Hyundai HX300L: transport dimensions, weight and how it ships overseas
At 72,700 lb (32,960 kg), the Hyundai HX300L is heavier than one container can carry, so it ships whole on a 40 ft flat rack (3 ft 3 in / 1 m over width, 4 ft 7 in / 1.4 m over height). RoRo is the alternative where a lane serves your port.

Every way to ship a Hyundai HX300L, 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 flat rackBest fit | Out-of-gauge | Ships assembled, blocked and lashed; out-of-gauge surcharge applies (3 ft 3 in / 1 m over width, 4 ft 7 in / 1.4 m over height). |
| 2 | 40 ft high-cube container | After disassembly, across containers | Taken apart and loaded across at least 2 40 ft containers by weight, with open-tops for tall pieces: bucket off, stick and boom folded or detached, counterweight off, cab or ROPS removed and crated, upper structure lifted off the undercarriage, and track chains and shoes off. 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. |

Hyundai HX300L shipping questions
Does a Hyundai HX300L fit in a shipping container?
At 72,700 lb (32,960 kg), the Hyundai HX300L is heavier than one container can carry, so it ships whole on a 40 ft flat rack (3 ft 3 in / 1 m over width, 4 ft 7 in / 1.4 m over height). RoRo is the alternative where a lane serves your port. It can also be containerized after disassembly (bucket off, stick and boom folded or detached, counterweight off, cab or ROPS removed and crated, upper structure lifted off the undercarriage, and track chains and shoes off), across at least 2 containers by weight; we survey it first and quote both.
How much does a Hyundai HX300L weigh for shipping?
Hyundai lists the Hyundai HX300L at 72,700 lb (32,960 kg) (operating weight); the bill of lading uses your machine's own weight.
What are the shipping dimensions of a Hyundai HX300L?
34 ft 9 in × 11 ft 2 in × 11 ft (10.59 × 3.4 × 3.35 m) (length × width × height) in transport position, from Hyundai's published specifications for the Hyundai HX300L.
What has to come off a Hyundai HX300L to ship it?
To containerize it: bucket off, stick and boom folded or detached, counterweight off, cab or ROPS removed and crated, upper structure lifted off the undercarriage, and track chains and shoes off. Our crew does the work, crates and labels every part, and loads the pieces across at least 2 containers, with documentation for reassembly. Shipped whole on a flat rack or RoRo, it needs little or no disassembly.
Can a Hyundai HX300L 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.
