Loads over 24 feet wide are classified as overloads and require notification to the RCMP, emergency services and all public services on the road. Support vehicles and pilot vehicles are the same things and there is no difference in their function or location. Pilot cars or trucks travel with the oversized expedition and are in constant communication with the loading driver. The location and number of pilot vehicles depend on the size of the cargo to be shipped and the number of lanes on the road. Oversized load means any truck capacity or load that exceeds the legal allowable length, height and width specified by each province. In general, the maximum allowable dimensions are as follows: The following requirements apply to loads above Alberta`s legal limits: Do you have a 3-tonne Hino 195 truck? The customer wants to carry teepee poles at least 20 feet long. although they are marked at the end of the poles. I said it wasn`t safe because the only way to secure the poles is to close the door. The other problem is the length of the poles at the back of the truck. I think exceeds 12.8 m. Is this a legal cargo to be fired 10 km in CAlgary??? A red and white “D” banner on the front of the aggregate and at the back of the load: 2.45 m (8 ft.) x 0.3 m (10 in.) high, the letter “D” in the centre, 20 cm (8 in.) high, Series E. The white parts must have a good reflective quality. The red parts must be painted with the transparent red paint used for stop signs.

I will show that you do. I will also update the page. Contact them for a full review (bottom left) wideloadshipping.com/alberta-shipping-regulations/ When it comes to transportation logistics, it`s worth considering the essential aspects of the equipment, including weight, width, height, and length. In addition, special transport permits are required to move these units. Transportation services in each province set maximum vehicle weight and size limits. This ensures public safety and contributes to the preservation of motorway infrastructure. The legal limits apply to all registered vehicles on public roads.
They also contain provisions for the movement of oversized loads under a licence. Read on to learn more about oversized loads. Length: The maximum total length allowed in Alberta without a licence is 23 metres (75′ 3″). Width: The maximum width allowed is 2.6 meters (8′ 6″`). Height: The maximum height allowed in Alberta is 4.15 metres 13′ 7″. Weight: maximum 6,000 kg on steered axle. Tandem axles: 17,000 kg. Tridum axles also weigh 17,000 kilograms (37,478.6 lbs).
All axle loads are subject to tire size. Surplus: We have no information on the overhang allowed in Alberta. Please share your knowledge with others below. Notes: * Super simple tires require “New Generation, Wide Base” tires with a minimum width of 445 mm. Available only with permission. Super simple tires do not apply to the steered axle. ** These tride axle weights apply to provincial highways only. The maximum weight of a tridem axle on a municipal road is 17,000 kg.
Permits may be available to achieve higher weights. All axle loads are subject to a minimum tire size. The maximum weight per tyre shall not exceed the lower value of the tyre manufacturer`s weight class or the width of the tyre embossed on the sidewall multiplied by 10 kg/mm. Source: Alberta Transportation SEASONAL LOAD RESTRICTIONS: During the spring thaw, no excess weight permits are issued for roads within the thaw zone. Legal axle weights are only allowed on main roads, and some routes limit the weight to 75% or 90% of the legal axle. The “traffic bans” of the spring thaw will last until about June 15. SIGNS, FLAGS AND LIGHTS: Report the widest points of a load over 8`6″ wide or bright at night. A width greater than 10 feet also requires front and rear panels – “D” warning signs or “Wide load” signs, or you can use “Oversized Load” signs with a copy of the above annual exemption for equipment. More than 11 feet wide requires a flashing beacon on the tractor cab visible from all directions. If it is not visible from behind, a second beacon must be attached to the back.
Transport heights are a safety consideration for loads used to clear bridges, traffic lights, power lines and other overhead obstacles. It is useful to know that you may need police escorts and power line crews for loads above the typical height of 13.5 feet or 4.11 m. Do I have to operate my beacons with my 15`10″ high load? I intend to move a composite ultralight, it`s a Quickie 1, a duck style aircraft. There are no wings or tails that come off, so I have to drag it as is. Duck is 16`8″ wide and 15` long and about 4` high. I have an 8.5` x 16` pendant to pull it. He weighs only 250 pounds. I can either have the wings the length of my pendant and let the tail protrude upwards.
It about 18` or I can load it with the wings on the sides of the trailer in an inclined position where one wing is high and the other low above the edge of the trailer and near the ground.. So my question is: How do I move this thing from Melfort SK to Prince George, British Columbia? I need an overheight permit for the width of 18` or 16`8″. Length: 53` semi-trailer and load (lifting axle must be above)75,5` Total wheelbase of tractor: For loads of legal dimensions, the wheelbase of the tractor (from the centre of the steered axle to the centre of the driving axles) shall not exceed 244 inches without the annual approval for long-wheelbase tractors. This always limits the total length to a maximum of 75`6″. With an annual size license and with an oversized or overweight single driver`s license, the wheelbase of the tractor can be increased up to a maximum of 267.7 inches. Overhang: The centre of the rear axle group to the end of the trailer or load shall not exceed 35 % of the wheelbase of the trailer (measured as an axle pivot at the centre of the rear axle group), otherwise this shall be permitted. Night driving is allowed for loads that are too long as you have 1 rear pilot car/companion and you are on multi-lane roads. What is the legal overhang in Alberta on an 18-foot trailer?

The centre of the trailer axle towards the rear shall not exceed 6,5 metres. (21′ 4″) Aspire Energy Resources is connected to Alberta`s high-load corridor, allowing for the convenient and cost-effective transportation of oversized equipment to and from our facilities.
Tridem Drive tractor: Tridem Drive tractors are not legal unless all axles are driven and evenly distributed. Lifting axles are not permitted. If a lifting axle is chained, the wheelbase rules apply. Fortunately, the Alberta provincial government has invested in creating a network of high-load corridors to handle oversized loads.
