What is an Oversize / Overweight Vehicle?

Any articulated vehicle where the dimensions of the load (indivisible item) and the towing articulated vehicle exceed 2.5m wide 4.3m high 19m long

What is an Indivisible item?

An indivisible item is an item that cannot be divided without extreme effort, expense or risk of damage to it.
Indivisible items must not be loaded side by side to a width of more than 2.5 metres, or one above the other to a height of more than 4.3 metres, or one behind the other to an overall length of more than 12.5 metres for a rigid vehicle, or 19.0 metres for an articulated vehicle or a rigid vehicle and trailer. Where an indivisible item can reasonably be loaded in more than one way, it must be loaded in the way which minimises its width. An oversize vehicle without a load must be reduced to the smallest practical dimension.

What constitutes the Load?

In relation to a vehicle or combination, includes anything that is normally
removed from the vehicle or combination when not in use. It does not
include:
i) tools, equipment or substances necessary for the vehicle or
combination to function, or for any load to be restrained, or
ii) personal items used by the driver.
