I have not personally experience loading in this massive way. I have seen it multiple times though but I feel that it is still too much for me at the moment., I am imagining that a mishap would result into a disaster, so I am still working my way into that kind of responsibility.

Illegal use of special types trailerThis was delivery ballast at our local station Friday, some setup. Stacks on it

Not down to the fact its a divisible load. Counting the bags it would be legal on a standard flat. More so the fact that a special types trailer can only be used for oversized/overweight loads. A law that's underpoliced.

...... and agreed, - way under a conventional flat's capacity

Difficult to tell but looking at it compared to the unit it looks standard width. Usually the extra wide stgo only trailers look odd against the unit

lots of 'em are extendable now though, so can run std width empty

Is it not more that STGO does not comply with the MOT regs and using them for anything other that special loads is not law abiding
