| Coating Thickness | 80–120 microns |
| Salt Spray Resistance | 1,000+ hours (ASTM B117 compliant) |
| Drying Time | 45 minutes (ambient 25°C) |
| Service Life (Marine Transit) | Full protection up to 60 days |
4.3. Application Workflow
- Pre-wash with alkaline degreaser
- Dry via high-velocity air knives
- Apply wax to chassis, suspension, exhaust, and wheel hubs
- Seal electrical connectors with dielectric grease
- Final inspection via borescope imaging
Note: Wax layer is removable post-delivery using biodegradable citrus-based solvents.
5. Recommended Shipping Strategy
| Use Case | Recommended Method | Rationale |
|---|---|---|
| Operable trucks, high volume | RO-RO | Lowest handling risk, fastest turnaround, cost-effective at scale |
| Non-operable or damaged units | Flat Rack | Secure lashing, full structural support, compatibility with cranes |
| Mixed fleet, budget-constrained | Bulk Cargo + Wax Spray | Cost-saving; acceptable only with full anti-corrosion protocol |
6. Compliance & Documentation
- IMO RO-RO Safety Code (2026 Amendments)
- IMDG Code (for fuel tank residual compliance)
- CIQ Pre-shipment Inspection (China Entry-Exit)
- Bill of Lading, Export Declaration, Wax Treatment Certificate
7. Conclusion
For fleet managers and construction logistics teams exporting used trucks from Spokane via Chinese ports, RO-RO shipping with industrial wax protection provides the optimal balance of cost, speed, and asset preservation. Flat Rack is advised for non-functional or oversized units, while Bulk Cargo is conditionally acceptable only with rigorous corrosion mitigation.
