Broderson IC-200-3J: transport dimensions, weight and how it ships overseas
At 7 ft 10 in (2.4 m) wide, the Broderson IC-200-3J is wider than a container door in one piece (7 ft 8 in / 2.34 m), so it ships whole on a 40 ft flat rack (1 ft 8 in / 0.5 m over height). RoRo is the alternative where a lane serves your port.

Every way to ship a Broderson IC-200-3J, best first
Cheapest first: the shipping cost ladder
We price every machine from the bottom rung up. A machine only moves up a rung when a measurement rules out the cheaper method.
Broderson IC-200-3J is 7 ft 10 in / 2.4 m wide, over the 7 ft 8 in / 2.34 m container door, so shipping it whole starts on the next rung up.
- Rung 1
Container
Lowest cost
When: Fits through a 7 ft 8 in / 2.34 m × 8 ft 6 in / 2.58 m door and under 59,500 lb / 27,000 kg, whole or after we take off the bucket, boom, cab or wheels.
- Rung 2
Flat rack
Mid cost
Best fit for Broderson IC-200-3J
When: Too wide or tall for a container door, but within 14 ft 9 in / 4.5 m wide, 13 ft 1 in / 4 m tall and 86,000 lb / 39,000 kg on one rack.
- Rung 3
RoRo
Mid cost
When: Drives or tows aboard, under 19 ft 8 in / 6 m tall and 110 US tons / 100,000 kg, going to a port with regular RoRo sailings.
- Rung 4
Breakbulk
Highest cost
When: Past flat-rack and roll-trailer limits, or shipped as modules lifted aboard piece by piece.
Worked out from the dimensions above against container, flat rack and RoRo limits. RoRo depends on a regular sailing to your port.
| # | Best method | Fit | Preparation |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 40 ft flat rackBest fit | Out-of-gauge | Ships assembled, blocked and lashed; out-of-gauge surcharge applies (1 ft 8 in / 0.5 m over height). |
| 2 | 40 ft high-cube container | After disassembly, across containers | Taken apart and loaded across one or more 40 ft containers, with open-tops for tall pieces: boom or crane off, counterweight off, and cab or ROPS removed and crated. We survey the machine first and quote this next to shipping it whole. How we containerize |
| 3 | RoRo | Where a RoRo lane serves the destination | Drives on assembled where a RoRo lane serves the destination. |
| 4 | Breakbulk | Fits as is | Lifted aboard by crane as breakbulk; used when no flat rack or RoRo option suits the port. |

Broderson IC-200-3J shipping questions
Does a Broderson IC-200-3J fit in a shipping container?
At 7 ft 10 in (2.4 m) wide, the Broderson IC-200-3J is wider than a container door in one piece (7 ft 8 in / 2.34 m), so it ships whole on a 40 ft flat rack (1 ft 8 in / 0.5 m over height). RoRo is the alternative where a lane serves your port. It can also be containerized after disassembly (boom or crane off, counterweight off, and cab or ROPS removed and crated), across one or more containers; we survey it first and quote both.
How much does a Broderson IC-200-3J weigh for shipping?
Broderson lists the Broderson IC-200-3J at 31,100 lb (14,110 kg) (gross vehicle weight); the bill of lading uses your machine's own weight.
What are the shipping dimensions of a Broderson IC-200-3J?
22 ft 10 in × 7 ft 10 in × 8 ft (6.96 × 2.4 × 2.45 m) (length × width × height) in transport position, from Broderson's published specifications for the Broderson IC-200-3J.
What has to come off a Broderson IC-200-3J to ship it?
To containerize it: boom or crane off, counterweight off, and cab or ROPS removed and crated. Our crew does the work, crates and labels every part, and loads the pieces across one or more containers, with documentation for reassembly. Shipped whole on a flat rack or RoRo, it needs little or no disassembly.
Can a Broderson IC-200-3J ship RoRo?
Yes, where a RoRo lane serves your destination port. It drives on under its own power. RoRo from the U.S. reaches fewer countries than containers and flat racks, so we check your port first.
