- Application Coverage: Full undercarriage, track links, cylinder rods, boom/shovel joints, radiator fins
- Film Thickness: 25–35 µm dry film
- Pre-Treatment: High-pressure wash, degrease, dry (≤ 40% RH ambient)
- Post-Treatment: Seal cab vents, cover air intakes, apply desiccant packs internally
Note: Wax film remains effective for up to 12 weeks at sea and is non-toxic, non-sticky, and removable with standard alkaline cleaners upon delivery.
5. Recommendations by Use Case
| Project Requirement | Recommended Method | Rationale |
|---|---|---|
| High-volume fleet delivery (10+ units) | Bulk Cargo | Lowest cost per unit; acceptable risk with wax protection |
| Premium or precision excavators | Flat Rack | Maximum protection; ideal for sensitive electronics and tight tolerances |
| Immediate site deployment | RO-RO | Fast turnaround; minimal reassembly; operational upon arrival |
| Coastal or tropical destinations | Flat Rack + Wax Spray | Enhanced corrosion defense in high-humidity zones |
6. Compliance & Standards
All shipments must adhere to:
– IMO CSS Code – Cargo Securing Manual compliance
– IMDG Code – For residual fuel and hydraulic fluids
– China Export Regulations (GB/T 27923-2011) – Pre-shipment inspection
– Destination Country Standards – e.g., EU CE marking, EPA Tier 4 for emissions
7. Conclusion
For optimal balance of cost and protection, Flat Rack shipping with wax-based corrosion treatment is recommended for high-value or long-haul exports of hoe excavators from China. RO-RO offers logistical efficiency for operational units, while Bulk Cargo remains viable for budget-driven, high-volume contracts where post-arrival refurbishment is acceptable. Implementing standardized wax spraying protocols across all methods significantly reduces field failure rates and extends equipment service life.
