| Film Thickness | 25–35 µm |
| Temperature Range | -30°C to +90°C |
| Removability | Biodegradable citrus-based solvent |
| Compliance | ISO 12944-6 (C4 Marine) |
Note: Wax treatment adds $85–$120 per unit but reduces post-arrival reconditioning by up to 60%.
4. Method Recommendation by Use Case
| Client Profile | Recommended Method | Rationale |
|---|---|---|
| High-volume fleet (10+ units), drivable | RO-RO | Cost-effective, rapid loading, minimal rigging |
| Mixed-condition fleet, remote destination | Flat Rack | Maximum protection, compatibility with non-drivable units |
| Budget-sensitive, low-risk region | Bulk Cargo | Lowest base cost; acceptable for short transits with wax protection |
5. Operational Recommendations
- Pre-shipment Inspection: Conduct IVA-compliant diagnostics and fluid stabilization (fuel biocide, sealed hydraulics).
- Wax Application: Mandatory for all export shipments; apply within 24 hours of final wash.
- Lashing & Securing:
- RO-RO: Wheel chocks + 4-point chain lashing (min. 4,000 kg WLL)
- Flat Rack: Twist lock engagement + diagonal tension straps
- Documentation: Provide Bill of Lading, Pre-shipment Inspection (PSI) report, and wax treatment certificate.
6. Conclusion
For the export of Schneider used trucks from China, RO-RO shipping offers optimal efficiency for drivable fleets, while Flat Rack containers provide superior protection for high-value or non-operational units. Bulk cargo remains a cost-driven option but demands rigorous anti-corrosion treatment.
Wax spraying is a critical mitigation measure against marine corrosion and is strongly advised for all shipment types to ensure equipment integrity and reduce post-import maintenance costs. SEA LION International recommends integrating wax protection into standard export protocols for all heavy equipment shipments.
