  • Full visibility and accessibility for inspection.
  • Compliant with ISO container handling systems.
  • Disadvantages:
  • Complete exposure to marine environment.
  • Requires precise lashing to prevent shift.
  • Higher per-unit cost due to low density.

3. Corrosion Protection: Wax Spraying System

All used trucks exported via maritime routes are subject to saltwater aerosol and high-humidity conditions, accelerating corrosion of undercarriages, chassis rails, and engine compartments.

Recommended Protocol: Industrial Wax Spraying (Anti-Corrosion Coating)

Specification Requirement
Coating Type Solvent-based, hydrophobic wax emulsion
Application Points Chassis, suspension, wheel wells, frame
Thickness (Dry Film) 80–120 µm
Salt Spray Resistance >1,000 hours (ASTM B117)
Application Method High-pressure spray, underbody coverage
Pre-treatment Degreasing, moisture removal
Validity (Unloaded) Up to 6 months in marine environment

Note: Wax treatment is mandatory for all Flat Rack and Bulk Cargo shipments. Strongly advised for RO-RO units stored on open decks.


4. Operational Recommendations

Factor RO-RO Bulk Cargo Flat Rack

Corrosion Risk Level Medium High Very High
Wax Protection Required Recommended Mandatory Mandatory
Handling Damage Risk Low High Medium
Cost Efficiency (per unit) High Medium Low

5. Conclusion

For fleet managers and construction firms exporting used trucks from China, RO-RO shipping offers the optimal balance of cost, speed, and protection for driveable units. Flat Rack containers are essential for non-standard or oversized vehicles, despite higher exposure risks. Bulk cargo is discouraged except for non-functional units where cost is the primary driver.

Universal implementation of industrial wax spraying is non-negotiable to mitigate seawater-induced corrosion, preserve resale value, and meet international delivery integrity standards.

SEA LION International advises pre-shipment inspection, ISO-compliant securing, and third-party logistics auditing to ensure compliance and performance across all transport modes.
