New York requires oversize load permits for equipment exceeding standard legal dimensions: 8.5 feet wide, 13.6 feet high, or 80,000 pounds gross weight. Most construction equipment like excavators, bulldozers, and large loaders require these permits.
We handle the entire permit process, including route surveys when required and coordination with escort vehicles if needed. The permit application includes detailed equipment specifications, transport route, and timing to ensure compliance with all state regulations.
Different counties may have additional requirements, and certain routes have time restrictions for oversize loads. Our experience with New York DOT regulations ensures your equipment moves legally and safely without delays from permit issues.
Local equipment moves within Day and surrounding areas typically take 1-2 days from scheduling to delivery, depending on permit requirements and equipment availability. Simple moves under legal size limits can often be completed same-day or next-day.
