Are cherry-pickers over 3500KG no longer able to run on red?

 

I spoke to the 2 customs & excise inspectors briefly.... the first thing they do is 'dip' if red is found, then entitlement is confirmed or not.

 

typical entitlement;

a) forrestry or ag as business source

b) category of vehicle on reg docs.

 

Mine is 'Hgv tower crane' . therefore white derv, tacho calabrated & used, no mot, can tow trailer connected with work of crane.

 

If the category on docs is 'Hgv goods' or 'crane' then derv & trailer or not rules apply.

 

Cherry pickers are 'tower cranes' if there weight makes any odds I don't know, the type of work you do with them does.

Yes or carry a load, same with mobile cranes, but in the OP there was no mention of towing/load carring being the reason for using white.

 

I noticed that. A MEWP or a crane on rebated fuel can carry a load but only that associated with the immediate use of the vehicle, so you can carry saws, road signs and suchlike.
