Which parts fold, detach or overhang?

Agricultural machinery

Measure the actual transport assembly, including dual wheels, headers, folded booms and hitch equipment. Agricultural dimensions vary widely with options.

Define the transported assembly

Dual wheels, folded booms, headers and hitch equipment can change both the envelope and the support plan. Folding a component may reduce width while increasing height. Treat a separately carried header or implement as a separate load, with its own lifting, support and securement needs.

Open platform

Useful to investigate for long implements and crane-loaded components when their approved supports fit.

Lowbed or equipment-loading trailer

Compare machine access, support width and the folded height against the exact deck geometry.

Carry these details into the load plan

A device-local worksheet for measurements, sources and unresolved questions.

Measure before selecting

  • Folded height and secured width
  • Dual-wheel / track support width
  • Header or hitch overhang
  • Shipping weight with fluids and attachments

Loading approach

Check self-propelled loading access separately from lift-on implements. Verify hitch clearance at the neck or tail.

Support & load concentration

Confirm support locations for implements; a long folded assembly may sit on only a few small feet or wheels.

Configuration traps

Folding does not necessarily reduce height. Treat header transport as a separate load when it uses another carrier.

Build the load record

Keep the model reference, actual attachment configuration, measured transport envelope and support drawing together. A change to the machine or its loading position requires the affected comparisons to be updated.

Equipment links support research. Highway Match uses the measurements you enter and does not silently import a related model’s values.
