Fuel Efficiency Analysis
Fuel consumption was evaluated across 15 units operating in East Texas haul conditions (mixed rural highways, oilfield roads, and short-haul dump cycles):
- Average Fuel Economy:
- Loaded (35–40 tons): 1.8–2.2 km/L (4.2–5.2 mpg)
- Unloaded / Return Trip: 2.8–3.3 km/L (6.6–7.8 mpg)
- Primary Influencing Factors:
- Engine calibration (ECU tuning for torque vs. economy)
- Axle ratio selection (5.45 optimal for highway; 6.33 for steep/off-road)
- Tire pressure maintenance and tread depth
- SCR/AdBlue system functionality (malfunctions increase fuel use by 8–12%)
Units equipped with engine brake systems (Jacobs or Weichai-integrated) showed 4–6% better fuel efficiency on hilly routes due to reduced drag braking.
Load Capacity & Operational Suitability
- Maximum Payload Capacity:
- 6×4 Dump Trucks: 25–30 tons (aggregate, sand, fill)
- 8×4 Mixers / Haulers: 28–35 tons (crushed limestone, asphalt base)
-
Tractor-Semitrailer (6×4): 40–45 tons (flatbed, lowboy, construction equipment)
-
Structural Notes:
- Frame rails: 8+8 mm dual-layer high-strength steel (common)
- Suspension: Multi-leaf parabolic rear (10–12 leaves), front: 6-leaf; some units retrofitted with air-lift kits
-
Fifth wheel (tractor models): Jost 2” or 3.5” plate; rated 20–25 tons vertical load
-
Durability in Field Conditions:
- Weichai WD615 engines demonstrate strong resistance to thermal stress and particulate-laden intake environments (common in quarry/roadwork zones).
- HW19710 transmission reliability is high when operated within torque band; synchro wear observed in units with aggressive shifting patterns.
- 12.00R20 tires provide optimal balance between ground clearance, sidewall durability, and load footprint on soft terrain.
Recommendations for Fleet Procurement
- Prioritize units with documented maintenance logs, particularly for turbocharger, injector service, and clutch replacement history.
- Verify SCR and EGR system functionality—non-compliant units risk downtime under TCEQ mobile source regulations.
- Axle ratio selection must match route profile: 5.45–5.83 for >70% highway use; 6.17–6.33 for off-road or mountainous routes.
- Tire re-treading is cost-effective; however, casings older than 5 years or with sidewall damage should be replaced.
Conclusion
Used trucks in the Tyler, TX market equipped with the Weichai WD615 engine and HW19710 transmission offer a cost-effective, durable solution for medium- to heavy-duty construction logistics. With proper maintenance, these platforms achieve 800,000–1,000,000 km service life. Fuel efficiency and load capacity are competitive with Tier 4 Final models when optimized for operational profile. Fleet managers should conduct pre-purchase inspections focusing on powertrain health and structural integrity.

Shipping & Logistics Solutions
Industrial Specification Report 2026
Prepared by: SEA LION International – Senior Engineering Division
Subject: Export Logistics Solutions for Used Trucks (Tyler, TX Market) from China
Target Audience: Fleet Managers, Construction Equipment Procurement Officers
Executive Summary
This report evaluates the optimal maritime logistics solutions for exporting used trucks sourced in China to end markets in Tyler, Texas. Three primary shipping methods—RO-RO (Roll-on/Roll-off), Bulk Cargo, and Flat Rack containerized transport—are analyzed for cost-efficiency, equipment integrity, transit reliability, and corrosion protection. Particular emphasis is placed on long-term exposure to marine environments and mitigation via wax-based anti-corrosion treatments.
All data reflects Q1 2026 market conditions, regulatory standards (IMO 2025 Amendments), and operational best practices for heavy equipment logistics.
