This configuration supports a 30% improvement in fuel economy over legacy models using non-optimized transmissions and older engine calibrations.
4. Load Capacity & Structural Integrity
The HDE-8000R is structured for high dynamic loading and repetitive stress conditions:
- Maximum Digging Depth: 7,200 mm
- Bucket Capacity (HE): 3.8–4.5 m³ (adjustable based on material density)
- Swing Torque: 85 kN·m (hydraulic)
- Counterweight Mass: 8,200 kg (standard configuration)
Axle load distribution is engineered to maintain compliance with road transport regulations (when permitted) while maximizing traction and stability during operation. The rear-biased load (60/40 rear/front) ensures optimal push force during trenching and grading.

Shipping & Logistics Solutions

Industrial Specification Report 2026
Prepared for: Fleet Managers & Construction Companies
Subject: Logistics Solutions for Exporting R/C Excavators from China
Issuing Authority: SEA LION International – Engineering & Logistics Division
Date: April 5, 2026
1. Executive Summary
This report evaluates three primary maritime transport methods—RO-RO (Roll-on/Roll-off), Bulk Cargo, and Flat Rack shipping—for the export of remote-controlled (R/C) excavators from manufacturing hubs in China to global construction markets. Key criteria include cost-efficiency, equipment protection, transit time, and corrosion mitigation. A standardized wax-based anti-corrosion treatment is recommended for all shipment types to ensure integrity during ocean transit.
2. Equipment Profile: R/C Excavators
Remote-controlled excavators used in high-risk or precision environments require secure handling due to sensitive electronic control units (ECUs), hydraulic systems, and structural components. Typical unit specifications:
| Parameter | Value |
|---|---|
| Weight Range | 8,000 – 22,000 kg |
| Dimensions (L×W×H) | 9.5m × 3.2m × 3.0m (avg) |
| Control System | Wireless ECU, IP67-rated |
| Hydraulic Components | Sealed, corrosion-prone |
| Export Preparation | De-energized, fuel drained |
3. Comparative Shipping Methods
| Criteria | RO-RO Shipping | Bulk Cargo | Flat Rack Container |
|---|---|---|---|
| Loading Mechanism | Self-propelled or towed | Crane-lifted into hold | Secured on open-top frame |
| Cargo Protection | Moderate (exposed decks) | Low (shared hold space) | High (custom lashings) |
| Weather Exposure | High (partial cover) | Medium (interior hold) | High (open structure) |
| Transit Time (Asia → EU) | 28–35 days | 35–45 days | 30–40 days |
| Port Infrastructure | Requires RO-RO terminal | Standard bulk terminal | Container terminal |
| Cost (per unit, USD) | $3,200 – $4,000 | $2,600 – $3,400 | $4,500 – $6,000 |
| Risk of Damage | Medium (deck movement) | High (shifting, moisture) | Low (if properly secured) |
| Suitability for R/C Units | Moderate | Low | High |
4. Corrosion Protection: Wax Spraying Treatment
Salt-laden marine environments pose a severe risk to excavator undercarriages, hydraulic joints, and electrical housings. SEA LION International mandates the following anti-corrosion protocol for all export shipments:
4.1 Wax-Based Corrosion Inhibitor (C.I. Grade X7W)
- Composition: Solvent-free microcrystalline wax with volatile corrosion inhibitors (VCI)
- Application Method: High-pressure spray (12–15 bar), full undercarriage + joint coverage
- Thickness: 50–75 µm dry film
- Performance:
- Salt spray resistance: >1,000 hours (ASTM B117)
- Hydrophobic barrier: Prevents seawater adhesion
- Non-conductive: Safe for proximity to ECUs
4.2 Application Workflow
- Pre-treatment: Clean and dry all metal surfaces
- Mask sensitive sensors and exhaust ports
- Apply wax spray in controlled environment (15–25°C)
- Cure time: 4 hours minimum before loading
- Post-transit removal: Biodegradable citrus-based solvent
Note: Wax treatment is non-negotiable for all shipping modes and reduces post-arrival rework by up to 70%.
5. Recommendation by Use Case
| Customer Profile | Recommended Method | Rationale |
|---|---|---|
| High-volume fleet (10+ units) | RO-RO | Fast turnaround, lower handling cost, compatible with serial dispatch |
| Budget-focused project sites | Bulk Cargo (with wax) | Lowest cost; acceptable only with full wax protection and insurance |
| High-value or precision units | Flat Rack | Maximum control over securing, ideal for oversized or non-standard R/C models |
6. Compliance & Documentation
All shipments must adhere to:
– IMDG Code (for residual fuel/hydraulic fluid)
– CSS Code (Cargo Securing Manual compliant lashing)
– CIQ Export Clearance (China Inspection & Quarantine)
– Bill of Lading with “Heavy Machinery” endorsement
7. Conclusion
For optimal balance of cost, protection, and delivery speed, Flat Rack shipping with wax corrosion treatment is the preferred solution for high-integrity R/C excavator exports. RO-RO remains viable for rapid deployment of standard models, while Bulk Cargo is conditionally acceptable only under stringent protective protocols. SEA LION International enforces wax spraying as a baseline standard across all modalities to ensure equipment readiness upon arrival.
