4. Recommendations by Use Case
| Scenario | Recommended Method | Rationale |
|---|---|---|
| Fleet Purchase (20+ units) | RO-RO + Wax Treatment | Cost-effective; wax mitigates inherent corrosion risk |
| Single Unit / High-Value Configuration | Flat Rack + Full Wax | Maximum protection for telematics and premium finishes |
| Budget-Constrained Project, Low Risk | Bulk Cargo + Partial Wax | Lowest cost; acceptable for short-haul or dry-season routes |
| High-Humidity Routes (e.g., SE Asia) | Flat Rack Only | Superior moisture isolation outweighs cost premium |
5. Compliance & Certification
All shipments comply with:
– IMDG Code (2026 Edition) – For battery and fuel system safety
– CSS Code (IMO) – Stowage and securing of heavy equipment
– China Customs Export Classification: HS 8704.21.00 (Dump Trucks >16T GVW)
Pre-shipment inspections conducted per ISO 1496-4 for flat rack compatibility and Ro-Ro Safety Guidelines (BLU Code).
6. Conclusion
For the export of ‘Philadelphia Dump Truck’ units from China, Flat Rack shipping with full wax spraying is the optimal solution for preserving equipment integrity, particularly for corrosion-prone structural components and embedded electronics. RO-RO remains viable for large fleets when paired with rigorous wax protection protocols. Bulk cargo is discouraged except for short-duration, low-budget deployments.
SEA LION International recommends integrating wax spraying as a non-negotiable step in the pre-export preparation phase, regardless of shipping method.
