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.

Wirtgen W 210 Fi shipping questions
Does a Wirtgen W 210 Fi fit in a shipping container?
At 42 ft 4 in (12.9 m) long, the Wirtgen W 210 Fi 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 (discharge conveyor folded or off and cab or ROPS removed and crated), across at least 2 containers by weight; we survey it first and quote both.
How much does a Wirtgen W 210 Fi weigh for shipping?
Wirtgen lists the Wirtgen W 210 Fi at 69,900 lb (31,700 kg) (shipping weight); the bill of lading uses your machine's own weight.
What are the shipping dimensions of a Wirtgen W 210 Fi?
42 ft 4 in × 8 ft 10 in × 9 ft 10 in (12.9 × 2.7 × 3 m) (length × width × height) in transport position, from Wirtgen's published specifications for the Wirtgen W 210 Fi.
What has to come off a Wirtgen W 210 Fi to ship it?
To containerize it: discharge conveyor folded or off and cab or ROPS removed and crated. 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 Wirtgen W 210 Fi 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.
