Davis, CA
Farm Equipment Transport

Standard California highway limits generally allow loads up to 8 feet 6 inches wide, 14 feet high, and 80,000 pounds gross vehicle weight. Semitrailer length is generally limited to 48 feet, with qualifying 53-foot semitrailers allowed under applicable axle-position rules. Oversized farm machinery may require permits and approved routing.

Oversized agricultural machinery moving through Davis may require a Caltrans oversize or overweight transportation permit. Equipment dimensions, gross and axle weights, trailer setup, origin, destination, and proposed route should be confirmed so bridge limits, irrigation-area access, clearances, and roadway restrictions can be reviewed before dispatch.

Oversized agricultural machinery moving through Davis may require California-certified pilot cars based on the permitted dimensions and Caltrans route classification. Agricultural traffic, irrigation crossings, limited sight distance, and local roadway conditions can influence escort placement and timing.

Oversized agricultural machinery moving through Davis must follow the travel periods authorized on the California transportation permit. Agricultural traffic, commute periods, construction, weekends, fog, and reduced visibility can affect the approved movement window.

Farm equipment moving through Davis should be loaded on a trailer matched to the machine’s dimensions, weight, ground clearance, and loading method. Chains, binders, ramps, winches, brakes, tires, lights, flags, and warning devices should be checked, with added attention to irrigation crossings and active agricultural roads.

Farm equipment routes through Davis should be planned around I-80 and CA-113 traffic, irrigation infrastructure, narrow agricultural roads, construction, and active seasonal farm movement. Russell Boulevard, Covell Boulevard, and County Road 102 provide useful local access, but canal crossings and field entrances should be reviewed before dispatch.
