Liebherr PR 766: transport dimensions, weight and how it ships overseas
At 59 US tons (53,460 kg), the Liebherr PR 766 is heavier than a 40 ft flat rack carries (about 86,000 lb / 39,000 kg), so it ships whole RoRo where a lane serves your destination, or breakbulk where none does.

Every way to ship a Liebherr PR 766, 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 | RoRoBest fit | Where a RoRo lane serves the destination | Drives on assembled where a RoRo lane serves the destination. |
| 2 | 40 ft high-cube container | After disassembly, across containers | Taken apart and loaded across at least 3 40 ft containers by weight, 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 |
| 3 | Breakbulk | Fits as is | Lifted aboard by crane as breakbulk; used when no flat rack or RoRo option suits the port. |

Preparing a Liebherr PR 766 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 766 shipping questions
Does a Liebherr PR 766 fit in a shipping container?
At 59 US tons (53,460 kg), the Liebherr PR 766 is heavier than a 40 ft flat rack carries (about 86,000 lb / 39,000 kg), so it ships whole RoRo where a lane serves your destination, or breakbulk where none does. It can also be containerized after disassembly (blade off, ripper off, cab or ROPS removed and crated, and track chains and shoes off), across at least 3 containers by weight; we survey it first and quote both.
How much does a Liebherr PR 766 weigh for shipping?
Liebherr Mining lists the Liebherr PR 766 at 59 US tons (53,460 kg) (operating weight); the bill of lading uses your machine's own weight.
What are the shipping dimensions of a Liebherr PR 766?
28 ft 8 in × 11 ft 2 in × 13 ft 1 in (8.73 × 3.4 × 3.99 m) (length × width × height) in transport position, from Liebherr Mining's published specifications for the Liebherr PR 766.
What has to come off a Liebherr PR 766 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 at least 3 containers, with documentation for reassembly. Shipped whole on a flat rack or RoRo, it needs little or no disassembly.
Can a Liebherr PR 766 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.
