What is tractor-trailer height?

Tractor-trailer height regulations vary around the world. In the United States, the maximum overall height of a commercial motor vehicle, including the load, is 13 feet 6 inches (4.11 metres). This height limit applies to all vehicles operated on public roads, regardless of the number of axles or trailers.

Some states may have stricter height restrictions for certain types of vehicles or loads. For example, some states may prohibit vehicles carrying certain types of hazardous materials or oversized loads from exceeding a height of 14 feet (4.27 metres).

In other countries, the maximum tractor-trailer height may be different. For example, in the European Union, the maximum overall height of a commercial vehicle is 4 metres (13 feet 1 inch), while in Australia the maximum height is 4.3 metres (14 feet 1 inch).

It is important to be aware of the height restrictions for commercial vehicles in the jurisdiction where you are operating. If your vehicle exceeds the height limit, you may be subject to fines or other penalties.
