Issuing Authority: SEA LION International – Senior Engineering Division
Date: January 15, 2026
Executive Summary
This report evaluates three primary maritime transport methods—RO-RO (Roll-on/Roll-off), Bulk Cargo, and Flat Rack container shipping—for the export of used truck plows from China to global markets. The analysis focuses on operational efficiency, cost structure, cargo protection, and compatibility with corrosion mitigation measures such as wax spraying. Recommendations are tailored for fleet managers and construction firms sourcing heavy-duty used equipment.
1. Product Characteristics: Used Truck Plows
Used truck plows are steel-intensive, heavy, and dimensionally irregular. Key attributes include:
| Parameter | Specification |
|---|---|
| Average Weight per Unit | 800–1,500 kg |
| Dimensions (L×W×H) | 2.5m × 2.2m × 0.8m (avg.) |
| Material Composition | High-strength carbon steel |
| Corrosion Risk | High (exposed to road salts, moisture) |
| Handling Requirements | Forklift or crane for loading |
Due to exposure history and material composition, protective treatment prior to shipment is critical.
2. Corrosion Protection: Wax Spraying Protocol
To mitigate seawater-induced corrosion during ocean transit, SEA LION International mandates industrial-grade wax spraying for all used truck plows prior to shipment.
Wax Spraying Specifications:
| Parameter | Specification |
|---|---|
| Coating Type | Solvent-based anti-corrosion wax |
| Application Method | High-pressure spray (20–25 bar) |
| Coverage | Full undercarriage, blade edge, weld zones |
| Drying Time | 4–6 hours at 25°C |
| Protection Duration | Up to 90 days in marine environments |
| Compliance Standard | ISO 12944-6:2018 (C5-M category) |
Wax forms a hydrophobic barrier, preventing chloride ion penetration. This treatment is compatible with all three shipping modes but is most effective when combined with controlled environmental exposure during loading and storage.
3. Shipping Mode Comparison
The following table compares RO-RO, Bulk Cargo, and Flat Rack shipping for used truck plows:
| Criteria | RO-RO Shipping | Bulk Cargo Shipping | Flat Rack Container |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cargo Compatibility | High (self-propelled or towed) | Low (not designed for discrete units) | High (securely strapped) |
| Loading Method | Roll-on via ramp | Crane/forklift into hold | Forklift onto open platform |
| Securing Mechanism | Wheel chocks, lashing points | Stowed in pile (high risk) | Lashing belts, corner castings |
| Dimensional Flexibility | High | Very Low | Very High |
| Average Cost (per unit) | $1,100–$1,400 | $700–$900 (but high damage risk) | $1,300–$1,600 |
| Transit Time (Shanghai–Rotterdam) | 28–35 days | 30–40 days | 32–38 days |
| Damage Risk | Low (controlled environment) | High (shifting, moisture) | Low–Moderate (exposed top) |
| Port Infrastructure | Requires RO-RO terminal | Common bulk terminals | Standard container port |
| Wax Coating Effectiveness | High (enclosed vessel) | Low–Moderate (humidity exposure) | Moderate (top exposure to spray) |
| Best For | High-volume, operational units | Not recommended | Oversized or non-rollable units |
4. Technical Evaluation
4.1 RO-RO Shipping
