| Fuel Tank Capacity | 300–400 L (steel, side-mounted) | Dual tanks on long-haul variants |
| Frame Rails | 300 mm x 8 mm high-tensile steel | Ladder frame; suitable for body integration (dump, crane, mixer) |
Fuel Efficiency Analysis
Fuel economy in WD615-powered trucks is highly dependent on load profile, terrain, and driver behavior. Under typical construction or regional haul conditions:
- Loaded Operation (25–35T GVW): 18–24 L/100 km
- Empty or Light Load: 14–18 L/100 km
- Cruising (80 km/h, flat terrain): ~20 L/100 km
The Weichai WD615 engine employs Bosch mechanical injection (in pre-2020 models) or electronically controlled unit pumps (ECUP) in later variants. While not meeting Euro V+ standards, its durability and ease of field repair make it suitable for remote operations. Fuel efficiency can be optimized through:
- Regular injector calibration
- Use of high-efficiency gear ratios (HW19710 allows precise load matching)
- Proper tire inflation and alignment
Note: Fuel consumption increases significantly with underinflated 12.00R20 tires or mismatched rear axle ratios.
Load Capacity & Structural Integrity
These trucks are engineered for high-cycle, high-load applications:
- Maximum Payload Capacity:
- 6×4 Tractor: Up to 25,000 kg (with 40T GCW)
- 8×4 Dump Truck: 18,000–22,000 kg typical payload
- Frame Yield Strength: ≥500 MPa; proven in quarry and aggregate transport
- Axle Duty Cycle: Rear axles rated for continuous 13T loading; differential oil must be changed every 20,000 km under heavy use
The 12.00R20 18PR tires support a maximum single-load rating of ~3,000 kg per tire (load index 145), sufficient for 8×4 configurations within legal limits. However, oversizing to 12R22.5 or 11R22.5 is common in secondary markets to improve ride and wear life.
Operational Recommendations
- Pre-Purchase Inspection: Verify engine compression, turbocharger condition, and transmission synchros on HW19710.
- Axle Maintenance: Inspect differential backlash and pinion preload—common wear points after 400,000 km.
- Tire Replacement: Match all 12.00R20 tires by brand and tread depth to prevent driveline vibration.
- Fuel System: Use diesel with <500 ppm sulfur; install external filtration for extended pump life.
Conclusion
Used trucks equipped with the Weichai WD615 engine and HW19710 transmission offer a cost-effective solution for medium-duty construction and freight operations. With proper maintenance, these platforms deliver 800,000+ km service life. Fleet managers should prioritize units with documented service history and avoid those with modified gear ratios or rebuilt engines lacking OEM certification.
For integration into mixed fleets, compatibility with standard 12.00R20 tire inventory and common driveline components ensures low downtime and parts availability.

INDUSTRIAL SPECIFICATION REPORT 2026
Prepared by: SEA LION International – Marine Logistics Division
Subject: Export Logistics Solutions for Used Trucks Sourced via Chinese Digital Marketplaces
Target Audience: Fleet Managers, Construction Equipment Procurement Officers
Executive Summary
This report evaluates three primary maritime transport modalities—Roll-on/Roll-off (RO-RO), Bulk Cargo, and Flat Rack containerized shipping—for the export of used trucks acquired from digital marketplaces in China (e.g., localized B2C platforms analogous to Facebook Marketplace). The analysis is tailored to fleet managers and construction firms sourcing cost-effective heavy-duty vehicles from China, focusing on operational efficiency, cargo integrity, and corrosion mitigation during ocean transit.
A critical component of this specification is the integration of anti-corrosion wax spraying protocols to protect exposed metal surfaces from saltwater exposure during sea transport.
1. Sourcing Context: Used Trucks from China
China’s secondary commercial vehicle market has expanded significantly, offering late-model, low-mileage trucks from domestic fleets undergoing fleet renewal. These vehicles—typically 6×4 dump trucks, 4×2 tractor units, and 8×4 mixers—are increasingly accessible via digital marketplaces with transparent inspection records and pre-export certification.
Key Considerations:
– Vehicles are often right-hand drive (RHD), requiring regulatory compliance checks in destination markets.
– Pre-shipment inspection and compliance with destination country emissions/registration standards are mandatory.
– Trucks must be cleaned, degreased, and prepared for maritime exposure before loading.
