How each Dynapac model ships
Weights and transport dimensions come from the manufacturer's published specifications (linked under each model). The method is worked out from those dimensions against container, flat rack and RoRo limits, in the order we quote them.
| Model | Weight | L × W × H (transport) | Best method | Preparation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Dynapac CA2500DSingle-drum soil compactorSpec source | 22,700 lb (10,300 kg)operating weight | 19 ft 8 in × 7 ft 7 in × 9 ft 5 in (5.99 × 2.3 × 2.87 m) | 40 ft high-cube containerFits after partial disassembly | We handle the disassembly: cab or ROPS removed and crated. How we containerize |
Dimensions vary with shoes, tyres, buckets and options, so we confirm them on your machine before booking. Container limits used: 40 ft high-cube door 7 ft 8 in (2.34 m) wide and 8 ft 6 in (2.58 m) high, 39 ft 6 in (12.03 m) long inside.
Container, flat rack, RoRo or breakbulk?
We quote in this order because it is usually cheapest first. Most machines that look too big for a box fit once our crew takes off the bucket, boom, cab or wheels; larger ones are taken further apart across several containers, and pieces too big or heavy for a flat rack or roll trailer go breakbulk.
01Container
Best fit- Work needed
- We partially disassemble when needed (bucket, boom, cab, wheels), or take larger machines further apart across several high-cubes and open-tops, then crate, block and lash every part.
- Destinations
- Widest: almost every port worldwide, plus inland delivery by rail.
- Typical cost
- Usually the lowest, with no out-of-gauge surcharges.
- Protection
- Sealed steel box; loose parts and attachments travel locked inside.
- Best for
- Most machines: compact ones as they are, others after partial disassembly, and large ones split across several containers.
02Flat rack
- Work needed
- Ships assembled, blocked and lashed. Surcharges apply when wider than 2.4 m or taller than about 1.95 m.
- Destinations
- Most container ports, on the same vessels as containers.
- Typical cost
- Moderate; rises with every centimetre out of gauge.
- Protection
- Open to the weather; we protect cabs, electronics and hydraulics.
- Best for
- Excavators, dozers and loaders too wide for a container door.
03RoRo
- Work needed
- Drives on assembled; non-runners go on a roll trailer.
- Destinations
- Fewer destinations: regular lanes to Europe, West Africa, the Middle East, Oceania and parts of Latin America.
- Typical cost
- Often competitive for large self-propelled machines where a lane exists.
- Protection
- Below deck, but loose items and attachments cannot ride inside the cab.
- Best for
- Running machines going to a port with regular RoRo sailings.
04Breakbulk
- Work needed
- Lifted aboard piece by piece by ship’s or shore cranes, on its own skids or cradle, then stowed and lashed in the hold or on deck.
- Destinations
- Ports with breakbulk berths and heavy-lift cranes; sailings are booked voyage by voyage.
- Typical cost
- Usually the highest for a single small machine; often the only option for the largest pieces.
- Protection
- In the hold or lashed on deck; we crate, wrap and protect exposed parts.
- Best for
- Pieces too large or heavy for a flat rack or roll trailer: transformers, process modules, mining trucks, crane sections.
Preparing Dynapac machines for export
- Drums and frames are washed of soil and asphalt, the articulation lock fitted, and the cab or ROPS taken off where the height needs it.
- Batteries are disconnected and the machine is chocked and lashed through its tie-down points.
- In our loading records a Dynapac F1000W wheeled paver goes in a 40 ft open top plus a 40 ft high cube.
- A CA2500D is 7 ft 7 in (2.30 m) wide and 9 ft 5 in (2.87 m) high with the cab; with the cab or ROPS off it is 7 ft (2.13 m), low enough for a high cube.
Containerizing a machine means taking off the parts that stop it fitting, then crating, labelling and lashing them in the same box. See how we containerize heavy equipment

Dynapac shipping questions
Does a Dynapac CA2500 fit in a container?
The CA2500D is 19 ft 8 in (5.99 m) long and 7 ft 7 in (2.30 m) wide, which fits a 40 ft high cube. At 9 ft 5 in (2.87 m) with the cab it is too tall for the door, so the cab or ROPS comes off; Dynapac prints 7 ft (2.13 m) without it. We confirm the plan with photos of your machine before booking.
