- Self-healing properties under minor abrasion
- Compatible with pre-painted and galvanized surfaces
- No interference with electronic control modules
Compliance: Meets ISO 9227:2017 and NORSOK M-501 standards for offshore exposure.
4. Recommended Logistics Strategy
| Scenario | Recommended Method | Rationale |
|---|---|---|
| High-volume delivery to Southeast Asia | RO-RO | Cost-effective, rapid turnaround, low damage rate |
| Single-unit delivery to remote African port | Flat Rack | Flexibility in routing; compatible with multi-modal last-mile |
| Mixed cargo (trucks + spare parts) | Bulk Cargo | Optimized vessel space utilization |
5. Conclusion
For fleet managers and construction logistics planners, RO-RO shipping offers the optimal balance of cost, speed, and equipment safety for serial exports of the Mega Bloks Cat Dump Truck from China. Flat Rack remains viable for low-volume or oversized configurations, while Bulk Cargo is conditionally suitable for consolidated project shipments.
Critical Success Factor: Implementation of standardized wax spraying protocols is non-negotiable for preserving equipment integrity across all shipping modes. SEA LION International enforces pre-shipment anti-corrosion audits at origin ports.
