To the best of my knowledge it is as for HGV. I have always been told that I needed C or C1 to drive my 12 ton mobile crane (technically "engineering plant" under Special Types) on the road. Fortunately I have both C and C1 plus E, so it's never been an issue.

12T crane is C. C1 is only 7.5T The C1E whilst taking you up to 12T does not let you drive over 7.5T vehicles.

You would need the class of licence that covers the weight of the vehicle,

C1 3501kg up to 7500kg

C up to 3501kg up to 32000kg typically put possibly more.

 

Just because it is registered as a specialist vehicle does not mean that when you use it it is a specialist vehicle.

 

So watch out for needing MOT tax Tacho & O licence.

 

I have a sneaky feeling I know the vehicle you might be looking at.

Good point, thank you, that was a senior moment while typing! My mind still lives in a world with HGV1, HGV2, and HGV3, when 2 was appropriate for a 12 ton gross Iron Fairy.

 

You'll be telling me we've gone metric next!
