How To Avoid Construction Machinery Rusty Issue When Transport At Ocean ?

As is well known, the primary cause of rust in trucks during transportation is corrosion from seawater and humid air. Seawater contains a high concentration of salt, which readily leads to oxidation and corrosion of metal materials. During transportation, with moist air and strong wind and waves, vehicles are subjected to external forces such as vibration and friction—all of which contribute to rust formation on truck surfaces. This article will demonstrate how BLAZERS effectively prevents truck rust.

1. Spray Anti-Corrosion Wax.

Applying anti-corrosion materials, such as rust-preventive wax, as a coating on vehicle surfaces can effectively prevent rust. These measures effectively isolate the vehicle surface from the external environment, thereby reducing the likelihood of corrosion.

 

2. Cover with waterproof canvas

Occasionally, vehicles cannot be placed inside the ship's cargo hold and must instead be stationed on the deck. In such cases, merely spraying rust-preventive wax is insufficient to meet rust protection requirements. Therefore, we add a waterproof canvas cover over the vehicle. This cover is thick, durable, and resistant to tearing, capable of completely enclosing the entire truck and thereby isolating it from seawater and humid air.

 

 

3. Place the vehicle inside the ship's cargo hold

By storing the construction machinery inside the ship, the equipment can be isolated from humid air and seawater. Although this transportation method incurs higher costs, it is highly effective in preventing rust. We consistently recommend this rust-prevention approach to our clients.
