Bit of overhang

[Mogman]

Might have to stick this on a trailer

 

[Grahams]

Just turn it sideways, it will be fine!

 

[tinydigger]

tie a ropey old hi-viz to the back handles will be fine

Apart from the fact that it looks odd, strictly speaking if it’s under 3.05m overhang wouldn’t it be legal with marker boards?

I've a better idea stick it in the boat and send it to me.

yes ..... but it would be an interesting argument on the side of the Queen's highway with plod and DVSA/VOSA ....... and I'd want a few more chains over it before venturing forth

Just need to nail a couple of little wheels onto the bottom of your rear stabilisers mate, perfect then!

Markers and lights. Yes it would be legal provided it's secure.

I think you would needs under run protection on the rear and sides. Plus I think the rear overhang can only be something like 2/5 of the wheel base?

 

[Quattromike]

Could be 3/5ths

That's to do with the c&d of the vehicles actual fixed equipment.

Load projections are a different matter.

During another exhilarating round of CPC training we spent an hour arguing with the trainer as he was adamant you can't move containers unless you have a full set of twistlocks
He thought the crossed chains front and rear and three ratchets over the top that we usually use on empty containers was an insecure load

What a tool
I just have two straps over empty boxes but my trailer has chock rails so can’t slide sideways, loaded boxes a bit more

Ah you could be right there. But then why do I think you only get 1m projection of load front and back ?

1m is the max allowed without it being marked.

I need to get hold of some marker boards. People keep telling me I can’t shift 12m lengths on our 9.1m truck

make some ...... do 'em double sided .... plenty of holes and a few rings for tying 'em on with ..... for the end board ... a G clamp with a bolt welded to its back, to bolt a board onto it after clamping it to the end of yer load

So if we’re of the opinion that Mogs ok like this, what’s the difference between this and the Marshal low loader carrying the slurry tanker with the over hang??
