4.2 Treatment Workflow (Pre-Shipment)
- Surface Prep: Degrease and dry all metal surfaces.
- Masking: Protect hydraulic seals, sensors, and couplers.
- Spray Application: Apply uniform wax layer; focus on crevices and joints.
- Inspection: UV tracer or visual check for coverage gaps.
- Documentation: Issue corrosion protection certificate with batch ID.
5. Recommended Shipping Strategy
| Scenario | Recommended Method | Rationale |
|---|---|---|
| Single or small-batch units (1–5 units) | Flat Rack | Maximum protection, traceability, and ease of customs inspection |
| Large fleet orders (10+ units), self-propelled | RO-RO | Cost and time efficiency; scalable loading |
| Budget-constrained, inland destination with bulk handling | Not Recommended | High risk of damage and corrosion outweighs cost savings |
Best Practice: For all methods, apply wax spraying + use desiccant bags inside packaging zones.
6. Conclusion
For reliable and durable export of excavator brush rakes from China, Flat Rack shipping with wax-based anti-corrosion treatment offers the optimal balance of protection, traceability, and compliance. RO-RO remains viable for high-volume, mobile units. Bulk cargo is discouraged due to unacceptably high corrosion and damage risks.
Fleet managers and construction logistics teams are advised to integrate pre-shipment wax protection protocols into procurement contracts with Chinese OEMs to ensure equipment arrives in operational condition.
