- Coverage Areas:
- Frame rails
- Suspension components
- Axles and wheel hubs
- Exhaust system
- Hydraulic cylinder housings
- Thickness: 80–120 µm dry film
- Performance:
- Salt spray resistance: >1,000 hrs (ASTM B117)
- Water displacement: Immediate
- Service life: 6–12 months (transit + storage)
4.3 Implementation Workflow
- Pre-treatment: High-pressure wash and degrease
- Blow-dry with compressed air (≤ 40°C)
- Apply wax spray in controlled environment (15–30°C, <75% RH)
- Post-application inspection via adhesion and coverage mapping
Note: Wax protection is mandatory for all shipping methods when exporting from high-humidity Chinese coastal ports.
5. Method Recommendation by Use Case
| Fleet Condition | Recommended Method | Justification |
|---|---|---|
| Operable trucks, minimal rust | RO-RO | Fastest transit, low handling risk, cost-effective |
| Non-operable or heavily damaged units | Flat Rack | Enables crane loading; full structural access for waxing and securing |
| High-volume, low-value units | Bulk Cargo | Lowest cost; suitable only with full wax protection and insurance coverage |
6. Operational Guidelines
- Pre-Shipment Inspection: Conduct SAE J2534-compliant diagnostics and structural integrity check
- Lashing Standards:
- RO-RO: 4-point wheel chocking + parking brake
- Flat Rack: 8-point lashing (DNVGL-ST-0378 compliant chains)
