A low clearance detection system for a vehicle. In one example, the system includes a first sensor configured to detect an object in front of the vehicle and generate an object clearance signal. The system includes a second sensor configured to detect a load height of a load of the vehicle and generate a load height signal. The system includes a third sensor configured to detect a distance between the third sensor to a ground surface and to generate a ground reference signal. The system also includes an electronic processor configured to receive the object clearance signal, the load height signal, and the ground reference signal. The electronic processor determines an object clearance threshold, a clearance height of the load, and a load collision condition when the clearance height exceeds the object clearance threshold. In response to determining the load collision condition, the electronic processor controls a vehicle system.
