New Zealand Heavy Haulage Association Incorporated
Working for the Overdimension and Overweight Transport Sectors
Oversize loads play an important role in the New Zealand's economy and are therefore permitted to travel on the country's roads. To minimise disruptions and ensure the safety of other road users special operating conditions apply. Further information
Transport operators in this sector find that their policy and operating environment is constantly changing. One of the Heavy Haulage Association's main goals is to keep its members up to date with these changes.
Other road users may need to take care around overdimension and overweight loads that at times may need more road space than normal freight loads. Advice for other road users
Road designers should be aware of the travel of overdimension and overweight loads when designing or altering roading networks. The Heavy Haulage Association has developed a comprehensive guideline for engineers to use.
