Sandvik DT922i: transport dimensions, weight and how it ships overseas
At 49 ft 2 in (14.99 m) long, the Sandvik DT922i is longer than a 40 ft flat rack, so it ships whole RoRo where a lane serves your destination, or breakbulk where none does.

Every way to ship a Sandvik DT922i, best first
Cheapest first: the shipping cost ladder
We price every machine from the bottom rung up. A machine only moves up a rung when a measurement rules out the cheaper method.
Sandvik DT922i weighs 67,200 lb / 30,500 kg, over the 58,400 lb / 26,500 kg a 40 ft container carries, so shipping it whole starts on the next rung up.
- Rung 1
Container
Lowest cost
When: Fits through a 7 ft 8 in / 2.34 m × 8 ft 6 in / 2.58 m door and under 59,500 lb / 27,000 kg, whole or after we take off the bucket, boom, cab or wheels.
- Rung 2
Flat rack
Mid cost
When: Too wide or tall for a container door, but within 14 ft 9 in / 4.5 m wide, 13 ft 1 in / 4 m tall and 86,000 lb / 39,000 kg on one rack.
- Rung 3
RoRo
Mid cost
Best fit for Sandvik DT922i
When: Drives or tows aboard, under 19 ft 8 in / 6 m tall and 110 US tons / 100,000 kg, going to a port with regular RoRo sailings.
- Rung 4
Breakbulk
Highest cost
When: Past flat-rack and roll-trailer limits, or shipped as modules lifted aboard piece by piece.
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 2 40 ft containers by weight, with open-tops for tall pieces: mast lowered or 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 Sandvik DT922i for export

Sandvik DT922i shipping questions
Does a Sandvik DT922i fit in a shipping container?
At 49 ft 2 in (14.99 m) long, the Sandvik DT922i is longer than a 40 ft flat rack, so it ships whole RoRo where a lane serves your destination, or breakbulk where none does. It can also be containerized after disassembly (mast lowered or off, cab or ROPS removed and crated, and track chains and shoes off), across at least 2 containers by weight; we survey it first and quote both.
How much does a Sandvik DT922i weigh for shipping?
Sandvik Mining lists the Sandvik DT922i at 67,200 lb (30,500 kg) (operating weight); the bill of lading uses your machine's own weight.
What are the shipping dimensions of a Sandvik DT922i?
49 ft 2 in × 8 ft 2 in × 11 ft 9 in (14.99 × 2.5 × 3.59 m) (length × width × height) in transport position, from Sandvik Mining's published specifications for the Sandvik DT922i.
What has to come off a Sandvik DT922i to ship it?
To containerize it: mast lowered or 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 2 containers, with documentation for reassembly. Shipped whole on a flat rack or RoRo, it needs little or no disassembly.
Can a Sandvik DT922i 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.
