| Oversized or non-functional trucks | Flat Rack | Accommodates disassembled or damaged units; crane loading feasible |
| Markets with limited RO-RO infrastructure | Flat Rack | Containerized access to standard ports |
| Long-term storage en route or at destination | All methods + Wax Spray | Wax coating essential to prevent rust during idle periods |
5. Compliance & Certification
All shipments comply with:
– IMO International Convention for Safe Containers (CSC)
– IMDG Code (for fuel and residual fluids)
– Customs-Trade Partnership Against Terrorism (C-TPAT) standards (for select destinations)
– China Classification Society (CCS) pre-shipment inspection
Wax formulation meets REACH and RoHS compliance for environmental safety.
6. Conclusion
For fleet managers and construction logistics planners, RO-RO remains the optimal solution for exporting operational used trucks from China, offering scalability and cost efficiency.
