Shipping & Logistics Solutions
Industrial Specification Report 2026
Prepared by: SEA LION International
Subject: Logistics Solutions for Exporting ‘Excavator Park’ from China
Target Audience: Fleet Managers & Construction Companies
Executive Summary
This report outlines optimized maritime logistics strategies for the export of heavy construction equipment—specifically, an “excavator park”—from manufacturing hubs in China (e.g., Xuzhou, Shandong, and Shanghai) to global project sites. Three primary shipping methods—RO-RO (Roll-on/Roll-off), Bulk Cargo (Breakbulk), and Flat Rack container transport—are evaluated for efficiency, cost, equipment safety, and corrosion resistance. Special emphasis is placed on protective measures, including wax-based anti-corrosion coatings to mitigate seawater exposure during transit.
1. Equipment Overview: Excavator Park
An “excavator park” typically includes:
- Hydraulic Excavators (20–80 metric tons)
- Mini Excavators (1–8 metric tons)
- Attachments (breakers, grapples, augers)
- Spare parts kits
- Lubricants and fluids (packaged separately)
All units are considered high-value, corrosion-sensitive assets requiring secure and climate-resilient transport.
2. Shipping Method Comparison
| Parameter | RO-RO (Roll-on/Roll-off) | Bulk Cargo (Breakbulk) | Flat Rack Container |
|---|---|---|---|
| Loading Mechanism | Self-propelled or towed onto vessel | Craned onto vessel deck or hold | Secured on open-top flat rack container |
| Cargo Type Suitability | Ideal for operational heavy machinery | Suitable for non-operational or disassembled units | Best for oversized or non-roadable units |
| Stowage Density | High (stacked decks) | Moderate (depends on crane access) | Low to moderate (single layer per container) |
| Transit Time (China → Global Ports) | 25–35 days (direct routes) | 30–45 days (port handling delays) | 28–40 days (subject to container availability) |
| Port Infrastructure Requirements | RO-RO ramps, clear approach paths | Heavy-lift cranes, open laydown areas | Standard container cranes, flat storage |
| Handling Risk | Low (minimal lifting) | High (multiple crane lifts) | Medium (strapping and lifting required) |
| Security & Vandalism Risk | Low (sealed vessel decks) | Medium (exposed deck storage) | Medium (exposed sides on rack) |
| Average Cost per Unit (20–50t excavator) | $2,800 – $3,500 | $3,200 – $4,000 | $3,600 – $4,500 |
| Insurance Premiums | Lower (predictable handling) | Higher (handling risk) | Moderate (exposure risk) |
| Customs Clearance | Fast (unitized roll-off) | Slower (individual manifests) | Moderate (containerized documentation) |
3. Corrosion Protection: Wax Spraying System
Seawater exposure during ocean transit poses a significant corrosion risk to excavator undercarriages, hydraulic cylinders, and pivot joints. SEA LION International recommends the application of industrial-grade wax-based anti-corrosion spray as a preventive measure.

- Advantages: Accommodates non-functional or modified machines; flexible stowage.
- Limitations: High handling risk; extended port dwell times.
- Best For: Projects requiring specialized configurations or repair-bound units.
Flat Rack – Optimal for Oversized or Non-Roadable Equipment
- Advantages: Accommodates excavators with attachments mounted; no width/height limits.
- Limitations: Higher exposure to elements; requires full crating or tarping.
- Best For: Export of large mining excavators (>70t) or units with fixed tooling.
5. Integrated Logistics Protocol (SEA LION Standard 2026)
All shipments must comply with the following protocol:
- Pre-shipment Inspection (PSI): Verified by third-party surveyor (SGS/BV).
- Wax Coating Application: Conducted at certified facility in Chinese export port.
- Moisture Desiccant Placement: Inside cabs and engine compartments.
- GPS Telematics Tagging: Real-time monitoring of location, humidity, and shock events.
- Documentation: Bill of Lading, Certificate of Origin, Equipment Test Reports, Corrosion Protection Log.
6. Conclusion
For fleet managers and construction companies exporting excavator parks from China, RO-RO shipping offers the optimal balance of cost, speed, and equipment integrity for operational units. Flat Rack is preferred for oversized configurations, while Bulk Cargo remains a fallback for non-standard loads. Regardless of method, mandatory wax-based corrosion protection is critical to ensure equipment longevity and reduce post-delivery maintenance costs.
SEA LION International advises integrating wax protection into OEM pre-delivery protocols and selecting shipping modes based on equipment status, destination infrastructure, and project timelines.
