  2. General Information about Moving Heavy Machinery • The Federal government does not issue regulations for moving heavy machinery. Guidelines to move heavy equipments are dealt individually by the state. • Rules govern the limit set for length, height, width and weight of the vehicle carrying the machine • Machines that weigh 10,000 pounds or more and need tracks or wheels to move them are classified heavy machinery.

  3. Regulations in California • The maximum width is 17 inches, height is 16 in and length 135 inches for a vehicle to be classified as super load. Drivers may have to check for permitted route before moving their superload vehicle. Similarly, vehicles are also classified according to their weight and routed accordingly. (For more information, refer to California DOT site for detailed information) • The machine to be moved should not overhang more than 1/3 of the overall length.
