Haverhill, MA
Farm Equipment Transport

Standard Massachusetts highway limits generally allow loads up to 8 feet 6 inches wide and 13 feet 6 inches high on routes without lower clearance restrictions. Gross vehicle weight is generally limited to 80,000 pounds subject to axle, bridge, and roadway requirements. Older bridges and local roads may impose additional restrictions.

Farm equipment exceeding Massachusetts legal size or weight limits may require an oversize or overweight permit before moving through Haverhill. The permit plan should include loaded dimensions, axle weights, trailer setup, origin, destination, and proposed route so bridge clearances, older roads, winter conditions, and Merrimack Valley access can be reviewed.

Farm equipment moving through Haverhill may require escort vehicles depending on the permitted dimensions and Massachusetts route requirements. Width, height, length, bridge clearances, rolling terrain, narrow roads, winter conditions, and limited sight distance can influence the escort plan.

Farm equipment moving through Haverhill must follow the travel periods and conditions listed on the Massachusetts permit. Winter weather, bridge restrictions, construction, regional traffic, holiday periods, and reduced visibility can affect the approved travel schedule.

Farm equipment moving through Haverhill should be secured for winter weather, older roads, rolling terrain, bridge clearances, and rural Merrimack Valley access. The trailer, chains, binders, ramps, winches, brakes, tires, lights, flags, and warning equipment should be inspected before dispatch.

Farm equipment routes through Haverhill should be planned around I-495 traffic, winter weather, bridge clearances, older roads, and rolling terrain. MA-97, MA-110, MA-125, and MA-113 provide regional connections, while final rural approaches should be checked for road width, curves, grades, and trailer access.
