Dynapac CA2500D: transport dimensions, weight and how it ships overseas
The Dynapac CA2500D fits a 40 ft high-cube container after the partial disassembly our crew does: cab or ROPS removed and crated. We crate and label those parts and lash them in the same container, so it ships at container rates to almost any port.

Every way to ship a Dynapac CA2500D, 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.
Dynapac CA2500D fits a container once our crew takes a few parts off, still the cheapest way to ship it.
- Rung 1
Container
Lowest cost
Best fit for Dynapac CA2500D
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
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 high-cube containerBest fit | Fits after partial disassembly | We handle the disassembly: cab or ROPS removed and crated. How we containerize |
| 2 | 40 ft flat rack | Out-of-gauge | Ships assembled, blocked and lashed; out-of-gauge surcharge applies (3 ft / 0.92 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. |

What has to come off a Dynapac CA2500D to ship it?
