Vermont's rural character, dairy industry, and ski tourism create unique heavy equipment transport challenges. From the cheese plants that process the state's famous dairy to ski resort construction in the Green Mountains, HEAT Freight navigates the Green Mountain State's winding roads and seasonal restrictions with care.
Vermont's dairy industry is the largest in New England, requiring milking systems, processing equipment, and farm machinery. Ski resorts need seasonal equipment including snowcats and lift components. The craft brewing and specialty food industry requires processing equipment. Quarrying operations produce granite and marble requiring heavy equipment.
VTrans issues oversize/overweight permits with attention to the state's rural infrastructure. Standard limits are 8.5' width, 13.5' height, and 80,000 lbs. Spring weight restrictions apply during thaw. Many covered bridges have strict limits. Winter travel requires attention to conditions.

What are Vermont's spring weight restrictions?
Vermont imposes spring weight restrictions during thaw, typically March through May. Restrictions can reduce allowable weights by 50% or more on many roads. We monitor postings and advise on timing for heavy shipments.
How do you handle covered bridge clearances?
Vermont has numerous covered bridges with very restrictive clearances, some as low as 8'. These historic structures require careful route planning for any oversized load. We maintain detailed clearance data and avoid covered bridge routes.
Can you transport ski resort equipment?
Yes, we transport snowcats, chairlift components, grooming equipment, and snowmaking systems to Vermont ski areas. We understand the timing requirements and challenging mountain access roads. Off-season delivery is often preferred.
What dairy industry equipment do you transport?
We transport milking systems, bulk tanks, cheese processing equipment, and farm machinery throughout Vermont's dairy regions. We coordinate with farm schedules and navigate the rural roads common to agricultural delivery.
