- Application Method: High-pressure spray (150–200 psi)
- Coverage Areas:
- Frame rails and crossmembers
- Suspension components
- Fuel and hydraulic tanks (external)
- Wheel hubs and brake assemblies
- Electrical grounding points
- Thickness: 50–75 μm dry film
- Curing Time: 24 hours pre-shipment at 20°C ambient
Note: Wax film remains effective for up to 12 months and is removable via industrial degreasing upon delivery.
4. Method Recommendation by Use Case
| Use Case | Recommended Method | Rationale |
|---|---|---|
| High-volume fleet delivery (10+ units) | RO-RO | Fast turnaround, low handling risk, cost-effective at scale |
| Budget-constrained project, inland port | Bulk Cargo | Lower freight cost; feasible if local reassembly capacity exists |
| High-spec or custom-configured units | Flat Rack | Maximum protection, traceability, and security during transit |
5. Operational Recommendations
- Pre-Shipment Inspection (PSI): Conduct ISO 9001-aligned verification prior to loading.
- Lashing & Securing: Use ISO-certified chains (Grade T) with 4-point restraint minimum.
- Desiccant Deployment: Place moisture-absorbing units in enclosed compartments.
- Documentation: Provide Bill of Lading, Packing List, COO (Certificate of Origin), and Corrosion Protection Certificate.
6. Conclusion
For fleet managers and construction firms sourcing transfer dump trucks from China, RO-RO shipping presents the optimal balance of speed, cost, and equipment integrity for operational units. Flat Rack is recommended for premium or customized configurations requiring enhanced protection. Bulk cargo remains a niche option where cost overrides time and reassembly logistics.
Mandatory wax-based anti-corrosion treatment is non-negotiable for all maritime exports to ensure equipment longevity and reduce post-delivery maintenance liabilities.
