Verified against the manufacturer's published specifications (source, 2026-11-01). Final dimensions are the shipper's responsibility; confirm with the pickup site if unsure.

Oversize load, and what that means for your shipment. At 8 ft 8 in wide this machine exceeds the 8 ft 6 in legal limit on every route. Your rate includes the right trailer, permits and escorts (none expected), priced automatically, nothing added at pickup. Removing the attachment lets the base machine ride legal.

Before you book: what shippers ask

What trailer does a Caterpillar 920 need?

A lowboy or RGN. At 10 ft 3 in tall the machine sits at 11 ft 9 in on an RGN deck and 15 ft 3 in on a flatbed; the legal loaded height is 13 ft 6 in in the US and 13 ft 7 in in Canada.

Does a Caterpillar 920 need oversize permits?

Yes. 8 ft 8 in of travel width exceeds the 8 ft 6 in legal limit; the quote prices permits for every state or province crossed, escorts none expected, and files them for the carrier. Removing the attachment lets the base machine ride legal.

Can a Caterpillar 920 be loaded without a crane?

Yes when it starts and drives: it loads under its own power on the trailer's ramps. If it is inoperable, toggle starts-and-drives off in the form; winch loading is priced in, never added at pickup.

How should I prepare a Caterpillar 920 for pickup?

Empty the bucket or bed, fold and secure loose parts, note fluid leaks, and confirm the dimensions against the machine as it sits: debris, unfolded attachments or missing counterweights change weight and price.

What does it cost to ship a Caterpillar 920?

Distance and the trailer class drive the price once the dimensions are set. Enter pickup and drop-off below; the rate is free, bookable and locked for 30 days.

Starts and drives??Starting and driving are different things: the machine must start AND move under its own power onto the trailer. If it starts but cannot drive, answer No. Non-runners need a winch-equipped trailer (surcharge applies). Loading assistance is not included in any quote; the driver loads with the truck's own equipment only.
