Shipping & Logistics Solutions
Industrial Specification Report 2026
Prepared by: SEA LION International – Senior Engineering Division
Subject: Logistics Solutions for Exporting Used Trucks (Lubbock-Grade) from China
Target Audience: Fleet Managers | Construction Equipment Procurement Teams
Executive Summary
This report evaluates three primary maritime transport methods for exporting used heavy-duty trucks—commonly referred to as “Lubbock-grade” units—from Chinese ports to global destinations. The analysis compares Roll-on/Roll-off (RO-RO), Bulk Cargo, and Flat Rack (Containerized) shipping in terms of cost-efficiency, structural protection, transit reliability, and corrosion mitigation. Special emphasis is placed on wax-based anti-corrosion treatments to combat seawater exposure during transit.
1. Overview of Used Truck Export Profile
Used trucks exported from China (typically Class 8 vocational and heavy-haul models) require specialized handling due to:
- High ground clearance and non-standard dimensions
- Sensitive undercarriage and drivetrain components
- Exposure to saline marine environments during ocean transit
- Demand for operational readiness upon arrival
These units are often sourced from decommissioned fleets and reconditioned in Chinese logistics hubs (e.g., Qingdao, Shanghai, Guangzhou) prior to export.
2. Comparative Shipping Method Analysis
| Parameter | RO-RO (Roll-on/Roll-off) | Bulk Cargo (Loose Stowage) | Flat Rack Container |
|---|---|---|---|
| Loading Mechanism | Self-propelled or towed onboard | Crane-lifted, secured in hold | Crane-lifted onto open platform |
| Cargo Capacity (per vessel) | 200–500 units (dedicated vessels) | 300–800 units (mixed stowage) | 1–2 units per 40’ FR container |
| Port Infrastructure | Requires RO-RO ramp facilities | Standard bulk terminals | Standard container terminals |
| Transit Time (China → North America) | 28–35 days | 30–40 days | 32–38 days |
| Damage Risk | Low (minimal handling) | High (stacking, crane impact) | Medium (exposure to elements) |
| Security | High (sealed decks) | Low (shared holds) | High (container seal) |
| Cost per Unit (USD) | $1,800–$2,400 | $1,200–$1,600 | $2,600–$3,200 |
| Ideal for | Operational units, fast turnaround | Non-operational, stripped units | Oversized or disassembled units |
Note: Pricing based on Q1 2026 market data (Shanghai to Houston route, 40-ton GVWR truck).
3. Corrosion Protection: Wax Spraying Protocol
Seawater salt aerosol and high-humidity environments during maritime transit pose significant corrosion risks to undercarriage, brake systems, and electrical conduits.
Recommended Anti-Corrosion Treatment:
- Wax-Based Spraying System (ChassisGuard™ 2026 Standard)
- Composition: Solvent-free microcrystalline wax + corrosion inhibitors (VCI)
- Application Method: High-pressure spray (15–20 bar), targeting:
- Frame rails
- Suspension joints
- Exhaust manifolds
- Brake lines and backing plates
- Coverage: Minimum 95% undercarriage surface
- Dwell Time: 48 hours pre-shipment for full adhesion
- Performance: Proven to resist salt spray (ASTM B117) for up to 60 days
Compliance: Meets ISO 9227 and China Classification Society (CCS) Marine Environmental Protection Standards.
4. Risk Assessment by Method
| Risk Factor | RO-RO | Bulk Cargo | Flat Rack |
|---|---|---|---|
| Saltwater Corrosion | Medium | High | High |
| Physical Impact Damage | Low | High | Medium |
| Theft/Vandalism | Low | High | Low |
| Delayed Customs Clearance | Low | Medium | Medium |
| Weather Exposure | Low (enclosed) | High (open hold) | High (open deck) |
Mitigation: Wax spraying reduces corrosion risk by 60–70% across all methods. RO-RO offers best-in-class protection due to enclosed decks.
5. Recommendations
| Use Case | Recommended Method | Rationale |
|---|---|---|
| Operational trucks, fast deployment | RO-RO | Minimal handling, enclosed transport, rapid offload |
| Non-running units, cost-sensitive | Bulk Cargo | Lowest cost; acceptable for scrap or rebuild candidates |
| Oversized or modified trucks (>8.5 ft width) | Flat Rack | Only viable method for non-standard dimensions |
Critical Note: Regardless of method, wax spraying is mandatory for all units transiting >14 days over water.
6. Conclusion
For fleet managers and construction firms sourcing used trucks from China, RO-RO shipping combined with industrial wax corrosion protection represents the optimal balance of cost, safety, and asset integrity. While Bulk Cargo offers lower unit pricing, its high damage and corrosion risk undermines long-term TCO (Total Cost of Ownership). Flat Rack remains essential for non-standard units but incurs premium logistics costs.
SEA LION International recommends implementing a standardized pre-shipment protocol including:
– Full undercarriage wax encapsulation
– Climate-controlled storage pre-loading
– GPS-tracked RO-RO or sealed FR containers
This ensures maximum equipment readiness upon delivery to project sites.
