Industrial Specification Report 2026
Prepared by: SEA LION International
Subject: Logistics Solutions for Exporting Sino Howo 6×4 Dump Truck from China
Target Audience: Fleet Managers, Construction Companies, Procurement Officers
1. Executive Summary
This report outlines the comparative logistics methodologies for the international export of Sino Howo 6×4 Dump Trucks from manufacturing hubs in China (primarily Jinan, Shandong Province) to global construction markets. The evaluation focuses on three primary shipping methods: Roll-on/Roll-off (RO-RO), Bulk Cargo, and Flat Rack (Containerized). Key considerations include cost efficiency, transit time, equipment safety, and anti-corrosion protection, with specific emphasis on wax-based anti-seawater corrosion treatment for long-haul maritime transport.
2. Equipment Overview: Sino Howo 6×4 Dump Truck
| Parameter | Specification |
|---|---|
| Gross Vehicle Weight (GVW) | 49,000 kg |
| Dimensions (L×W×H) | 8,400 × 2,500 × 3,800 mm |
| Drive Configuration | 6×4 (Triple Axle, Rear Drive) |
| Engine Type | CNHTC WP10.5H400E52 (400 HP) |
| Fuel Capacity | 400 L |
| Transmission | 10-speed Manual |
| Tire Size | 12.00R20 Steel Radial |
| Pre-Shipment Weight | ~16,500 kg (Unladen) |
Note: Dimensions exceed standard 40’ HC container limits; disassembly not recommended due to structural and calibration integrity.
3. Shipping Method Comparison
| Criteria | RO-RO (Roll-on/Roll-off) | Bulk Cargo (Loose Stowage) | Flat Rack (40’ HC FR) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Loading Mechanism | Self-driven onto vessel | Crane-lifted, secured on deck/hatch | Crane-lifted onto open-frame container |
| Space Utilization | High (stacked decks) | Low to Moderate (variable stowage) | Moderate (single unit per FR) |
| Unit Protection | Moderate (exposed to salt spray) | Low (full exposure, risk of chafing) | High (wrapping & enclosure possible) |
| Transit Time (Shanghai → Middle East) | 18–22 days | 20–25 days | 22–26 days |
| Average Cost per Unit (USD) | $2,800 – $3,400 | $2,200 – $2,800 | $3,800 – $4,500 |
| Risk of Damage | Medium (vibration, moisture) | High (shifting, weather, impact) | Low (controlled lashings, wraps) |
| Port Infrastructure Needs | RO-RO terminal required | General cargo crane availability | Container crane & FR handling |
| Customs Clearance Speed | Fast (pre-inspected, roll-through) | Moderate | Fast (containerized documentation) |
| Best Suited For | Large fleets, direct port access | Cost-sensitive, non-urgent shipments | High-value, corrosion-sensitive units |
4. Anti-Corrosion Protection: Wax Spraying System
Marine environments pose a significant risk of galvanic and saltwater-induced corrosion on steel chassis, suspension components, and undercarriage systems during ocean transit (avg. salinity: 3.5%, RH >80%).
Recommended Corrosion Mitigation Protocol:
| Step | Procedure | Specification |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Pre-Shipment Cleaning | Degrease chassis, wheel arches, and frame rails |
| 2 | Wax-Based Coating Application | Solvent-free, hydrophobic corrosion-inhibiting wax spray (e.g., Dinitrol LS 400 or equivalent) |
| 3 | Coverage Areas | Full undercarriage, wheel wells, radiator support, exhaust mounts, suspension joints |
| 4 | Film Thickness | 80–120 µm (measured via DFT gauge) |
| 5 | Drying & Curing | 24-hour ambient cure pre-loading |
| 6 | Post-Discharge Removal | Biodegradable alkaline wash at destination |
Performance Data: Wax films reduce chloride ion penetration by up to 92% over 30-day salt fog exposure (ASTM B117). Compatible with RO-RO, Bulk, and Flat Rack methods—critical for all export modes.
5. Risk Assessment & Recommendations
| Risk Factor | RO-RO | Bulk Cargo | Flat Rack |
|---|---|---|---|
| Saltwater Corrosion | High | Very High | Medium |
| Structural Impact | Medium | High | Low |
| Weather Exposure | Medium | High | Low-Medium |
| Theft/Vandalism | Low | Medium | Low |
| Lashing Failure | Low | High | Medium |
Recommended Use Cases:
- RO-RO: Optimal for fleets of 10+ units shipping to RO-RO-equipped ports (e.g., Jebel Ali, Rotterdam). Balances cost and speed.
- Bulk Cargo: Only recommended for budget-constrained projects with robust post-arrival reconditioning capacity. Not advised for coastal or humid destinations.
- Flat Rack: Preferred for high-value or mission-critical units. Enables full encapsulation, wax retention, and ISO compliance. Ideal for remote or corrosive environments (e.g., West Africa, Southeast Asia).
6. Conclusion
For the reliable export of Sino Howo 6×4 Dump Trucks from China, Flat Rack shipping combined with industrial-grade wax spraying provides the highest integrity protection against seawater corrosion and mechanical damage. While RO-RO offers cost and speed advantages for volume shipments, Flat Rack is strongly recommended for fleet managers prioritizing long-term equipment durability and minimal post-delivery maintenance.
SEA LION International advises implementing mandatory pre-shipment wax protection across all transport modes, with documented DFT verification and compliance with ISO 9227 (corrosion testing standards).
