Victoria's Class 1 gazetted Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV) network map for 40 tonne “truck” cranes, 40 tonne concrete pump trucks and 3-axle All Terrain (European) cranes.  This map shows all approved arterial and municipal roads that operators of 40 tonne “truck” cranes, 40 tonne concrete pump trucks and 3-axle All Terrain (European) cranes (at up to 36.0 tonnes) can use. 

Roads not shown as approved (green) require road manager approval for access by permit, with the exception of signed detours. This map is deemed to include any detour around a road closure on a gazetted road, provided it is marked with detour signage. 

Note: Operators must comply with mass and height clearance restrictions as indicated by symbols (red dots for mass and orange diamonds for height)

View the Oversize & Overmass (OSOM) network map

Victoria's Class 1 gazetted Oversize & Overmass (OSOM) network map. This map shows all approved arterial and municipal roads that operators of low loader/dolly combinations operating under the Multi-State Class 1 Load Carrying Vehicles Dimension Exemption Notice 2020 (No. 1) [PDF 1.2Mb] (External link) (PDF) and/or the Multi-State Class 1 Load Carrying Vehicle Mass Exemption Notice 2020 (No.1) can use. This is for combinations that operate up to 100.0 tonnes gross mass, 5.0 metres high, 5.0 metres wide, and 30 metres long.

Roads not shown as approved (green) or approved with conditions (orange) require road manager approval for access by a separate permit, with the exception of signed detours. This map is deemed to include any detour around a road closure on a gazetted road, provided it is marked with detour signage.

Note: Operators must comply with mass and height clearance restrictions as indicated by symbols (red dots for mass and orange diamonds for height). For other highlighted structures (orange dots), the restriction applies only to combinations with a total mass between 49.6 and 100 tonnes.

Access Arrangements for OSOM Combinations that are up to 3.5 metres wide, 4.6 metres high, 25.0 metres long and 49.5 tonnes

The Victorian Class 1 Oversize & Overmass (OSOM) Route Access Lists [PDF, 740Kb] detail areas of operation, exempted routes and prohibited routes and structures for all Class 1 OSOM vehicles that are up to 3.5 metres wide, 4.6 metres high, 25.0 metres long and 49.5 tonnes. This document is linked to and is to be read in conjunction with the NHVR notice:

Victoria Class 1 Load Carrying and Special Purpose Vehicle Mass And Dimension Exemption Notice 2019 (No.1) 

Heavy Tow Trucks

Heavy Tow Trucks operating under permit and using The Heavy Tow Trucks bulletin [PDF 882Kb] must not cross any restricted structures (red and orange dots) shown on this map

1. PLATFORM TRAILER 115T
2. PLATFORM TRAILER 145T
3. PLATFORM TRAILER 161T
4. PLATFORM TRAILER 176T

The four pre-approved networks, for combinations that operate up to 176.0 tonnes gross mass, 6.0 metres high, 6.0 metres wide, and 38 metres long, are:

• Reference vehicle 1: Prime mover and 6x8 platform trailer combination up to 115.0 tonnes
• Reference vehicle 2: Prime mover and 8x8 platform trailer combination up to 145.0 tonnes
• Reference vehicle 3: Prime mover and 2x8 dolly and 7x8 platform trailer combination up to 161.0 tonnes
• Reference vehicle 4: Prime mover and 2x8 dolly and 8x8 platform trailer combination up to 176.0 tonnes 

A key feature of these networks is that all structural conditions can be viewed on each individual map, removing the need for operators to seek a structural assessment. 

Victoria’s Platform Trailer Network information sheet [PDF 767Kb] has been developed to work alongside these maps and to provide clarity around questions around unladen travel, pilot requirements, travel time restrictions and the general responsibilities that each operator must comply with. (Operators should read this information sheet before applying for a permit through the NHVR). 

Roads NOT shown on the maps as approved (green) or approved with conditions (orange) require additional road manager approval for access by a separate permit, except for signed detours. These maps are deemed to include any detour around a road closure on a pre-approved road, provided it is marked with detour signage.

Note: Operators must comply with mass and height clearance restrictions as indicated by symbols (orange and red dots for mass, orange diamonds for height, and orange and black symbols designating rail crossings). You must also plan your trip and review your intended route before you travel.

View the Over Dimensional (OD) Route Network map

Victoria’s Over Dimensional (OD) Vehicles network map. This map shows the preferred network of arterial and municipal roads that cater for OD combinations that exceed 5.0 metres high or 5.0 metres wide or 30.0 metres long or 100.0 tonnes gross mass. These OD routes have been chosen because they have minimal height and width impediments or mass restrictions.

The routes are mapped in different colours for specific OD routes. The (broken lines) on certain routes in the regional network indicate proposed OD routes. Routes 5A and 5B (light blue) in the metropolitan network are alternate routes to be used only when authorised  by VicRoads Permits Section

• OD Route 5A is an alternate route for OSOM combinations that are not permitted to travel via the West Gate bridge.
• OD Route 5B is an alternate route for OSOM vehicles that are not permitted to travel via the Dandenong Bypass.

NOTE: This map is for information only and does not reflect temporary changes to the network such as road closures or detours. Operators of OD vehicles must check the VicTraffic map on the VicRoads website for road closures and road conditions prior to travel to ensure clear passage. Travelling off the preferred network requires written road manager approval or direction by an authorised officer.

Access for these OD vehicles is managed through conditions such as escorts and travel time restrictions stated in an OD Vehicle Permit. To obtain a permit to operate an OD vehicle, please submit your Class 1 permit application via the NHVR website (External link).
