The legal overhang on a pull trailer refers to the portion of the trailer that extends beyond the rear of the towing vehicle. Regulations regarding overhang can vary by jurisdiction, but they typically address how far a trailer can extend past the bumper of the towing vehicle, often limiting it to a specific distance. Exceeding this legal overhang can result in fines or safety violations, so it's essential for trailer owners to familiarize themselves with local laws. Additionally, safety considerations, such as visibility and stability, are important when determining acceptable overhang limits.
In Texas, the legal length of overhang on a flatbed trailer is generally limited to 4 feet at the front and 4 feet at the rear. However, exceptions may apply for specific types of cargo or vehicles, and the total length of the vehicle and load must not exceed state limits. It's advisable to check with local regulations or the Texas Department of Transportation for any specific requirements or updates.
Every state is different, and has its own set of laws for oversized load movement. Each state will have to considered independently when seeking permits. For example; In AZ., you can leally have up to 6' of rear overhang, in CA. you can have up to 2/3 the wheel base (measurement from last axle on truck to last axle on trailer). In addition, there are also varying; hours of operation, axle spacing requirements, and flagging, sign, and lighting requirements for the overhang.
