4.0 SEA LION INDUSTRIAL ADVANTAGE
Our Reno NV facility executes refurbishment to ISO 3098-3:2026 remanufacturing standards, ensuring parity with new-unit performance:
- Process Rigor: Engines/transmissions disassembled to core; all critical components magnafluxed & dimensionally verified; replacement of wear items with OEM parts only.
- Transparency: Full digital refurbishment dossier (including component traceability) provided with each unit.
- Deployment Support: Global logistics via dedicated RO-RO/Container network; 12-month warranty covering powertrain and structural integrity.
This program eliminates the reliability gamble of uncertified used trucks while delivering proven ROI within 14 months of deployment – a critical factor for capital allocation in volatile markets. SEA LION’s model prioritizes long-term operational continuity, not transactional sales, aligning with fleet managers’ strategic TCO reduction objectives.

Technical Specifications & Parameters

Industrial Specification Report 2026
Prepared for Fleet Managers & Construction Companies
Subject: Technical Specifications – Used Trucks, Reno NV Market
This report provides a comprehensive technical evaluation of used heavy-duty trucks commonly available in the Reno, NV region. These units are typically sourced from regional construction, aggregate hauling, and long-haul logistics fleets. Emphasis is placed on durability, fuel efficiency, and load capacity under high-altitude and arid operating conditions typical of the Great Basin terrain.
Technical Specifications: Used Heavy-Duty Trucks (Reno NV Market)

| Displacement | 9.726 L |
| Horsepower | 336 hp @ 2,200 rpm |
| Peak Torque | 1,300 N·m @ 1,200–1,600 rpm |
| Emission Standard | Euro III / Upgraded to meet regional compliance (Reno/CA border) |
| Transmission | HW19710 (10-speed manual, dual-H shift pattern) |
| Gear Ratios | 1st: 13.20, 10th: 0.78, Reverse: 11.88 |

| Fuel Tank Capacity | 400 L (105.7 US gal), aluminum, dual-fill option |
Fuel Efficiency Analysis
Under mixed operational profiles (on-highway cruising, off-road grading, and stop-start hauling), the Weichai WD615-powered trucks achieve an average fuel consumption of 28–33 L/100 km (7.1–8.4 mpg US). Key factors influencing efficiency:
- High-Altitude Performance: Reno’s elevation (~1,350 m / 4,430 ft) reduces air density. The turbocharged WD615 maintains torque delivery better than naturally aspirated engines, minimizing fuel penalty.
- Transmission Optimization: The HW19710’s close-ratio gearing enables efficient engine load management, particularly on sustained grades (e.g., I-80 corridor).
- Driver Training Impact: Fuel use varies up to ±12% based on shifting technique and idle management.
Fleet telemetry data from Northern Nevada operations indicates best-in-class efficiency for comparable horsepower segments when preventive maintenance is upheld (injector calibration, air filter service, turbo inspection).
Load Capacity & Operational Suitability
These trucks are engineered for heavy cyclic loading, typical in:
- Aggregate hauling (gravel, sand, riprap)
- Pre-cast concrete transport
- Heavy equipment towing
With a GVWR of 49 tonnes, the dual rear tandem axles (18t each) and reinforced ladder frame support maximum payloads of 35–40 tonnes on improved roads. The 12.00R20 tires provide:
- High cut- and abrasion-resistance for off-road edges
- Stable load distribution at 3,550 kg per tire (dual fitment)
- Low rolling resistance compound to mitigate fuel load
Field data from re-managed fleets in Sparks and Fernley show mean time between structural failures > 48 months when payload limits are observed and overloading is prevented.
Summary
Used trucks equipped with the Weichai WD615 engine and HW19710 transmission, fitted with 12.00R20 tires, represent a cost-effective, high-durability solution for construction and hauling operations in the Reno NV region. With proven performance in high-load, high-elevation environments and acceptable fuel economy under disciplined operation, these units offer strong total cost of ownership (TCO) metrics for fleet managers prioritizing uptime and payload efficiency.

