Fuel Efficiency Analysis

Fuel consumption is evaluated under mixed operational profiles typical in construction logistics:

Operating Condition Avg. Fuel Consumption (WD615 + HW19710) Notes
Highway (Loaded, 80 km/h) 28–32 L/100 km Aerodynamic drag minimized; optimal gear mapping
On-Site Hauling (Loaded) 35–42 L/100 km Frequent idle, low-speed torque demand
Empty Return 22–26 L/100 km Reduced rolling resistance
Composite Average 30–36 L/100 km Dependent on driver behavior, terrain, and maintenance

Key Efficiency Factors:
Engine Calibration: The WD615’s Bosch HP common rail system enables precise fuel metering; remapped ECUs in used units may affect economy.
Transmission Matching: HW19710’s wide ratio spread allows engine to stay in peak efficiency band (1,400–1,600 rpm).
Tire Rolling Resistance: 12.00R20 tires with high tread depth increase RR by ~8% vs. low-rolling-resistance variants.


Load Capacity & Structural Integrity

Metric Value Application Relevance
Max Payload Capacity 38,000 – 42,000 kg Suitable for aggregate, sand, quarry rock

Stackability Limited (non-standard shapes)
Corrosion Risk High (exposed fasteners, internal cavities)
Handling Method Forklift, pallet jack

3. SHIPPING METHOD COMPARISON

Criteria RO-RO (Roll-on/Roll-off) Bulk Cargo Flat Rack Container
Cargo Compatibility Low – Toolboxes not vehicle-mounted; inefficient use of deck space Medium – Can be palletized and stacked loosely High – Secure lashing on open platform; ideal for irregular loads
Loading/Unloading Vehicle-based roll-on; not suitable for loose toolboxes Manual or crane-assisted; risk of damage Forklift-compatible; secure lashing points
Protection from Elements Minimal – Exposed to salt spray, humidity Poor – Direct exposure unless wrapped Moderate – Can be shrink-wrapped and sealed
Theft & Damage Risk High – Open decks, shared vehicle decks High – Loose stowage, shifting cargo Low – Secured, monitored, containerized
Transit Time (China → EU/US) 28–35 days (port congestion common) 30–40 days (dependent on laycan) 26–32 days (scheduled container services)
Average Cost (per unit) $48–$65 (low efficiency for small units) $38–$52 (economies of scale possible) $55–$70 (higher but predictable)
Scalability Poor – Designed for rolling stock High – Suitable for large volume High – Modular, stackable units
Customs Processing Moderate – Requires vehicle documentation Complex – Requires detailed stowage plans Streamlined – Standard container clearance
Recommended Use Case Not recommended For high-volume, low-value shipments with wax protection Preferred for quality assurance and mixed loads

4. CORROSION MITIGATION: WAX SPRAYING PROTOCOL

Seawater exposure during transit poses a critical risk to ferrous components in used toolboxes. SEA LION International recommends industrial-grade wax-based anti-corrosion treatment as a mandatory pre-shipment step.

4.1 Wax Spraying Specifications

Parameter Requirement
Wax Type Solvent-free, hydrophobic microcrystalline wax
Application Method High-pressure spray (20–30 psi)
Coverage Internal cavities, hinges, fasteners, weld seams
Film Thickness 25–40 µm (uniform coat)
Drying Time 4–6 hours (ambient, 25°C, 60% RH)
Salt Spray Resistance (ASTM B117) >500 hours (no red rust)
Post-Treatment Handling Allow 24h cure before packing

4.2 Application Workflow

  1. Degrease & Dry: Remove oil, dirt, and moisture via compressed air and solvent wipe.
  2. Masking: Protect locks and rubber seals if required.
  3. Spray Application: Use automated or handheld nozzles to coat all metal surfaces.
  4. Curing: Store in climate-controlled area until shipment.
  5. Secondary Protection: Wrap in VCI (Vapor Corrosion Inhibitor) paper before lashing.

5. RECOMMENDATIONS

  • Optimal Method: Flat Rack Containers with wax spraying and VCI wrapping provide the highest integrity for used truck toolboxes.
  • Volume Alternative: For consignments >500 units, Bulk Cargo may be cost-effective only if wax treatment and unit palletization are strictly enforced.
  • RO-RO: Not advised due to incompatibility and poor asset utilization.
  • Quality Assurance: Implement pre-shipment inspection with corrosion checklists and wax adhesion testing.

6. CONCLUSION

For fleet managers and construction firms importing used truck toolboxes from China, Flat Rack container shipping combined with industrial wax corrosion protection offers the optimal balance of security, traceability, and component longevity. SEA LION International supports end-to-end logistics packages including on-site wax application, container lashing certification, and customs compliance across major Chinese export ports (Shanghai, Ningbo, Shenzhen).
