Before you book: what shippers ask

What trailer does a Caterpillar TH408D Ag Handler need?

Flatbed, Step deck or a lowboy or RGN. At 8 ft 1 in tall the machine sits at 9 ft 7 in on an RGN deck and 13 ft 1 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 TH408D Ag Handler need oversize permits?

No. At 3 ft 0 in travel width and 18,797 lbs it rides legal on the right deck; no permits, escorts or oversize surcharges are expected.

Can a Caterpillar TH408D Ag Handler 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 TH408D Ag Handler 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.