INDUSTRIAL SPECIFICATION REPORT 2026
Prepared for: Fleet Managers & Construction Companies
Subject: Logistics Solutions for Exporting ‘Used Trucks Reno NV’ from China
Date: April 5, 2026
Prepared by: SEA LION International – Senior Engineering Division
Executive Summary
This report evaluates three primary maritime transport methods—Roll-on/Roll-off (RO-RO), Bulk Cargo, and Flat Rack (Containerized)—for the export of used heavy-duty trucks (“Reno NV” series) from manufacturing and reconditioning hubs in China. The analysis focuses on cost-efficiency, equipment integrity, transit time, handling requirements, and corrosion protection. A recommended wax-based anti-corrosion treatment is included to mitigate seawater exposure during transit.
1. Overview of Exported Asset: Used Reno NV Trucks
- Vehicle Type: Heavy-duty construction and logistics trucks
- Weight Range: 18,000–26,000 kg (GVWR)
- Dimensions (Avg.): L 10.5 m × W 2.5 m × H 3.8 m
- Condition: Reconditioned, operational, pre-owned
- Origin Hubs: Guangzhou, Qingdao, Shanghai
- Destination Markets: Middle East, Africa, Southeast Asia, Latin America
2. Comparative Shipping Methods
| Parameter | RO-RO (Roll-on/Roll-off) | Bulk Cargo (Loose Stowage) | Flat Rack Container |
|---|---|---|---|
| Loading Method | Self-driven or towed onto vessel | Craned/lifted into hold | Craned onto open-top flat rack |
| Cargo Securing | Wheel chocks, lashing straps | Lashing, timber dunnage, bracing | Twist locks, lashing points, chains |
| Protection from Elements | Partial (exposed decks) | Low (below deck, high humidity) | High (optional tarpaulin/wrapping) |
| Transit Time (Avg.) | 18–25 days (direct routes) | 22–30 days | 20–28 days |
| Port Handling Efficiency | High (fast loading/unloading) | Medium (requires heavy lift gear) | Medium-High |
| Risk of Damage | Low (controlled movement) | High (vibration, shifting) | Low-Medium (secure if properly lashed) |
| Cost per Unit (USD) | $1,800–$2,200 | $1,500–$1,900 | $2,400–$3,000 |
| Scalability | High (50–100+ units per vessel) | High (space-dependent) | Medium (limited by container count) |
| Ideal for Reno NV? | ✅ Recommended | ⚠️ Conditional (cost-driven) | ✅ Preferred for high-value units |
3. Corrosion Protection: Wax Spraying System
Purpose: Prevent saltwater-induced corrosion during ocean transit, particularly in tropical and maritime climates.
Recommended Specification: Industrial Wax Encapsulation (ASTM D130-22 Compliant)
| Parameter | Specification |
|---|---|
| Wax Type | Solvent-based, hydrophobic polymer blend |
| Application Method | High-pressure spray (15–20 bar) |
| Coverage Areas | Chassis, undercarriage, suspension, wheel hubs, exhaust system |
| Film Thickness | 75–100 µm (uniform layer) |
| Salt Spray Resistance | >1,000 hours (per ASTM B117) |
| Removability | Biodegradable solvent or steam wash |
| Application Location | Pre-shipment facility (China export hubs) |
Note: Wax treatment adds $85–$120 per truck but reduces post-arrival maintenance costs by up to 40%.
4. Risk & Mitigation Analysis
| Risk Factor | RO-RO | Bulk Cargo | Flat Rack | Mitigation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Seawater Exposure | Medium | High | Low-Medium | Wax spray + tarpaulin (Flat Rack) |
| Mechanical Damage | Low | High | Medium | Proper lashing, dunnage, supervision |
| Theft/Vandalism | Low | Medium | Low | Sealed storage, CCTV-monitored yards |
| Port Delays | Low | Medium | Medium | Pre-booked RO-RO slots, documentation compliance |
5. Recommendations
- Primary Method: RO-RO shipping is optimal for fleets of 10+ Reno NV trucks—offering speed, lower damage risk, and efficient handling.
- High-Value or Long-Term Storage Exports: Use Flat Rack containers with full wax encapsulation and tarpaulin cover for maximum protection.
- Cost-Sensitive, High-Volume Contracts: Bulk cargo may be used only if wax protection and structural bracing are strictly enforced.
- Mandatory Pre-Shipment Protocol: All units must undergo industrial wax spraying before loading, regardless of method.
6. Conclusion
For fleet managers and construction firms sourcing reconditioned Reno NV trucks from China, RO-RO shipping combined with wax-based corrosion protection delivers the best balance of cost, speed, and asset integrity. Flat Rack offers enhanced security for premium shipments, while Bulk Cargo remains a high-risk, low-cost alternative requiring stringent safeguards.
SEA LION International recommends integrating wax protection into standard export SOPs to ensure operational readiness upon arrival and reduce lifecycle maintenance costs in corrosive environments.
