    Common questions

    How much does the Caterpillar 299D3 weigh?

    Operating weight: 11,464 lb (5,200 kg). Buckets, attachments and options add weight, so check the serial plate.

    How big is the Caterpillar 299D3?

    Length with bucket 12 ft 11 in, width 6 ft 4 in, height to top of cab 7 ft.

    What trailer do I need to haul a Caterpillar 299D3?

    One with a payload rating above 11,464 lb plus the weight of any buckets and attachments. At 7 ft tall it stays under 13 ft 6 in on a typical 60 in flatbed deck.

    Do I need a CDL to haul a Caterpillar 299D3?

    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 11,464 lb machine needs a trailer rated well over 10,000 lb.
