| Coverage Areas | Frame rails, suspension, brake lines, wheel hubs, exhaust system |
| Film Thickness | 25–35 μm (measured via DFT gauge) |
| Curing Time | 4–6 hours (ambient 25°C) |
| Compliance Standard | ISO 12944-6 (C5-M Marine Environment) |
3.2 Application Workflow
- Pre-treatment: High-pressure freshwater rinse to remove debris.
- Degreasing: Alkaline cleaner (pH 10–11), followed by drying.
- Wax Application: Automated spray booth or mobile unit at staging yard.
- Quality Check: Visual and DFT inspection; non-conforming units reprocessed.
- Documentation: Coating certificate issued per consignment.
Cost Impact: +$65–$85 per truck. Reduces post-arrival reconditioning by up to 40%.
4. Recommendation Matrix
| Use Case | Recommended Method | Rationale |
|---|---|---|
| High-volume export of operational trucks | RO-RO | Fast loading, lower total cost, immediate deployment |
| Mixed-condition or non-running units | Flat Rack | Full protection, secure stowage, global reach |
| Budget-sensitive, low-value units | Bulk Cargo | Only if wax-protected and fully insured; high risk |
5. Conclusion
For fleet managers and construction firms exporting machens used trucks from China, RO-RO shipping represents the optimal balance of cost, speed, and vehicle readiness—provided units are operational and corrosion-protected. Flat Rack is superior for damaged or non-functional units requiring maximum security. Bulk Cargo is discouraged unless cost constraints override risk exposure.
Mandatory Implementation: All shipments must include ISO-compliant wax spraying to ensure structural integrity and compliance with international asset delivery standards.
