The original question was in relation to access platforms on vehicles.

 

My machine was supplied ex-southern electric and was run on red. I have a letter from the customs and excise that states the following

 

"As a result of the High court's decision relating to aerial platforms, I can confirm that the Department considers the two vehicles in question to be mobile cranes, and therefore 'excepted vehicles' under Schedule 1 of the Hydrocarbon Oil Duties Act 1979.As such these vehicles may use rebated gas oil providing they meet the definition of a mobile crane as per Schedule 1 "
