Note: RO-RO is ideal for units capable of self-propulsion. Flat rack is mandatory for disassembled or over-dimensional models.
4. Corrosion Protection: Wax Spraying Protocol
Seawater exposure during transit (RH >80%, salt aerosol) accelerates corrosion on excavator undercarriages, boom pins, and hydraulic cylinder rods. Wax-based anti-corrosion sprays are the industry-standard preventive measure.
Recommended Wax Protection System:
- Product Type: Solvent-based, lanolin-enriched corrosion inhibitor (e.g., COSMO ILD 600, Fuchs Rustilo)
- Application Coverage:
- Undercarriage (track links, rollers, idlers)
- Boom, arm, and bucket pivot pins
- Hydraulic cylinder rods (pre-retraction)
- Exposed fasteners and welded joints
- Film Thickness: 25–40 µm (uniform coat)
- Curing Time: 4–6 hours at 20°C prior to shipment
- Removal: Biodegradable citrus-based cleaner at destination
Protection Efficacy (70-day voyage, tropical route):
| Condition | Unprotected Unit | Wax-Protected Unit |
|---|---|---|
| Surface Rust Formation | >85% of zones | <5% (isolated) |
| Hydraulic Pin Corrosion | Severe (pitting) | None observed |
| Track Link Degradation | Moderate to high | Minimal |
SEA LION Recommendation: Wax spraying is mandatory for all shipping modes. Apply at final staging yard in China, pre-loading. Include wax certification in shipping manifest.
5. Operational Recommendations
- RO-RO – Optimal for operational fleets where time-to-deployment is critical. Confirm vessel route includes direct port access at destination.
- Bulk Cargo – Suitable for large-volume shipments (≥10 units); requires robust cradling and desiccant use in hold.
- Flat Rack – Use for units with non-standard dimensions or damaged undercarriages. Ensure waterproof tarping over cab and engine compartment.
Critical Pre-shipment Checks:
– Fuel tank ≤1/4 full (RO-RO safety requirement)
– Battery disconnected and secured
– All openings (air intakes, exhaust) sealed with poly caps
– GPS tracker installed (optional, for fleet tracking)
6. Conclusion
For exporters of “Temu Excavator Review” units, RO-RO offers the best balance of speed and safety for operational machines, while Flat Rack remains essential for oversized or non-functional units. Bulk Cargo is cost-effective but increases handling risk. Regardless of method, industrial-grade wax spraying is non-negotiable to ensure equipment arrives in commission-ready condition. SEA LION International advises integrated logistics planning with certified corrosion protection to minimize field rework and warranty claims.
