Mass conditions - Click to expand

Mass requirements

Unless a specific state or territory condition is more restrictive, the following mass limits apply nationally to an eligible combination.

General Mass Limits (GML)

The default mass limit provided by the Notice is GML.

GML applies to all heavy vehicles and is the stated allowable mass for a heavy vehicle axle group, unless the vehicle is operating under an accreditation or an exemption under the HVNL.

GML requirements apply to the following:

mass limits specified by the vehicle manufacturer
mass limits on individual axles and axle groups (see Table 4)
mass limits on individual components (vehicles and trailers)
mass limits on the combination, including as determined by axle spacing requirements.

These mass requirements are prescribed in Schedule 1 of the MDL.

More information on mass limits is available on the NHVR website under Mass, dimensions and loading.

Concessional Mass Limits (CML)

B-doubles may also load to CML.

Operators wishing to benefit from the productivity gains of CML are required to become an NHVAS member, meet the 8 standards of compliance in the NHVAS Accreditation module - Mass Management and nominate vehicles to participate in the scheme.

CML authorises an increase in mass to a nominated heavy vehicle by a maximum of 5% above the GML, subject to:

a maximum of 1t for a vehicle or combination with an allowable gross mass not exceeding 55t
a maximum of 2t for vehicle combinations with an allowable gross mass exceeding 55t.

To be eligible to operate at CML, the axle group must be eligible for the GML shown in Table 4.

For more information, see Concessional Mass Limits.

Axle groups and mass limits

The maximum mass allowable axle or axle group mass limit under the Notice is summarised in Table 4. To be eligible to operate at Concessional Mass Limits (CML), the axle group must be eligible for the GML shown in Table 4.

The maximum mass on each axle group will depend on whether the vehicle operates at general or restricted access, the axle and axle group mass limits in Table 4, and the relevant axle spacing mass limits table.

**Table 4:** Mass limits for single axles and axle groups at GML and CML

		Dual tyres on all axles	N/A	20.0
	*Quad axle groups are prohibited when operating on state-controlled roads in Queensland.

Restricted axles

The following axle groups are restricted in the Notice:

Tri-axle drive groups – An eligible vehicle must not have a drive axle group with more than two axles in contact with the ground. Operators with a tri-drive prime mover in their B-double combination, require an axle group with a retractable axle with one axle raised or a permit to operate.
Quad-axle groups - Prohibited on any B-double operating when on state-controlled roads in Queensland only.

Axle mass spacing limits for general access (up to 50.0t)

B-doubles operating under general access conditions (Section 8 of the Notice) must comply with the axle spacing mass limits specified in Table 5.

The spacing between axle groups determines the maximum allowable mass over those axle groups.
An example of a general access B-double at 50 tonnes, 19 metres, with axle spacing requirements and mass limits is shown in Figure 4.
Figure 4 shows the sum of two adjacent axle groups (14.4t + 15.0t or 15.0t + 14.5t) is 29.5 tonnes and the distance between the outer most axles of those groups must be a minimum of 5.7 metres in accordance with Table 5. The same check applies to all axle groups (i.e. for a B-double with four axle groups, there are six checks which all must comply with Table 5).
The spacing between axle groups determines the maximum allowable mass over those axle groups.

Note: The axle spacing mass limit does not include the 0.5t for a complying steer axle vehicle. When determining the minimum axle spacing, 0.5t may be added to the mass limit prescribed in this Table, if the steer axle is part of the axle group being considered.

Axle spacing mass limits for combinations above 50.0t

A B-double that exceeds 50t is considered a Restricted Access Vehicle (RAV), and these vehicles are provided additional axle spacing mass limits in the MDL shown in Table 6.

The spacing between axle groups determines the maximum allowable mass over those axle groups. B-doubles that exceed the general access mass limit are classified as a restricted access B-double. These vehicles can operate up to 55.5 tonnes under GML (56.0 tonnes with a complying steer axle).

Figure 5 shows an example of the axle spacing requirements and mass limits for a 19 metre restricted access B-double (over 50 tonnes).

Other conditions and additional information

Warning signs for long vehicles

Unless otherwise exempted by the Notice or this Operator's Guide, operators must ensure their vehicle or combination complies with ADRs, HVNL, MDL and VS Regulation.

A B-double longer than 22m must display a "long vehicle" warning sign at the vehicle's rear (as shown in Figure 7).

Warning sign requirements are described in the NHVR's Vehicle Standards Guide (VSG-19).

Figure 7: Example of a long vehicle sign

Assessing routes

Before an eligible vehicle is driven along any route, its driver and operator must be satisfied that the route has been assessed and that the vehicle can be driven along it without:

disrupting telecommunication, electricity, rail, gas, water or sewage services; or
damaging a road (including a bridge), structure, rail crossing or tree.

Third party approvals

A third party is an entity with which consultation is required by either State or Commonwealth law, as a condition of operation or access.

Operators must secure all approvals from third parties such as electricity/utility companies, rail authorities and other third parties as part of their heavy vehicle operations.

For more information, visit the Third party approvals page.

Complying with the HVNL

Unless otherwise exempted by the Notice or this Operator's Guide, operators must ensure their vehicle or combination complies with the:

Australian Design Rules (ADRs); and,
Heavy Vehicle National Law (HVNL); and,
Heavy Vehicle (Mass, Dimension and Loading) National Regulation (MDL); and,
Heavy Vehicle (Vehicle Standards) National Regulation (VS Regulation).

Using or permitting another person to use a defective heavy vehicle or a heavy vehicle with unapproved modifications on a road may be an offence.

Failure to comply may result in the driver and/or operator being liable for an offence. Penalties can include infringement notices or prosecution.

Loading requirements

A load on a heavy vehicle must:

not be placed in a way that makes the vehicle unstable or unsafe
be secured so it is unlikely to fall or be dislodged
be restrained using an appropriate restraint method
be placed, secured or restrained in a way that meets the loading performance standards listed in Schedule 7 of the MDL.

Visit the NHVR loading page for more information on load requirements.

Chain of Responsibility (CoR)

Under the HVNL, every party in the Chain of Responsibility (CoR) has a positive duty to ensure the safety of their activities in relation to a heavy vehicle. This duty, known as the “primary duty”, applies to the scheduling, loading and consigning of a vehicle, as well as to its operation on a road.

Safety is broader than the safety of drivers and other road users. It also includes protection of road infrastructure, preventing damage to other vehicles or property, and minimising environmental harm. Substantial penalties may be imposed upon parties who breach this obligation and upon their executives.

For more information on your CoR obligations visit Chain of Responsibility on the NHVR website.

Our Regulatory Advice offers guidance, tips and tools for managing a range of heavy vehicle safety risks.
