Permits & Compliance, Handled For You
50MAX And HPMV Permits Arranged Around Your Route
When your route calls for extra mass or dimension allowance, we arrange the right permit — 50MAX or HPMV — for a $200 admin fee per permit. We match the truck and trailer pairing to your route and gross combination mass (GCM), confirming allowable mass and axle group limits for the unit and route at the time of booking.
We plan every route to stay within the legal 4.3-metre height envelope and standard 2.55-metre width unless a permit allows otherwise, and operate nationwide on permit-compliant corridors from our Tamahere, Waikato base. At handover we brief you on the specific conditions attached to your permit — you remain responsible for following NZTA mass, dimension, and permit rules at all times.

Compliance Built Into Every Hire
How We Handle Permits For Your Route
Running over standard mass or dimension limits means the right permit needs to be in place before the wheels turn. We take care of that process as part of your hire, not as an afterthought.
We confirm allowable mass and axle group limits for your unit and route at booking, arrange the 50MAX or HPMV permit that applies, and plan the route to stay within the legal height and width envelope unless the permit allows otherwise.
Have a specific route or load in mind? Get in touch and we'll confirm exactly what permit, if any, your combination needs.

Legal Height And Width
