Case 845B: transport dimensions, weight and how it ships overseas

The Case 845B fits a 40 ft high-cube container after the partial disassembly our crew does: cab or ROPS removed and crated, moldboard off, and wheels off. We crate and label those parts and lash them in the same container, so it ships at container rates to almost any port.

Transport length: 29 ft 5 in / 8.96 m
Transport width: 8 ft 2 in / 2.5 m
Transport height: 11 ft 2 in / 3.4 m
Weight: 34,000 lb / 15,425 kg

Every way to ship a Case 845B, best first

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 high-cube containerBest fit	Fits after partial disassembly	We handle the disassembly: cab or ROPS removed and crated, moldboard off, and wheels off. How we containerize
2	40 ft flat rack	Out-of-gauge	Ships assembled, blocked and lashed; out-of-gauge surcharge applies (4 in / 0.1 m over width, 4 ft 9 in / 1.45 m over height).
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.
