| Transit Time (China → Global) | 25–40 days (direct routes) | 30–45 days (port delays common) | 28–42 days (subject to congestion) |
| Cost (USD per unit) | $18,000 – $28,000 | $12,000 – $20,000 (if feasible) | $22,000 – $35,000 |
| Risk of Damage | Low (minimal handling) | Moderate (lifting risks) | High (exposed to elements) |
| Insurance Premium | Low | Moderate | High |
| Best Suited For | Operational units, rapid deploy | Fully disassembled components | Oversized, non-operational units |
Note: Bulk Cargo is only viable if the excavator is disassembled into modular components (e.g., boom, cab, undercarriage). RO-RO is optimal for intact units with mobility. Flat Rack is used when dimensions exceed container standards but disassembly is limited.
Corrosion Protection: Wax Spraying Protocol
Exposure to salt-laden marine environments during transit poses a significant risk to excavator hydraulics, pivot joints, and undercarriage assemblies. SEA LION International mandates the application of industrial-grade anti-corrosion wax spray as per ASTM D1745 standards.
Wax Spraying Specifications
| Parameter | Requirement |
|---|---|
| Wax Type | Solvent-based, hydrophobic polymer blend |
| Application Method | High-pressure spray (200–300 psi) |
| Coverage Areas | Undercarriage, track links, hydraulic rams, pivot points, exposed steel surfaces |
| Coating Thickness | 50–75 microns (measured via DFT gauge) |
| Drying Time | 4–6 hours (ambient 25°C, 60% RH) |
| Salt Spray Resistance | 1,000+ hours (ASTM B117 compliance) |
| Removal Process | Biodegradable solvent wash at destination |
Compliance: All units must undergo post-application inspection and certification prior to loading.
Recommendations
| Scenario | Recommended Method | Rationale |
|---|---|---|
| Intact, operational excavator | RO-RO | Minimal handling, faster discharge, lower damage risk |
| Disassembled components (e.g., boom, cab) | Bulk Cargo | Cost-effective for loose cargo; avoids container surcharges |
| Partially disassembled, oversized | Flat Rack | Accommodates dimensions; enables secure lashing |
| High-corrosion risk routes (tropical seas) | All methods + Wax | Mandatory wax protection regardless of method |
Conclusion
For export logistics of CAT mining excavators from China, RO-RO shipping is the preferred method for intact units due to operational efficiency and reduced mechanical risk. Flat Rack containers offer flexibility for oversized configurations, while Bulk Cargo remains a cost-competitive alternative only when full disassembly is acceptable. Industrial wax spraying is non-negotiable for corrosion mitigation and must be integrated into pre-shipment preparation protocols.
SEA LION International enforces compliance with ISO 9001 and IICL-6 standards across all transport operations to ensure equipment integrity upon delivery.
