Loads and towing
Before you consider carrying a load, you must ensure that you will not exceed legal limits relating to the total weight, length, height, width and rear overhang of your vehicle or trailer. Also, if you are towing, the towing vehicle, trailer and its load must meet all legal and safety requirements.
Load restraint guide
In April 2004, the National Transport Commission released a second edition of the Load Restraint Guide. The revised guide has been developed by road agencies led by the Roads and Traffic Authority, New South Wales in conjunction with the National Transport Commission and industry groups.
The Load Restraint Guide is available from the Government Bookshop. The Load Restraint Guide is also available from the National Transport Commission website.
