Load capacity assessments are carried out to provide a more detailed assessment of structural components or identify the need for load limits to be imposed.

You need a permit if your vehicle exceeds the dimension or mass limits allowed on the road network. The type of permit required depends on your vehicle class and the jurisdiction in which you're travelling. 

The National Heavy Vehicle Regulator issue permits for oversize and over mass vehicles.

Drivers must consult the notices before they travel and be aware of the requirements and conditions applying to their journey.
