Alpharetta, GA
Farm Equipment Transport

Standard Georgia limits generally allow loads up to 8 feet 6 inches wide, 13 feet 6 inches high, 100 feet in overall length including overhang, and 80,000 pounds gross vehicle weight subject to axle and bridge requirements. Farm equipment exceeding these limits may require an oversize or overweight permit.

Farm equipment exceeding Georgia legal size or weight limits may require an oversize or overweight permit before moving through Alpharetta. Permit planning should include the complete loaded dimensions, gross and axle weights, trailer setup, origin, destination, and route so bridge restrictions, rolling terrain, suburban traffic, and rural delivery access can be reviewed.

Farm equipment moving through Alpharetta may require escort vehicles depending on the permitted dimensions and Georgia route conditions. Width, height, length, suburban traffic, rolling terrain, bridge restrictions, and limited sight distance can affect the number and placement of escorts.

Farm equipment moving through Alpharetta must follow the travel periods and conditions listed on the Georgia oversize or overweight permit. Atlanta-area traffic, construction, severe weather, holiday restrictions, daylight requirements, and poor visibility can affect when the load may travel.

Farm equipment leaving Alpharetta should be prepared for suburban traffic, rolling terrain, rural roads, and changing weather across north Georgia. The trailer, chains, binders, ramps, winches, brakes, tires, lights, flags, and warning devices should be checked before dispatch.

Farm equipment routes from Alpharetta should be planned around US-19 and GA-400 congestion, suburban traffic, rolling terrain, bridge restrictions, and construction. GA-9, GA-120, and Old Milton Parkway provide local access, while rural delivery roads should be reviewed for grades, curves, gate width, and trailer maneuvering room.
