3. Corrosion Protection: Wax Spraying Treatment
3.1 Seawater Exposure Risk
Used trucks transported via maritime routes face prolonged exposure to salt-laden air and potential seawater immersion during heavy weather. Corrosion affects undercarriages, brake lines, electrical junctions, and structural weld points.
3.2 Wax Spraying Protocol
A petroleum-based anti-corrosion wax emulsion is applied pre-shipment using high-pressure spray systems. The treatment includes:
- Coverage Areas: Frame rails, suspension components, wheel wells, fuel tanks, and underbody panels.
- Application Standard: Minimum 20–25 µm dry film thickness (per ISO 12944-2).
- Duration: Effective protection for up to 12 months in marine environments.
- Compliance: Meets MIL-PRF-16173E (Grade 2) for corrosion-inhibiting compounds.
3.3 Method-Specific Application Efficiency
| Method | Wax Protection Feasibility | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| RO-RO | High | Full undercarriage access; vehicles driven through spray bay pre-loading |
| Bulk Cargo | Medium | Limited access during lift; requires pre-treatment at depot |
| Flat Rack | High | Open exposure allows complete coverage; ideal for non-operational units |
4. Operational Recommendations
For Fleet Managers:
- RO-RO is optimal for exporting 50+ operational units with minimal downtime. Fast turnaround and low handling risk support rapid fleet turnover.
- Implement mandatory wax spraying at consolidation depots to ensure compliance with import country durability standards.
For Construction Companies:
- Flat Rack preferred for heavy-duty, non-roadworthy units (e.g., excavator carriers, crane trucks).
-
Use desiccant sealing in cab interiors in conjunction with wax spraying to prevent internal condensation damage.
-
Bulk Cargo is not recommended unless RO-RO/Flat Rack capacity is constrained; higher risk of structural damage during crane handling.
5. Compliance & Documentation
All shipments must include:
– Pre-shipment inspection (PSI) report
– Certificate of Conformity (CoC)
– Anti-corrosion treatment log (wax batch #, application date, coverage map)
– Bill of Lading with Incoterms 2026 (FOB Shanghai/Ningbo recommended)
6. Conclusion
For the export of used trucks from Grand Junction, China, RO-RO shipping offers the best balance of cost, speed, and safety for operational fleets, provided wax-based corrosion protection is uniformly applied. Flat Rack containers are superior for non-functional or oversized units, offering full environmental sealing and treatment access. Bulk Cargo remains a legacy option with declining competitiveness due to higher risk and cost profiles.
SEA LION International recommends integrating automated wax spraying lines at Grand Junction consolidation centers to standardize protection across all shipment types.
