What are the pilot car requirements for 14-ft wide crane loads in Texas?
In Texas, 14-ft wide crane loads require one pilot car when width exceeds 12 feet but remains under 16 feet.
Texas requires one pilot car escort for crane loads that are 14 feet wide. This falls under the state's oversize load regulations where loads exceeding 12 feet in width but under 16 feet wide must have a front pilot car. The pilot car must be positioned at least 500 feet ahead of the oversize load and display proper warning signs and amber flashing lights.
Remember: "Texas 12-16 Rule: One pilot for the middle zone" (12-16 ft wide = 1 pilot car)
