Issuing Authority: SEA LION International Trade Co., Ltd. (Senior Engineering Division)
Date: 15 October 2026
1. Executive Overview: Power Wheeled Excavator Platform
SEA LION International presents the Power Wheeled Excavator (PWE) series as a critical productivity asset for demanding operations across Mining, Logistics Yard Management, and Infrastructure Construction. Distinct from conventional tracked excavators, the PWE platform integrates high-mobility wheeled chassis with robust hydraulic excavation systems, delivering optimized performance for applications requiring rapid site repositioning, reduced ground disturbance, and versatile material handling on prepared surfaces.
This platform excels in scenarios demanding:
* High-Mobility Material Handling: Efficient loading/unloading in logistics hubs (ports, rail yards, distribution centers) and stockpile management in mining overburden removal.
* Urban & Confined Space Construction: Precise trenching, foundation work, and utility installation where minimal site footprint and quick relocation between urban job sites are paramount.
* Light-to-Medium Mining Support: Drilling support, pit dewatering, access road maintenance, and secondary破碎 operations where track systems incur excessive wear or transport costs.
2. Regional Market Preference: Africa, Russia, Southeast Asia
The PWE series demonstrates significant operational and economic advantages in the target regions, driven by specific environmental, infrastructural, and operational constraints. SEA LION’s 18+ years of heavy equipment export experience, coupled with our authorized distribution network (SINOTRUK, SHACMAN, XCMG) and integrated refurbishment/logistics services, directly addresses these regional pain points.
| Regional Market | Primary Drivers for PWE Preference | SEA LION Value Proposition |
|---|---|---|
| Africa | Limited paved infrastructure; need for rapid relocation between remote sites; high ambient temps; requirement for extreme durability & simplified maintenance; cost sensitivity. | Refurbished Fleet Quality: Rigorously rebuilt units meeting OEM specs. Parts Availability: Strategic regional spares hubs (Johannesburg, Lagos) for XCMG/SINOTRUK components. RO-RO Logistics: Direct vessel access to major ports minimizing inland transit damage. |
| Russia | Severe cold-weather operation (-40°C); vast distances between sites; frozen ground conditions; need for reliable mobility on snow/ice; compliance with GOST standards. | Cold-Start Systems: Integrated engine pre-heaters & hydraulic fluid management. GOST-Certified Refurb: Full compliance validation. Containerized Logistics: Year-round delivery via rail/sea corridors to Siberian/Far East sites. |
| Southeast Asia | High humidity/tropical conditions; mixed terrain (urban/construction zones); frequent monsoon impacts; demand for multi-functionality (excavation, lifting, grading). | Corrosion-Resistant Coatings: Enhanced undercarriage & hydraulic protection. Multi-Attachment Support: Streamlined integration for augers, breakers, grapples via SHACMAN/XCMG interfaces. Containerized Parts Supply: Rapid replenishment via major hubs (Singapore, Jakarta). |
3. Core Advantages Driving Adoption
- Operational Efficiency: 20-30% faster cycle times between work zones compared to tracked equivalents, directly increasing billable hours in logistics and construction.
- Reduced Operational Costs: Lower fuel consumption (15-25% vs. comparable tracked units), minimized tire wear on paved surfaces, and avoidance of track replacement costs.
- Enhanced Utilization: Dual functionality as an excavator and a mobile material handler (with appropriate attachments) maximizes asset ROI for fleet managers.
- SEA LION Integration: Seamless compatibility with our global logistics network (RO-RO/Container) ensures timely deployment. Our professional refurbishment program guarantees reliability, while direct access to OEM spare parts (SINOTRUK, SHACMAN, XCMG) drastically reduces downtime – a critical factor in remote operations.

Shipping & Logistics Solutions

Industrial Specification Report 2026
Prepared by: SEA LION International
Subject: Logistics Solutions for Exporting Power Wheel Excavators from China
Target Audience: Fleet Managers & Construction Companies
Executive Summary
This report evaluates three primary maritime shipping methods—Roll-on/Roll-off (RO-RO), Bulk Cargo, and Flat Rack—for the export of power wheel excavators from manufacturing hubs in China (e.g., Qingdao, Shanghai, Xiamen) to global project sites. The analysis focuses on cost efficiency, equipment integrity, transit time, and corrosion protection, with specific emphasis on wax-based anti-corrosion treatments to mitigate seawater exposure.
