Every way to ship a Komatsu D41E-6, best first
Loaded by Seaway
How we load the Komatsu D41E-6
We have dismantled and loaded the Komatsu D41E-6 for export before. It goes in 1 × 40 ft high cube.
- 1 × 40 ft high cube
- Before loading: cab or ROPS removed and crated, blade off, driven into the box.
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 Komatsu D41E-6 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.
- Telematics (such as Cat Product Link, Komtrax or JDLink) may stop working abroad; the dealer can transfer or end the subscription before export.
- HD785 and larger rigid trucks ship with the dump body off; RoRo works where a lane exists, otherwise breakbulk.
Komatsu D41E-6 shipping questions
Does a Komatsu D41E-6 fit in a shipping container?
Not in one piece: at 9 ft 6 in (2.9 m) high it is taller than a 40 ft high-cube door (8 ft 6 in / 2.58 m). Taken apart, it goes in 1 × 40 ft high cube, the plan from our loading records.
How much does a Komatsu D41E-6 weigh for shipping?
Komatsu lists the Komatsu D41E-6 at 25,100 lb (11,380 kg) (operating weight); the bill of lading uses your machine's own weight.
What are the shipping dimensions of a Komatsu D41E-6?
16 ft × 7 ft 7 in × 9 ft 6 in (4.88 × 2.3 × 2.9 m) (length × width × height) in transport position, from Komatsu's published specifications for the Komatsu D41E-6.
What has to come off a Komatsu D41E-6 to ship it?
For 1 × 40 ft high cube: cab or ROPS removed and crated, blade off, and driven into the box. Our crew does the work, crates and labels the loose parts and documents everything for reassembly.
Can a Komatsu D41E-6 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.
