Recommendation: Wax application must occur within 72 hours of final assembly and prior to inland transport to port.
4. Method Selection Guidelines
| Scenario | Recommended Method | Rationale |
|---|---|---|
| Exporting 50+ operable dump trucks | RO-RO | Lowest cost per unit, fastest loading, minimal handling damage |
| Non-functional units or reconditioned fleet | Flat Rack | Allows secure transport without operational capability |
| Mixed cargo with construction machinery | Bulk Cargo | Economical if shared vessel space; higher risk |
| Projects with tight delivery windows | RO-RO or Flat Rack | Predictable scheduling via containerized or dedicated RO-RO lines |
5. Compliance & Documentation
All shipments must adhere to:
– IMDG Code (for fuel and hydraulic fluid residues)
– COC (Certificate of Conformity) per destination country (e.g., SONCAP, SASO)
– Bill of Lading, Packing List, Commercial Invoice, Export License (China MOFCOM)
– Pre-shipment Inspection (PSI) as required by importing nation
6. Conclusion
For high-volume, operable dump truck exports from China, RO-RO shipping offers the optimal balance of cost, speed, and equipment safety. Flat Rack is preferred for non-operational or oversized units requiring ISO container compatibility. Bulk Cargo remains a viable but higher-risk alternative, particularly for mixed or secondary-market shipments.
Critical Success Factor: Implementation of wax-based anti-corrosion protection is non-negotiable for preserving equipment integrity across all shipping methods. SEA LION International enforces this as part of its pre-shipment protocol to ensure client asset longevity.
