New York Oversize and Overweight Permits
GET TO WORK WITH A DEDICATED EXPERT
Nationwide Transport offers reliable permit acquisition services in New York. Navigating an oversized load through New York presents unique challenges, from the dense urban landscapes of New York City to the scenic but narrow routes of the Adirondacks. The state is renowned for its diverse industries, financial hubs, manufacturing, agriculture, and energy sectors. We serve a variety of industries, from transporting high-tech equipment through bustling commercial centers to moving agricultural machinery across upstate farmlands. In addition to permit services, we also offer complimentary services such as hauling and pilot car escort. New York's transportation network comprises a mix of high-traffic highways, such as I-87 and I-90, rural roads, and city streets that require careful coordination for oversized loads. Major urban areas, such as New York City and Buffalo, impose additional regulations due to limited clearance, frequent construction, and high traffic volumes. Upstate areas with agricultural or energy transport may need additional clearances for bridge crossings, rail intersections, or seasonal road conditions.

When Does a Load Require Permits in New York?
New York Oversize and Overweight Load Limits
To safely move an oversized load through New York, compliance with these legal limits is essential: The legal load limits are:
- Length: Trailers up to 53 feet on designated highways
- Width: 8 feet 6 inches
- Height: 13 feet 6 inches
- Gross Vehicle Weight (GVW): 80,000 pounds
When a load exceeds these dimensions and weight, it must be accompanied by the necessary permits to travel through public roads.

Determining if a Load Exceeds New York's Legal Limits
How Do You Accurately Measure the Dimensions and Weight Of Your Load?
Accurate measurements are crucial for obtaining the correct permits and ensuring a smooth, safe transportation across New York's varied terrain.
- Length: Position the vehicle on level ground and measure from the front of the vehicle to the end of the load, carefully including any overhangs that may affect clearances.
- Width: Measure the load's widest point for width, taking into account any parts that extend beyond the trailer's sides.
- Height: should be measured from the ground to the highest point of the load once it is fully secured on the trailer, considering both the trailer and cargo heights to avoid any issues with bridge or tunnel clearances.
- Weight: Weighing the entire load is crucial; using a certified truck scale to get an accurate total weight for the vehicle and cargo ensures the load is evenly distributed across axles to meet safety and compliance standards.
