Application Method Full undercarriage, boom, dipper, hydraulic cylinders, joints, and hinges
Coverage Areas All ferrous metal surfaces, track links, pin/bushing zones, weld seams
Film Thickness 25–50 µm (verified by wet film gauge)
Drying Time 4–6 hours (ambient 25°C)
Salt Spray Resistance (ASTM B117) 500+ hours without red rust formation
Post-Transit Removal Biodegradable citrus-based solvent; non-abrasive wiping

Note: Wax treatment is mandatory for RO-RO and Bulk Cargo; recommended but optional for Flat Rack if tarpaulin-sealed.


5. Recommended Use Cases

Scenario Recommended Method Rationale
Export of 10+ operational units to EU RO-RO Fast turnaround, minimal handling, cost-effective at scale
Single non-operational unit, disassembled Bulk Cargo Lower cost; acceptable risk with proper cradling
High-value custom excavator (>40t, tall) 40′ Flat Rack + Tarpaulin Maximum structural security and corrosion control
Delivery to remote port (no RO-RO facility) Flat Rack Compatibility with standard container infrastructure

6. Operational Recommendations

  • Pre-Shipment Inspection: Verify hydraulic seals, battery isolation, fuel stabilization, and removal of perishables.
  • Lashing Compliance: Adhere to CSS Code (IMO) and DNV-ST-E373 for securing heavy machinery.
  • Documentation: Provide CI, PL, CoO, EQ Test Report, and Wax Application Certificate.
  • Insurance: All-risk marine policy covering corrosion damage (verify wax application as condition).

7. Conclusion

For shovel excavator exports from China, Flat Rack offers the highest protection and flexibility for high-value units, despite elevated costs. RO-RO remains optimal for rapid deployment of operational fleets to developed ports. Bulk Cargo is viable only for budget-sensitive, disassembled shipments with robust on-site reassembly capacity.

Wax-based anti-corrosion treatment is non-negotiable across all methods to prevent irreversible seawater degradation during transit.

SEA LION International recommends Flat Rack with full wax spray for mission-critical equipment and long-haul deliveries.
