Shipped whole, it goes on a 40 ft flat rack (1 ft 6 in / 0.45 m over width, 3 ft 8 in / 1.11 m over height), or RoRo where a lane serves your port.

Every way to ship a Kobelco SK200-11, best first
Loaded by Seaway
How we load the Kobelco SK200-11
Our loading records list earlier and sister models of the Kobelco SK200-11 (Kobelco SK200LC-VI, Kobelco SK200LCI, Kobelco SK200SR). The usual plan is 1 × 40 ft high cube.
- 1 × 40 ft high cube
- Loads with the standard preparation: fluids checked, battery isolated, machine cleaned and lashed.
From our dismantling and loading records, checked July 2026. Your machine's year, attachments and options can change the boxes; we confirm before booking.
Our loading records come first. The rest is worked out from the dimensions above against container, flat rack and RoRo limits; RoRo depends on a regular sailing to your port.

Preparing a Kobelco SK200-11 for export
- Tier 4 Final and Stage V engines need ultra-low-sulfur diesel (15 ppm or less) and DEF. Where only high-sulfur diesel is sold, the after-treatment clogs, so check fuel quality or source a lower-tier export machine.
Kobelco SK200-11 shipping questions
Does a Kobelco SK200-11 fit in a shipping container?
Not in one piece: at 9 ft 4 in (2.85 m) wide it is wider than a 40 ft high-cube door (7 ft 8 in / 2.34 m). Taken apart, it goes in 1 × 40 ft high cube, the plan from our loading records.
How much does a Kobelco SK200-11 weigh for shipping?
Kobelco lists the Kobelco SK200-11 at 47,800 lb (21,700 kg) (operating weight); the bill of lading uses your machine's own weight.
What are the shipping dimensions of a Kobelco SK200-11?
31 ft 6 in × 9 ft 4 in × 10 ft (9.6 × 2.85 × 3.06 m) (length × width × height) in transport position, from Kobelco's published specifications for the Kobelco SK200-11.
What has to come off a Kobelco SK200-11 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 one or more containers, with documentation for reassembly. Shipped whole on a flat rack or RoRo, it needs little or no disassembly.
Can a Kobelco SK200-11 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.
