St. George, UT
Farm Equipment Transport

Farm equipment generally moves without an oversize permit in Utah when the loaded vehicle remains within 8 feet 6 inches wide, 14 feet high, 53 feet in trailer length, and 80,000 pounds gross vehicle weight. Axle limits, bridge restrictions, and local roadway rules still apply, and equipment exceeding any legal limit may require a Utah permit and approved route.

Farm equipment exceeding Utah’s legal size or weight limits requires the appropriate oversize or overweight permit before transport through St. George. The permit application must include accurate loaded dimensions, axle weights, gross weight, equipment details, and the proposed route. Larger loads may require additional route or structure review, and separate approval may be needed for locally maintained roads.

Oversized farm equipment moving through St. George may require one or more certified pilot cars based on the load’s width, height, length, route, and Utah permit conditions. Front escorts may help identify clearance or roadway hazards, while rear escorts warn approaching traffic. Extremely large loads may require additional escorts, height-pole support, or law-enforcement coordination.

Oversized farm equipment moving through St. George may be limited to the travel hours and days listed on the Utah permit. Restrictions can apply during nighttime hours, holidays, severe weather, heavy traffic, or when visibility is reduced. Larger loads may face additional limits on I-15 and local roads, so the approved route and permit conditions should be reviewed before dispatch.

Farm equipment moving through St. George must be loaded on a trailer rated for the machinery’s weight and dimensions. Securement may include chains, binders, straps, blocks, and attachment restraints selected for the specific machine. Oversized loads may also require warning signs, flags, lights, escorts, and additional equipment listed on the Utah permit.

Farm equipment routes through St. George should be reviewed for grades, desert road conditions, bridge limits, construction restrictions, and access between I-15 and rural properties. Pickup and delivery planning should also confirm gate width, turning space, loading surfaces, and whether local roads can safely accommodate the selected trailer.
