Salt Spray Resistance (ASTM B117) ≥ 500 hours
Drying Time 30–45 minutes (forced air)
Coverage Areas Frame rails, hinge points, weld seams, internal cavities
Validity 12 months (unwashed)

3.3 Efficacy by Shipping Method

Method Corrosion Risk (Without Wax) Risk Level (With Wax) Recommended?
RO-RO High Moderate Yes
Bulk Cargo Very High High Conditional (with full encapsulation)
Flat Rack Medium Low Yes (optimal synergy)

Note: Wax treatment is strongly advised for all methods. For Bulk Cargo, supplementary VCI (Vapor Corrosion Inhibitor) wrapping is recommended.


4. Operational Recommendations

  • For High-Volume Fleets (≥50 units):
    Use Bulk Cargo with wax spray + VCI film wrapping to optimize unit cost. Requires post-arrival inspection and cleaning.

  • For Premium Projects / Remote Sites:
    Flat Rack shipping with wax protection ensures structural integrity and faster offloading. Ideal for turnkey fleet deployments.

  • For Chassis-Integrated Units:
    RO-RO remains efficient, provided bodies are wax-treated and weather-wrapped at the axle line.


5. Conclusion

While Bulk Cargo offers the lowest per-unit shipping cost, its high corrosion risk undermines long-term equipment reliability. Flat Rack transport, combined with industrial wax spraying, delivers the optimal balance of protection, traceability, and structural safety—making it the preferred solution for construction firms prioritizing asset longevity. RO-RO is viable for mobile configurations but requires stringent anti-corrosion protocols.

SEA LION International advises all fleet managers to integrate automated wax protection into the pre-shipment workflow, regardless of transport mode, to ensure compliance with ISO 9227 corrosion resistance standards and minimize field maintenance costs.
