Higher tire weight limits for mobile cranes

South Dakota law allows qualifying mobile cranes higher tire loads on any highway in the state. The limit is 650 pounds per inch of tire width on each axle permanently attached to the crane. The crane must carry its boom over the vehicle and operate with a state permit under § 32-22-42. A mobile crane is a lifting machine on a self-propelled carrier, with a telescoping or lattice boom. It is designed to move easily between work sites to lift and move heavy materials. Existing limits on total axle and combined axle weight still apply. Violations remain a Class 2 misdemeanor.
