Kobelco SK330-11: transport dimensions, weight and how it ships overseas
The Kobelco SK330-11 usually goes in 2 × 40 ft high cube, from our loading records for related models (Kobelco SK330LC III, Kobelco SK330LC IV, Kobelco SK330LC-5). Shipped whole, it goes on a 40 ft flat rack (2 ft 7 in / 0.79 m over width, 4 ft 1 in / 1.25 m over height), or RoRo where a lane serves your port.

Every way to ship a Kobelco SK330-11, best first
Loaded by Seaway
How we load the Kobelco SK330-11
Our loading records list earlier and sister models of the Kobelco SK330-11 (Kobelco SK330LC III, Kobelco SK330LC IV, Kobelco SK330LC-5). The usual plan is 2 × 40 ft high cube.
- 2 × 40 ft high cube
- Taken apart at the yard: boom, arm and bucket come off, sometimes the cab; the upper structure is lifted off the undercarriage and the pieces are loaded at an angle, the largest in the open top and the rest crated and lashed in the high cube. Larger machines are stripped further, down to the swing table.
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.

| 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. |

Preparing a Kobelco SK330-11 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 SK330-11 shipping questions
Does a Kobelco SK330-11 fit in a shipping container?
Not in one piece: at 80,000 lb (36,300 kg) it is heavier than one container carries. Taken apart, it goes in 2 × 40 ft high cube, the plan from our loading records.
How much does a Kobelco SK330-11 weigh for shipping?
Kobelco lists the Kobelco SK330-11 at 80,000 lb (36,300 kg) (operating weight); the bill of lading uses your machine's own weight.
What are the shipping dimensions of a Kobelco SK330-11?
37 ft 1 in × 10 ft 6 in × 10 ft 6 in (11.3 × 3.19 × 3.2 m) (length × width × height) in transport position, from Kobelco's published specifications for the Kobelco SK330-11.
What has to come off a Kobelco SK330-11 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 at least 2 containers, with documentation for reassembly. Shipped whole on a flat rack or RoRo, it needs little or no disassembly.
Can a Kobelco SK330-11 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.
