| 5 | Coverage Areas | Undercarriage, boom telescopic joints, hydraulic cylinders, wheel hubs |
| 6 | Protection Duration | Up to 12 months (ISO 9223 Corrosivity Category C4) |
| 7 | Post-Transit Removal | Biodegradable citrus-based cleaner (non-abrasive) |
Compliance: Meets ASTM D1745 (Vapor Corrosion Inhibitors) and DIN 50017 (KFW Condensation Test).
4. Method Recommendation Matrix
| Use Case | Recommended Method | Rationale |
|---|---|---|
| High-Volume, Time-Sensitive Deliveries | RO-RO | Fast loading, minimal handling, operational readiness upon arrival |
| Budget-Constrained Projects, Non-Operational Units | Bulk Cargo | Lowest freight cost; acceptable risk with full disassembly |
| Premium Deliveries, Mixed Equipment Loads | Flat Rack | Maximum protection, compatibility with container logistics, secure lashings |
Critical Note: Wax spraying is mandatory for all methods. RO-RO and Flat Rack benefit most due to partial exposure.
5. Operational Recommendations
- Pre-Shipment Inspection (PSI): Conduct ISO 10472-compliant inspection including weld integrity, fluid levels, and battery isolation.
- Lashing Compliance: For Flat Rack, adhere to CSS Code (IMO) and TIR 51 for dynamic load simulation.
- Port Coordination: Confirm destination port RO-RO ramp capacity or flat rack discharge capability 30 days pre-ETD.
- Customs Clearance: Utilize bonded export from Chinese ports (e.g., Qingdao, Shanghai) with CIQ pre-clearance.
6. Conclusion
For HOWO Telescopic Crane exports, RO-RO shipping offers the optimal balance of cost, speed, and equipment readiness, particularly when combined with wax-based anti-corrosion treatment. Flat Rack is preferred for high-value or mixed shipments requiring containerized logistics. Bulk Cargo remains a cost-driven option but increases risk exposure and post-arrival reconditioning costs.
SEA LION International recommends a hybrid logistics strategy based on destination, volume, and client operational requirements, with universal implementation of wax spraying to ensure equipment integrity across all shipment types.
