Hauling the 330
At 69,200 lb this machine travels on a lowboy behind a tractor, usually under an overweight permit. Loaded height is about 15 ft 1 in on a 60 in flatbed deck and 13 ft 5 in on a 40 in step deck. It is wider than 8 ft 6 in, so it needs an oversize permit. Check truck and container options.

Common questions
How much does the Caterpillar 330 weigh?
Operating weight: 69,200 lb (31,389 kg). Buckets, attachments and options add weight, so check the serial plate.
How big is the Caterpillar 330?
Transport length 34 ft 2 in, transport width 11 ft 2 in, transport height 10 ft 1 in.
What trailer do I need to haul a Caterpillar 330?
One with a payload rating above 69,200 lb plus the weight of any buckets and attachments. At 10 ft 1 in tall it needs a step deck or lowboy to stay under 13 ft 6 in.
Do I need a CDL to haul a Caterpillar 330?
For commercial hauling, almost certainly: a trailer rated over 10,000 lb towed by a truck whose GVWR brings the combined rating to 26,001 lb or more requires a Class A CDL (49 CFR 383.91). A 69,200 lb machine needs a trailer rated well over 10,000 lb.