Equipment Profile: Power Wheel Excavator
| Parameter | Specification |
|---|---|
| Operating Weight | 18,000 – 30,000 kg |
| Dimensions (L×W×H) | 9.5 m × 3.2 m × 3.6 m (avg.) |
| Drive Type | Hydraulic, 4WD |
| Undercarriage Material | High-tensile steel with rubber tracks |
| Export Condition | Operational, pre-commissioned |
Comparative Shipping Method Analysis
| Criteria | RO-RO Shipping | Bulk Cargo Shipping | Flat Rack Container Shipping |
|---|---|---|---|
| Loading Mechanism | Self-propelled or towed on/off vessel | Craned into hold; stacked loosely | Craned onto open-frame container |
| Cargo Protection | Moderate (exposed decks) | Low (no structural enclosure) | High (secured, weather cover optional) |
| Corrosion Risk | High (direct salt spray exposure) | Very High (unprotected stowage) | Moderate (with wax + tarp protection) |
| Transit Time | Fast (direct port-to-port) | Variable (depends on consolidation) | Moderate (subject to container ops) |
| Port Infrastructure | Requires RO-RO terminal | Standard bulk terminal | Standard container terminal |
| Insurance Cost | Medium | High | Medium to Low |
| Cost per Unit (USD) | $1,800 – $2,500 | $1,200 – $1,800 | $2,600 – $3,400 |
| Best Suited For | Operational units, short-medium haul | Non-operational, disassembled units | High-value, corrosion-sensitive units |
Corrosion Protection: Wax Spraying Protocol
Due to prolonged exposure to marine atmospheres and potential saltwater ingress during transit, wax-based anti-corrosion treatment is strongly recommended for all power wheel excavators prior to shipment.
Wax Spraying Specifications:
| Parameter | Requirement |
|---|---|
| Coating Type | Solvent-based anti-corrosion wax (e.g., Cosmoline-type) |
| Application Method | High-pressure spray (minimum 30 psi) |
| Coverage Areas | Undercarriage, hydraulic cylinders, track links, exposed welds, chassis cavities |
| Film Thickness | 75 – 100 µm (uniform layer) |
| Drying Time | 24 hours (pre-shipment) |
| Removal Process | Biodegradable solvent wash post-delivery |
| Compliance Standard | ISO 9227 (Salt Spray Test certified) |
Note: Wax treatment reduces salt-induced corrosion by up to 85% during 30–45 day sea voyages. Mandatory for Bulk and RO-RO shipments; recommended for Flat Rack when destination is high-humidity or coastal.
Recommendations by Use Case
| Scenario | Recommended Method | Rationale |
|---|---|---|
| High-volume fleet delivery (50+ units) | RO-RO | Fast turnaround, minimal handling damage, operational upon arrival |
| Disassembled or non-functional units | Bulk Cargo | Lower cost; suitable for reassembly at destination |
| Premium units to tropical/coastal regions | Flat Rack + Wax Spray | Maximum protection, controlled environment, reduced corrosion risk |
| Time-sensitive project deployment | RO-RO | Direct loading, minimal port delays |
Risk Mitigation Strategy
- Pre-shipment Inspection: Verify hydraulic seals, track tension, and battery isolation.
- Wax Application Audit: Third-party verification of spray coverage and thickness.
- Lashing & Securing: Use ISO-certified chains (min. 4-point tie-down for Flat Rack).
- Environmental Monitoring: Desiccant packs in control cabs; humidity tags in packaging.
Conclusion
For optimal balance of cost, protection, and delivery speed, Flat Rack with wax-based corrosion protection is the preferred solution for high-value power wheel excavators destined for corrosive environments. RO-RO remains efficient for functional fleets to RO-RO-capable ports, while Bulk Cargo is viable only for cost-driven, non-critical shipments with post-arrival refurbishment plans.
All export consignments should integrate wax spraying as a standard anti-corrosion measure, regardless of shipping mode.
