https://www.kudauk.ltd.uk/shop/health-and-safety-equipment/height-indicators https://www.amazon.co.uk/Tachodisc-WHVHI-Vehicle-Height-Indicator/dp/B00CJBXNZ2 ‘From 1st October 1997, if the overall travelling height of a motor vehicle or trailer exceeds three metres there must be a notice in the cab…’ It must: be where it can be easily read by the driver and have numbers at least 40mm tall indicate the overall travelling height (to a tolerance of plus 150mm) be in feet/inches or in both feet/inches and metres (but not in metres only!). (If you’re going to do both the heights indicated must not differ by more than 50mm. be clear i.e. no other letters or numbers capable of being confused with the height indicated may appear in the cab notice and there must be no other notice displayed in the cab that could be confused with this notice. What is overall travelling height? ‘the overall height from ground level of the vehicle, its equipment and load. When drawing a trailer, overall travelling height means the overall height of the vehicle/trailer combination, its equipment and load.’

C&U regs and has been for years. Any vehicle or load over 3m high must have a sign visible to the driver from his normal driving position. The DVSA are HOT HOT HOT on this just now due to all the bridge strikes. They have even changed the initial CPC module 4 test to cover this as the problem has become so bad. Checking the height & sign settings (you can get adjustable ones) should be part of the drivers walk round check that they should do every day or after leaving the vehicle un attended.

If going for a tall 7.5 tonner make sure you fit a height sign in the cab that the driver can see at all times. Add it to the drivers walk round check list. The height that this becomes law is 3m.

Dunno, I was going to look before posting but at 14 pages long & on my phone thought better of it.

They have now. Sadly its pre the 2013 changes. Unless it's been updated.

We are looking at becoming an approved supplier for a grant funded scheme for training for forestry business based in Wales. The approval process is quite complex & costly for a small business like mine. How many of you would be interested in BE C1 & C1E courses based in North Wales if you could get substantial funding for the training? Please message via the link if you are interested. http://m.me/TrailerTrainingCymru

Man & Processor available to cut & split your lengths. Up to 14" diameter & can split up to 600mm long. Handles twisty stuff but slows production as you would expect. Half or full day rates from £130 plus travel. Based in North Wales but will work any where for the right price. Production varies with wood, site & quality of help. A recent job that had a terrible site, awkward wood & poor help resulted in 15 IBCs per day. Most sites would easily out perform this.

Do you mean builders bags or the vented 1 m3 bags?

Refurbish existing or sell and re-buy another trailer

Justme replied to difflock's topic in General chat
I think to sell it with a clear conscience I would have to fit new axle / hubs. As a towing trainer I can hardly claim that I did not know it was illegal. -

As an owner I would sell & buy new. As a buyer I would not buy it on polo hubs & a non braked hitch. -
Plant trailers can often come with an adjustable draw bar neck.
-
There is a standard height for all towballs. From memory its about 17-19" high.

Yeh I know. As fast as I am typing more replies are coming in.

PS BE never has a code on it even if limited.
-
When you said this I assumed you meant your licence. Then I saw the other pic & it all went down hill.
-
You said all you need to do was look at the licence. Sadly thats not true. Lots of info is now just on the online bit & some not even on there like the pre 19-01-2013 lack of limits.
-
We get people from all over the country come here. Lots bring the family & have a min break.
-
Thats odd it did have a quote till I edited it. Yours re the 12 tonnes. The other licence was posted that I missed. I only saw the one with the 107 code.
-
North Wales. We use the Caernarfon test centre.
-
I bet you charge more per day in vehicle / trailer use. £335 -115 test fee -30 fuel - various other running costs
-
Sorry looked at wrong pic. Yes it will
-
That depends. Course start at £335 inc test fee (£115). Most need more than the minimum course.
-
Show me where it says which BE rules you come under? AT least your C1E D1 & D1E have codes to tell you your restrictions.
-
So your BE will be an unlimited one then.