2. Comparative Analysis: RO-RO vs. Bulk Cargo vs. Flat Rack
| Parameter | RO-RO (Roll-on/Roll-off) | Bulk Cargo (Lo-Lo) | Flat Rack Container |
|---|---|---|---|
| Loading Method | Driven on/off vessel via stern ramp | Lifted by crane (Lo-Lo: Lift-on/Lift-off) | Secured on open-sided flat rack, lifted by crane |
| Vehicle Compatibility | Operational trucks only (must be drivable) | Operational or non-operational (deadheads acceptable) | Any condition; ideal for oversized or damaged units |
| Cargo Protection | Moderate (exposed decks; partial weather cover) | Low (exposed to deck elements) | High (custom lashings, tarps, optional encapsulation) |
| Corrosion Risk | High (direct salt spray exposure) | High (prolonged deck storage) | Moderate (controlled environment with wax + tarp) |
| Transit Time | Fast (direct port-to-port, minimal handling) | Moderate (dependent on port crane availability) | Moderate to slow (subject to container stacking) |
| Cost (USD/unit) | $1,800 – $2,400 | $1,500 – $2,000 | $2,600 – $3,500 |
| Port Infrastructure Required | RO-RO terminal with ramp access | General cargo berth with heavy-lift cranes | Standard container terminal with spreader capability |
| Security | Moderate (vehicle accessible during transit) | Low (exposed deck storage) | High (sealed, containerized, trackable) |
| Best For | Fleet batches of drivable trucks to major markets (Middle East, Africa, SE Asia) | Budget-sensitive shipments of non-running units | High-value, custom, or non-standard trucks (e.g., crane trucks, lowboys) |
3. Corrosion Mitigation: Wax Spraying Protocol
Seawater exposure during ocean transit poses a significant risk of galvanic and salt-induced corrosion on undercarriages, frames, and engine components. SEA LION International mandates a pre-shipment wax encapsulation process for all exported used trucks.
Wax Spraying Specification (SEA LION Standard SLS-MEP-2026)
| Parameter | Specification |
|---|---|
| Wax Type | Solvent-based, hydrophobic, rust-inhibitive compound (e.g., Dinitrol AVA 1500 or equivalent) |
| Application Method | High-pressure spray (200–300 psi) with rotary nozzle |
| Coverage Areas | Frame rails, suspension components, fuel tanks, wheel hubs, brake lines, undercarriage |
| Film Thickness | 30–50 µm (measured via magnetic gauge) |
| Curing Time | Minimum 4 hours at 25°C before loading |
| Reapplication | Required if transit exceeds 35 days or vessel rerouting occurs |
| Compliance | Verified via pre-shipment checklist and photographic log |
Note: Wax film provides up to 45 days of protection under tropical marine conditions (85% RH, 32°C, salt aerosol). Post-discharge, wax must be removed using biodegradable degreasers before commissioning.
4. Recommended Logistics Strategy by Use Case
| Use Case | Recommended Method | Rationale |
|---|---|---|
| Fleet Renewal (10+ operational trucks) | RO-RO | Fast turnaround, low handling damage, cost-efficient |
| Non-running units or salvage trucks | Bulk Cargo | Accommodates inoperable vehicles; lower cost |
| Specialty trucks (e.g., crane carriers, mixers) | Flat Rack | Full structural visibility, secure lashing, protection from shifting |
| High-humidity destinations (e.g., Caribbean, Pacific Islands) | Flat Rack + Wax + Tarp Encapsulation | Maximized corrosion resistance |
5. Compliance & Documentation
All shipments must include:
– Bill of Lading (B/L)
– Certificate of Origin (China CO)
– Pre-shipment Inspection Report (PSI) per ISO 20718
– Vehicle Title & Export Clearance Certificate
– Wax Application Certificate (SLS-MEP-2026 compliant)
– IMDG Code declaration (if fuel tanks contain >10L residual)
6. Conclusion
For construction firms and fleet operators sourcing used trucks from China, RO-RO offers the optimal balance of speed and cost for drivable units, while Flat Rack provides superior protection for high-value or non-standard vehicles. Bulk Cargo remains a cost-effective option for non-running units but carries higher corrosion and handling risks.
Critical Success Factor: Implementation of standardized wax spraying per SLS-MEP-2026 is non-negotiable for preserving asset integrity during maritime transit. SEA LION International enforces this protocol across all export lanes from Shanghai, Guangzhou, and Qingdao.
