EXECUTIVE OVERVIEW: HYDRAULIC BREAKER & MULTI-PROCESSOR ATTACHMENTS

Operational Imperative:
In mining, bulk material handling (logistics), and infrastructure construction, inefficient material processing directly impacts project timelines, fuel consumption, and total cost of ownership (TCO). Standard bucket operations face critical limitations in rock fragmentation, demolition, and secondary processing, leading to excessive cycle times, premature wear on primary equipment, and unplanned downtime. SEA LION International specifies high-impact hydraulic breakers (e.g., XCMG HB Series) and multi-processors (e.g., XCMG MP Series) as force multipliers for Tier-1 operations in austere environments.

Core Application Advantages:
Mining (Primary & Secondary Fragmentation): Replaces inefficient drilling/blasting in overburden removal and pit development. Breakers enable precise, controlled fragmentation of medium-hard rock (up to 150 MPa UCS), reducing vibration damage to adjacent structures and minimizing flyrock hazards. Multi-processors handle simultaneous sorting, crushing, and loading of blasted material.
Logistics (Bulk Material Handling): Critical for rapid demolition of concrete infrastructure at port terminals, crushing oversized aggregates in stockyards, and processing recycled construction debris for reuse. Enables on-site material sizing, eliminating costly off-haul transport.
Construction (Deep Excavation & Demolition):* Essential for trenching in rocky substrates, foundation work in constrained urban sites, and high-rise demolition where noise/vibration control is mandated. Multi-processors streamline complex site clearance by combining shearing, crushing, and gripping functions.

The analysis considers cargo integrity, handling efficiency, cost structure, transit reliability, and corrosion protection, with a focus on long-term durability in marine environments. Special attention is given to wax-based anti-corrosion treatments applied prior to shipment.


1. Product Profile: Excavator Attachments

Excavator attachments are modular tools engineered for heavy-duty construction, mining, and demolition applications. Common types include:

  • Hydraulic Breakers
  • Grapples (Brush, Rock, Scrap)
  • Augers
  • Shears
  • Buckets (Ditching, Trenching, Multi-Purpose)

Material Composition: High-tensile steel (e.g., Hardox 450–500), chrome-plated pins, and sealed hydraulic cylinders.
Sensitivity: Vulnerable to saltwater corrosion, mechanical impact during transit, and improper stowage.


2. Corrosion Protection: Wax Spraying Protocol

To mitigate seawater-induced corrosion during ocean transit, wax-based protective coating is applied prior to shipment. SEA LION International mandates the following standard:

Parameter Specification
Coating Type Solvent-based anti-corrosion wax (e.g., Cosmoline-type or equivalent)
Application Method High-pressure spray or dip-coating
Coverage All exposed ferrous surfaces, joints, hinge points, and undercarriage zones
Thickness 50–100 µm (measured via wet film gauge)
Drying Time Minimum 2 hours at 25°C prior to crating/loading
Removal Non-toxic, biodegradable solvents; compatible with industrial degreasers

Note: Wax protection is effective for up to 12 months under sealed conditions. Required for all sea-exported attachments regardless of shipping mode.


3. Shipping Method Comparison

The following table compares RO-RO, Bulk Cargo, and Flat Rack shipping methods based on key industrial logistics criteria.

Criteria RO-RO (Roll-on/Roll-off) Bulk Cargo Flat Rack Container
Cargo Compatibility Suitable only for self-propelled or wheeled attachments with mobility Loose, non-containerized items; ideal for high-volume, non-sensitive parts All types, including oversized, heavy, or irregularly shaped attachments
Max Unit Weight Up to 40 metric tons (subject to vessel ramp limits) No per-unit limit; vessel hold capacity dependent Up to 45 metric tons (40’ FR); higher with specialized FR units
Max Dimensions (L×W×H) 14m × 3.5m × 4.5m (varies by vessel) Unrestricted within hold dimensions 12m × 2.4m × 2.9m (40’ FR); side/well access
Loading/Unloading Driven or towed on/off vessel; fast (≤2 hrs per unit) Crane-assisted; slower, higher risk of impact Crane or forklift; moderate speed; full access for lashings
Cargo Securing Chocked and chained on deck Stowed loosely or in bundles; limited control Lashed with steel straps, twist locks, and dunnage; high control
Environmental Exposure Partially exposed to salt spray; requires full wax + shrink-wrapping High exposure; prone to condensation and salt ingress Exposed ends; requires wax + waterproof tarp or crate
Transit Time (China → Europe Example) 28–35 days 30–40 days 32–38 days (subject to container availability)
Port Infrastructure Requirements RO-RO ramps and clear maneuvering zones Standard bulk terminals with grabs/cranes Container yard with FR handling capability
Average Cost (Per Shipment – 20 units) $18,500–$24,000 $12,000–$16,000 (economical for bulk) $26,000–$34,000 (40’ FR × 5 units)
Risk Level (Corrosion & Damage) Medium (exposure, but controlled movement) High (shifting, moisture, handling damage) Low to Medium (if properly secured and covered)
Best For Mobile attachments (e.g., auger rigs with tracks) High-volume, low-value, corrosion-resistant components High-value, precision, or oversized attachments

4. Recommended Use Cases

Application Recommended Method Rationale
Export of 10x hydraulic shears (4m long, 8 tons each) Flat Rack High value, sensitive hydraulics; requires full protection and secure lashings
Shipment of 50x standard buckets (stackable, 2.5 tons) Bulk Cargo Cost-effective for high volume; wax + palletizing mitigates risk
Delivery of 5x tracked demolition grapples RO-RO Self-maneuverable; rapid loading/unloading reduces port demurrage

5. Operational Recommendations

  1. Pre-Shipment Protocol:
  2. All attachments must undergo wax spraying and visual inspection.
  3. Drain hydraulic systems or pressure-seal to prevent internal condensation.
  4. Attach desiccant packs inside enclosed housings.

  5. Documentation:

  6. Provide corrosion protection certification (ISO 9227 compliance).
  7. Include lashing plan for Flat Rack units (per CSC standards).

  8. Port Coordination:

  9. Confirm vessel compatibility (especially for RO-RO ramp load limits).
  10. Pre-book Flat Rack slots 6–8 weeks in advance due to limited availability.

6. Conclusion

For the export of excavator attachments from China, Flat Rack containers offer the highest level of cargo security and environmental control, making them ideal for high-value or precision equipment. Bulk Cargo remains cost-effective for large-volume, low-sensitivity shipments, provided wax protection and proper bundling are implemented. RO-RO is operationally efficient for mobile units but presents moderate corrosion risks.

SEA LION International recommends a risk-based selection model, integrating cargo value, dimensions, destination port capabilities, and total logistics cost. Wax-based corrosion inhibition is non-negotiable across all methods to ensure product integrity upon delivery.
