New York's massive economy spans the financial center of Manhattan, the industrial heartland of Upstate, and everything between. From transformer deliveries to Wall Street substations to wind turbine transport across the Southern Tier, HEAT Freight navigates the Empire State's complex regulations and congested corridors with expertise.
New York's diverse economy requires equipment for financial sector data centers, Upstate manufacturing facilities, agricultural operations, and construction projects statewide. The Port of New York and New Jersey serves as America's busiest East Coast port complex. Wind energy development across Upstate generates turbine transport needs. Food processing serves the state's dairy and apple industries.
NYSDOT issues oversize/overweight permits with strict requirements, particularly for New York City. Standard limits are 8.5' width, 13.5' height, and 80,000 lbs. NYC requires separate permits and has extensive restrictions. Loads over 12' wide require escorts, and superloads need advance coordination.

What are the NYC oversize restrictions?
New York City requires separate permits from NYC DOT in addition to state permits. Extensive restrictions apply including prohibited routes, time windows (often night-only), and escort requirements. Bridge and tunnel crossings have specific limits. We coordinate all NYC-specific requirements.
Can you transport from the Port of NY/NJ?
Yes, we handle equipment from all Port of New York and New Jersey terminals. We coordinate with terminal operators, navigate the complex regional highway network, and transport cargo to destinations throughout the Northeast and nationwide.
What are the Thruway oversize procedures?
The New York State Thruway has specific oversize requirements including permitted hours and escort mandates. Some toll plazas have height or width limits. We obtain Thruway authority approvals in addition to NYSDOT permits for compliant transport.
How do you handle Upstate agricultural equipment?
We transport combines, harvesters, and processing equipment throughout Upstate New York's agricultural regions. We coordinate with farm schedules and navigate the rural roads common to agricultural delivery. Dairy facility equipment is a specialty.
