RO-RO-equipped ports | Widest global coverage | Broad (major container ports) |
2. Corrosion Protection: Wax Spraying System
Overview
Excavators transported via maritime routes are exposed to high-humidity, salt-laden environments, increasing the risk of seawater-induced corrosion on hydraulic components, undercarriages, and structural steel.
Recommended Protection: Industrial Wax Spraying
- Application Method: Electrostatic or airless spray application post-factory wash and dry
- Wax Type: Solvent-based, hydrophobic polymer wax (e.g., lanolin-infused formulations)
- Coverage Areas:
- Undercarriage (tracks, rollers, idlers)
- Hydraulic cylinder rods
- Electrical junction boxes (sealed prior)
- Exposed fasteners and pivot points
- Film Thickness: 25–50 μm (meets ISO 9223 C4 corrosion category standards)
- Removal: Biodegradable citrus-based degreaser at destination; non-abrasive
Benefits
- Reduces saltwater corrosion by up to 85% during 30–60 day voyages
- Compatible with all transport methods
- Cost: $120–$180 per unit (recommended for all export shipments)
3. Method-Specific Recommendations
RO-RO Shipping
- Best For: Operational fleet transfers, time-sensitive deliveries
- Conditions: Excavators must be road-legal and fuel-compliant
- Note: Requires pre-shipment inspection for mobility and safety systems
Bulk Cargo
- Best For: High-volume, non-operational units; cost-sensitive projects
- Risk Mitigation: Use of dunnage, moisture barriers, and internal desiccants
- Limitation: Not recommended for high-value or precision-hydraulic models
Flat Rack Containers
- Best For: Super-sized excavators (>50 tons), tracked models with width >3m
- Advantage: Full access for wax application and post-voyage inspection
- Requirement: Lashing to D-rings per CSC and ISO 1496 standards
4. SEA LION International Protocol (2026)
All excavator exports from China via SEA LION International include:
– Mandatory wax spraying (per DIN 50.017 KFW)
– GPS-tracked unit monitoring (optional upgrade)
– Pre-shipment inspection report (ISO 14613 compliant)
– CO2-neutral routing option (available for RO-RO and Flat Rack)
5. Conclusion
| Criteria | Recommended Method |
|---|---|
| Speed & Efficiency | RO-RO |
| Lowest Cost | Bulk Cargo |
| Max Equipment Protection | Flat Rack + Wax Spray |
| Optimal Balance (Cost, Safety, Coverage) | RO-RO with Wax Protection |
For fleet managers and construction firms prioritizing equipment longevity and operational readiness, RO-RO with industrial wax spraying is the preferred solution for standard excavator exports from China. Bulk cargo remains viable for budget-driven, non-critical shipments, while Flat Rack is essential for oversized units requiring structural exposure during transit.
