Liebherr PR 746: transport dimensions, weight and how it ships overseas
At 9 ft 10 in (3 m) wide, the Liebherr PR 746 is wider than a container door in one piece (7 ft 8 in / 2.34 m), so it ships whole on a 40 ft flat rack (2 ft / 0.6 m over width, 4 ft 11 in / 1.49 m over height). RoRo is the alternative where a lane serves your port.

| 1 | 40 ft flat rackBest fit | Out-of-gauge | Ships assembled, blocked and lashed; out-of-gauge surcharge applies (2 ft / 0.6 m over width, 4 ft 11 in / 1.49 m over height). |
| 2 | 40 ft high-cube container | After disassembly, across containers | Taken apart and loaded across one or more 40 ft containers, with open-tops for tall pieces: blade off, ripper off, cab or ROPS removed and crated, and track chains and shoes off. We survey the machine first and quote this next to shipping it whole. How we containerize |

Preparing a Liebherr PR 746 for export
- Every module needs a lift drawing and weight; heaviest-piece weight decides the vessel.
- Australia and New Zealand reject machines with soil, seeds or plant material. We pressure-wash, open the belly pans and radiator cores, and book the pre-shipment cleaning inspection.
Liebherr PR 746 shipping questions
Does a Liebherr PR 746 fit in a shipping container?
At 9 ft 10 in (3 m) wide, the Liebherr PR 746 is wider than a container door in one piece (7 ft 8 in / 2.34 m), so it ships whole on a 40 ft flat rack (2 ft / 0.6 m over width, 4 ft 11 in / 1.49 m over height). RoRo is the alternative where a lane serves your port. It can also be containerized after disassembly (blade off, ripper off, cab or ROPS removed and crated, and track chains and shoes off), across one or more containers; we survey it first and quote both.
How much does a Liebherr PR 746 weigh for shipping?
Liebherr Mining lists the Liebherr PR 746 at 57,800 lb (26,240 kg) (operating weight); the bill of lading uses your machine's own weight.
What are the shipping dimensions of a Liebherr PR 746?
20 ft 1 in × 9 ft 10 in × 11 ft 3 in (6.12 × 3 × 3.44 m) (length × width × height) in transport position, from Liebherr Mining's published specifications for the Liebherr PR 746.
What has to come off a Liebherr PR 746 to ship it?
To containerize it: blade off, ripper off, cab or ROPS removed and crated, 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 Liebherr PR 746 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.