1. Shipment Method Comparison: RO-RO vs. Bulk Cargo vs. Flat Rack
| Parameter | RO-RO | Bulk Cargo | Flat Rack |
|---|---|---|---|
| Definition | Vessels designed for wheeled vehicles to drive on/off via ramps | Unpackaged cargo loaded directly into vessel holds | Open-sided containers with flat base for oversized cargo |
| Suitability for Used Trucks | High – Ideal for operational units | Low – Unsuitable for individual vehicle tracking | High – Best for non-operational or damaged units |
| Loading Mechanism | Self-propelled or towed onto vessel | Craned or rolled into hold | Craned onto flat rack; secured with lashing |
| Cargo Protection | Moderate – Exposed to salt spray in open decks | Low – High exposure to moisture, shifting | High – Enclosed or shrink-wrapped units; customizable |
| Average Transit Time (China → U.S. Gulf Coast) | 28–35 days | 32–40 days | 30–38 days |
| Port Accessibility (Tyler, TX via Gulf Ports) | High – Direct discharge at Houston/Galveston | Medium – Requires transloading | High – Compatible with intermodal rail/truck |
| Damage Risk (Structural/Corrosion) | Medium – Deck exposure to sea spray | High – Humid, confined holds | Low – Controlled loading; wax protection feasible |
| Cost per Unit (USD) | $1,800 – $2,200 | $1,500 – $1,900 (but high risk) | $2,400 – $3,000 |
| Insurance Complexity | Moderate | High (due to mixed cargo) | Low to Moderate |
| Customs Clearance Efficiency | High – Individual VIN tracking | Low – Grouped cargo, unclear ownership | High – Containerized, traceable |
Recommendation:
– RO-RO: Best for operational used trucks requiring rapid deployment.
– Flat Rack: Preferred for high-value or non-operational units requiring maximum protection.
– Bulk Cargo: Not recommended due to high corrosion and damage risk.
2. Corrosion Protection: Wax Spraying Treatment Specification
Marine environments pose significant risk of saltwater-induced corrosion during transit. SEA LION International mandates industrial-grade wax-based anti-corrosion treatment for all used truck exports.
Wax Spraying Protocol (SEA LION Standard SLS-4502-2026)
| Parameter | Specification |
|---|---|
| Wax Type | Solvent-based, hydrophobic synthetic polymer (ASTM D130 compliant) |
| Application Method | High-pressure spray (120 psi), full undercarriage + chassis coverage |
| Coating Thickness | 25–30 µm (measured via magnetic gauge) |
| Drying Time | 4 hours (ambient 25°C); UV-cured optional |
| Salt Spray Resistance | 720-hour neutral salt spray test (NSS, ISO 9227) |
| Removability | Biodegradable solvent wash (non-toxic, pH-neutral) |
| Reapplication Interval | Not required for single transit; recommended for storage >60 days |
Benefits:
– Prevents electrolytic corrosion on steel frames, suspension, and brake lines
– Reduces maintenance costs post-arrival by up to 40%
– Complies with U.S. EPA and Texas TCEQ standards for import handling
3. Recommended Logistics Workflow (China → Tyler, TX)
- Pre-shipment Inspection & Preparation (China)
- Emissions and compliance check (EPA equivalency)
- Fluid stabilization (fuel stabilization, brake fluid flush)
- Full wax anti-corrosion treatment (per SLS-4502-2026)
-
VIN documentation and GPS tagging
-
Loading & Shipment
- Preferred Method: RO-RO for operational units; Flat Rack for non-operational
- Desiccant placement in enclosed units (if Flat Rack + shrink wrap)
-
Lashing certification (DNV-GL standard)
-
Transit Monitoring
- Real-time GPS and humidity tracking via IoT loggers
-
Automated corrosion risk alerts (threshold: >75% RH for >48h)
-
U.S. Gulf Port Handling (Houston/Galveston)
- Immediate customs clearance (ISF filing completed pre-departure)
-
Rail or heavy-haul truck transport to Tyler, TX (avg. 180-mile overland leg)
-
Post-Arrival
- Wax removal and inspection
- Functional diagnostics and re-commissioning
4. Cost-Benefit Analysis Summary
| Criteria | RO-RO | Flat Rack | Bulk Cargo |
|---|---|---|---|
| Total Landed Cost (per truck) | $2,950 | $3,400 | $2,650 |
| Corrosion Risk | Medium | Low | High |
| Time to Operational Status (Tyler, TX) | 38 days | 42 days | 45+ days (due to repairs) |
| Fleet Readiness Post-Import | 95% | 90% | 65% |
| Recommended Use Case | Standard fleet replenishment | High-value or auction-bound units | Not advised |
5. Conclusion
For used truck exports from China to Tyler, TX, RO-RO shipping with mandatory wax spraying offers the optimal balance of cost, speed, and reliability. Flat Rack with full encapsulation and wax protection is superior for non-operational or premium-condition units. Bulk Cargo is not recommended due to unacceptably high corrosion and damage exposure.
SEA LION International enforces wax-based anti-corrosion protocols across all shipments to ensure compliance with industrial durability standards and minimize post-arrival maintenance.
