5. Recommended Shipping Protocol
| Shipping Mode | Wax Application Required | Securing Method | Monitoring During Transit |
|---|---|---|---|
| RO-RO | Full undercarriage + joints | Chocks, lashing straps (4-point) | Visual inspection at port departure |
| Bulk Cargo | Full equipment + engine bay | Wooden cribbing, wire ropes | Humidity loggers (shared hold) |
| Flat Rack | Standard wax + boom seals | Twist locks, lashing bridges (6-point) | GPS + shock/vibration telemetry |
6. Conclusion & Recommendations
- For urgent, high-volume deployments: RO-RO offers rapid turnaround but demands rigorous wax protection and port compatibility.
- For budget-constrained projects with flexible timelines: Bulk Cargo is economical but carries the highest risk of corrosion and handling damage.
- For premium protection and traceability: Flat Rack is optimal despite higher cost, especially when combined with wax spraying and real-time monitoring.
SEA LION Recommendation:
For global export of the rh14 excavator, Flat Rack shipping with WAX-CORR 2026 treatment provides the highest equipment integrity assurance. This method minimizes post-delivery rework, reduces warranty claims, and aligns with ISO 12944-2:2019 standards for marine corrosion protection.
