Shipping & Logistics Solutions
Industrial Specification Report 2026
Prepared for Fleet Managers & Construction Companies
Subject: Logistics Solutions for Exporting “West Herr Used Trucks” from China
Executive Summary
This report evaluates three primary maritime transport methods—Roll-on/Roll-off (RO-RO), Bulk Cargo, and Flat Rack—for the export of used West Herr construction and heavy-duty trucks from China to global markets. Key performance indicators include cost efficiency, transit time, cargo protection, and corrosion mitigation. A standardized wax-spray anti-corrosion protocol is recommended for all shipment types to ensure asset integrity during ocean transit.
1. Shipment Method Comparison
| Parameter | RO-RO (Roll-on/Roll-off) | Bulk Cargo (Loose Stowage) | Flat Rack Container |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cargo Type Suitability | Ideal for operational trucks | Suitable for non-operational units | Best for oversized or damaged units |
| Loading/Unloading | Driven on/off vessel; fast | Crane-lifted; moderate speed | Crane-lifted; requires securing |
| Transit Time | 25–35 days (Asia to Middle East/Africa) | 30–40 days | 30–45 days |
| Cost per Unit (USD) | $1,800 – $2,400 | $1,500 – $2,000 | $2,800 – $3,600 |
| Damage Risk | Low (minimal handling) | Moderate (lifting hazards) | High (exposure, improper lashing) |
| Insurance Premium | Low | Moderate | High |
| Port Infrastructure | Requires RO-RO terminal | General cargo berth | Container terminal with heavy lift |
| Flexibility | Limited to drivable units | High (any condition) | High (any size/configuration) |
2. Corrosion Protection: Wax Spraying Protocol
Marine environments expose metallic surfaces to salt-laden air and condensation, accelerating corrosion during transit. To mitigate degradation of West Herr truck chassis, engines, and undercarriage components, SEA LION International mandates a wax-based anti-corrosion treatment prior to shipment.
Wax Spraying Specifications:
| Parameter | Requirement |
|---|---|
| Wax Type | Solvent-based, hydrophobic synthetic polymer |
| Application Method | High-pressure spray (15–20 bar) |
| Coverage Areas | Frame rails, suspension, fuel tanks, wheel hubs, brake components |
| Film Thickness | 25–35 µm (microns) |
| Curing Time | 4–6 hours at 20–25°C |
| Salt Spray Test | Pass 500-hour ASTM B117 |
This treatment forms a non-drying, self-healing barrier that repels moisture and inhibits electrochemical corrosion. The wax remains effective for up to 12 months post-application, covering both transit and inland storage phases.
3. Method-Specific Recommendations
RO-RO
- Best for: Fleet managers exporting multiple drivable units.
- Advantages: Fast turnaround, reduced mechanical stress, lower insurance.
- Limitations: Requires functional brakes, steering, and tires.
- Corrosion Note: Wax spray essential—exposed undercarriage still vulnerable during ballast water exposure.
Bulk Cargo
- Best for: Construction firms exporting non-operational or auction-grade trucks.
- Advantages: Lower cost, accommodates non-drivable units.
- Limitations: Higher risk of impact damage during loading.
- Corrosion Note: Full chassis waxing critical—cargo exposed on deck or hold.
Flat Rack
- Best for: Oversized configurations (e.g., crane trucks, extended chassis).
- Advantages: Accommodates non-standard dimensions.
- Limitations: High exposure to elements; requires tarping in addition to wax.
- Corrosion Note: Wax + waterproof tarping mandatory; inspect seals pre-loading.
4. Operational Workflow (China Export)
- Pre-shipment Inspection – Verify truck condition, fluids, battery isolation.
- Wax Spraying – Full undercarriage and vulnerable metal zones treated.
- Documentation – Title verification, export clearance, customs declaration.
- Transport to Port – Haul to designated terminal (RO-RO berth or container yard).
- Loading & Securing – Method-dependent; lashing reports archived.
- Voyage Monitoring – GPS tracking and humidity logging (if available).
5. Conclusion & Recommendations
For fleet managers prioritizing speed and unit integrity, RO-RO is the optimal solution—provided trucks are operational. Construction companies handling mixed-condition fleets may benefit from Bulk Cargo for cost-sensitive shipments. Flat Rack remains necessary for non-standard units but demands strict corrosion controls.
Universal Requirement: All West Herr used trucks must undergo industrial-grade wax spraying prior to ocean transport to mitigate seawater-induced corrosion and preserve resale value.
