Double Drop Conestogae for Oversize Freight

What Is Oversize Freight?

When a freight load exceeds defined limitations, it is referred to as oversize freight, oversize load, or heavy haul. Shipping oversize freight requires specialized logistics since special equipment and careful pre-planning are needed because oversize freight exceeds design clearances and require permits for movement.

A lot goes into determining freight size and weight restrictions—specifications can range from individual carriers themselves, the road limitations such as an area’s infrastructure, or state laws, amongst many other factors.

Oversize Freight General Dimensions

  • Exceeds 8 ft. 6 in. (2.59 m) in width
  • Exceeds 13 ft. 6 in. (4.11 m) in height
  • 34k to 80k; depends on number of axles

Some examples of oversize freight would be automation equipment, manufacturing equipment, boats, heavy equipment, machinery, generators, trusses, and the like. If you aren’t certain what your freight qualifies as, we can help.
