6. Operational Guidelines for Exporters
- Pre-shipment Protocol
- Conduct full wax spray treatment at OEM facility pre-loading.
- Seal all electrical ports with hydrophobic breather caps (IP68 rated).
-
De-energize battery systems; apply dielectric grease to terminals.
-
Stowage & Securing
- Flat Rack units: Lash using ISO-compliant twist locks and tensioned turnbuckles (min. 5-point restraint).
-
RO-RO units: Chock wheels and engage parking brake; secondary cable anchoring required.
-
Monitoring
- Deploy IoT moisture/temperature loggers inside cab and battery bay.
- Report data to fleet logistics dashboard upon discharge.
7. Conclusion
For the secure, high-integrity export of electric fuel dump trucks from China, Flat Rack containerization combined with industrial-grade wax spraying represents the optimal logistics solution. This method ensures compliance with international equipment protection standards (ISO 1496, IMO CSS Code) while minimizing lifecycle maintenance costs post-delivery. RO-RO may be considered for cost-sensitive, low-risk routes with supplementary protective measures. Bulk cargo is not viable for E-FDTs.
