e) the extra side markers required by this subparagraph shall also meet the requirements of (i), (iii) and (v) of Due to the height of most road bridges a vehicle and its load should not exceed a height of 5.03m. This is the normal maximum clearance under highway bridges in the UK. Regulation 100 (2) of the Road Vehicles (Construction and Use) Regulations 1986 (as amended), requires all vehicles to not be used or loaded in such a way that they endanger either those using the vehicle or other road users. Further information on the safety of loads can be found in DfT’s information sheet on the Safety of loads. 7. Legal information Another point the load can make a difference, I took a low Euroliner through a particularly very low bridge years ago in Sheffield once, it was mm.s clearance, I watched it through with head and shoulders out of window and just got it under.

Q: Why do I need to measure the height of an HGV vehicle? A: Measuring the height of an HGV vehicle is important to ensure that it meets the maximum height requirements for clearance on roads, bridges, tunnels, and other infrastructure. It helps prevent accidents caused by collisions with low bridges, overhead obstacles, or other height-restricted areas. v) it is clearly visible within a reasonable distance to a person using the road at the end of the vehicle from which the projection extends; The table below is a summary of the requirements applicable to front and rear overhanging loads set out in regulation 82(7) of the Road Vehicles (Construction and Use) Regulations 1986 ( C&U), as amended. Length of projection The requirements relating to loads that overhang the front, rear or sides of vehicles are set out in regulations 81 and 82 of the Road Vehicles (Construction and Use) Regulations 1986 ( C&U), as amended. This information sheet provides an overview of the main requirements, but for the definitive requirements, the regulations themselves should be consulted. Details of how to obtain the C&U regulations can be found further down this information sheet. 1. Loads overhanging the front or rear of the vehicleMust admit I considered the approach of using trig from the comfort of the cab, but you'd have to be able to see the peak of the uneven load from two adjacent sides (peaks occurring toward the middle of the container and which only modestly exceed the height of the container, may not be visible on two adjacent sides at any reasonable distance), the peak would have to be occluded by the container at not-too-close an angle (i.e. if the peak is near to the edge of the container and clearly exceeds the height of the container even at close range, so that it is only occluded at an angle close to 90 degrees, then it would have to be measured directly to avoid an excessive margin of error), and you'd have to take all observations on a completely level area (because you have no tools capable of correcting for uneven ground), and the top of the container itself would still have to measured and would have to be completely level around its perimeter relative to the ground (or be measured at all the points where it coincides with the lines of observation). Some people in the industry might possibly believe you have produced a good video for the LGV world, but from my stand-point it needs more detail. Something as thorough as the Fawcett/Long video would be more impressive. iv) it, and any means by which it is fitted to the projection, impedes the view of the driver as little as possible, and There are instances where an HGV might be subjected to an effective reduction of the height clearance, notably where a road slopes down towards a bridge or other overhead obstruction. The clearance for HGV height may also change with the raising or lowering of the mid-lift axle. ii) when another motor vehicle is used for the purpose of assisting in their propulsion on the road, the person or persons employed in driving that other motor vehicle shall not be treated as a person or persons employed in attending to the first mentioned vehicle or any vehicle or vehicles drawn thereby. 3.

This telescopic height pole folds down and fits neatly into a case complete with detailedinstructions on use. View the Instructions of Use (attached).Road vehicles are generally less than 4.5m tall however there are instances where vehicle height exceeds this, notably when a tipper is raised or when a load protrudes above the top line of the vehicle.
