Over-height load permits

Over-height load permits

If you’re transporting a high load over 4.31m, you need to apply for a permit so we can check that your travel routes and plans are safe.  

If your load is over 5.5m high, charges may apply for a contractor to escort your load or for planned outages to be arranged to ensure your load is kept clear of overhead lines. (If a planned outage is required, your transport date may need to change so affected customers can be notified in advance).  

You’ll also need to notify Chorus and Tuatahi First Fibre changes@tuatahifibre.co.nz about your high load because fibre cables may be on power poles too. Find more information about overdimension load requirements on the NZTA website
