Shipping & Logistics Solutions

Industrial Specification Report 2026
Prepared for: Fleet Managers & Construction Companies
Subject: Logistics Solutions for Exporting Dump Truck Services from China
Issuing Authority: SEA LION International – Engineering & Logistics Division
Executive Summary
This report evaluates three primary maritime transport methods—RO-RO (Roll-on/Roll-off), Bulk Cargo, and Flat Rack container shipping—for the export of operational dump trucks and associated service packages from China. The assessment focuses on cost-efficiency, equipment integrity, transit duration, handling requirements, and corrosion protection. A standardized wax-based anti-corrosion treatment is recommended for all shipment types to mitigate seawater-induced degradation during ocean transit.
1. Overview of Export Demand
The global demand for heavy-duty dump trucks, particularly from infrastructure and mining sectors in Africa, Southeast Asia, and Latin America, has led to increased procurement from Chinese OEMs (e.g., SINOTRUK, Shacman, Foton Auman). SEA LION International supports turnkey export logistics, including pre-shipment servicing, crating, documentation, and marine corrosion protection.
2. Comparative Analysis: RO-RO vs. Bulk Cargo vs. Flat Rack
| Parameter | RO-RO Shipping | Bulk Cargo Shipping | Flat Rack Container |
|---|---|---|---|
| Definition | Vessels designed for wheeled equipment to drive on/off | Unpacked cargo loaded directly into ship holds | Open-sided containers for oversized cargo |
| Suitability for Dump Trucks | High – Ideal for operational units | Low – Not suitable for complete units | High – Supports disassembled or rigid-frame models |
| Loading Mechanism | Drive-on/drive-off via ramps | Crane or conveyor loading | Side/top loading via crane |
| Cargo Protection | Moderate – Exposed decks, limited weather shielding | Low – High exposure to moisture and handling damage | High – Securable with tarpaulins and coatings |
| Transit Time (Avg.) | 22–30 days (Asia to Africa) | 28–38 days | 24–32 days |
| Port Infrastructure | Requires RO-RO terminal | Standard bulk terminal | Standard container terminal |
| Cost (Per Unit, USD) | $4,200 – $5,800 | Not applicable | $6,500 – $8,200 |
| Handling Risk | Low (self-propelled) | High (rigging and sling stress) | Medium (depends on lashings) |
| Customs Clearance | Streamlined for vehicles | Complex for non-containerized | Standard ISO container process |
| Best For | Operational fleets, fast deployment | Raw materials, spare parts only | Oversized or non-driveable units |
Note: Bulk Cargo is not recommended for complete dump trucks. It may only be used for spare components or disassembled chassis.
3. Corrosion Protection: Wax Spraying Protocol
Seawater exposure during ocean transit poses a critical risk to undercarriages, hydraulic systems, and electrical components of dump trucks. SEA LION International mandates a wax-based anti-corrosion treatment for all exported units, regardless of shipping method.
Wax Spraying Specifications
| Parameter | Specification |
|---|---|
| Coating Type | Solvent-based synthetic wax (petroleum-derived) |
| Application Method | High-pressure spray (15–20 bar) |
| Coverage Areas | Frame rails, suspension points, fuel tanks, exhaust, under-hood compartments |
| Thickness | 30–50 μm (microns), uniform layer |
| Salt Spray Resistance | ASTM B117 compliant – 500+ hours |
| Drying Time | 2–4 hours (ambient 25°C) |
| Removability | Biodegradable solvent or steam wash post-delivery |
Benefits
- Forms hydrophobic barrier against salt-laden air and condensation
- Penetrates crevices and welded joints
- Non-abrasive; does not interfere with mechanical components
- Compatible with painted and galvanized surfaces
4. Recommended Logistics Strategy
| Use Case | Recommended Method | Rationale |
|---|---|---|
| Export of 10+ operational dump trucks | RO-RO | Cost-effective, rapid loading, minimal disassembly |
| Export of custom or oversized models | Flat Rack | Accommodates width/height beyond standard limits |
| Spare parts & toolkits | Consolidated in 40’ HC containers via container feeder | Not applicable to this comparison |
Hybrid Option: For non-operational units, partial disassembly (e.g., removal of booms or buckets) combined with Flat Rack transport ensures compliance with IMO CSC standards and reduces wind load.
5. Compliance & Certification
All shipments comply with:
– IMO International Convention for Safe Containers (CSC)
– IMDG Code (for fuel and hydraulic fluid residuals)
– Customs-Trade Partnership Against Terrorism (C-TPAT) standards at Chinese export ports
– China Classification Society (CCS) load certification for Flat Rack units
Wax spray process is documented per ISO 12944-2 (Corrosion Protection of Steel Structures).
6. Conclusion
For the export of dump truck services from China, RO-RO shipping is optimal for operational fleets due to speed and reduced handling risk. Flat Rack containers are superior for non-standard or damaged units requiring structural support. Bulk Cargo is not viable for complete vehicles.
Mandatory wax-based anti-corrosion treatment is critical across all methods to preserve asset integrity during marine transit. SEA LION International implements this protocol as standard in all outbound heavy equipment shipments.
