Grand Junction,
Farm Equipment Transport

Standard Colorado highway limits generally allow loads up to 8 feet 6 inches wide and 14 feet 6 inches high, with gross vehicle weight generally limited to 80,000 pounds on the Interstate system subject to axle and bridge requirements. Larger farm equipment may require an oversize or overweight permit.

Oversized or overweight farm equipment moving through Grand Junction may require a Colorado permit before travel. Permit planning should include loaded dimensions, weights, trailer configuration, origin, destination, and route details so I-70 conditions, mountain grades, wind, bridge restrictions, and rural Western Slope access can be reviewed.

Oversized farm equipment moving through Grand Junction may require escort vehicles depending on load dimensions, highway configuration, and permit conditions. CDOT permit requirements should be confirmed before travel because mountain routes, grades, and roadway restrictions can influence the escort plan.

Oversized farm equipment moving through Grand Junction must follow the travel restrictions shown on the Colorado permit and approved route. Mountain weather, construction, road closures, holiday restrictions, and temporary commercial vehicle restrictions can change allowable travel periods.

Farm equipment moving through Grand Junction should use a trailer rated for the machine and securement equipment capable of handling mountain grades, long-distance travel, and changing road conditions. Oversized loads may require signs, flags, lights, escorts, and additional safety equipment specified by the Colorado permit.

Farm equipment routes from Grand Junction should account for mountain grades, strong winds, elevation changes, bridge restrictions, and long rural distances. I-70 conditions, seasonal weather, trailer weight, and final access to orchards, vineyards, farms, or ranches can influence the route.
