Lorry Configuration definition
Lorry Configuration. The road has a weak surface and has suffered edge damage through previous use. Lower impact vehicles, such as those highlighted in the Timber Transport Forum’s Tread Softly publication, are therefore the preferred option. The lower impact system being used on this route is subject to review if damage to the road becomes evident.
Lorry Configuration. The C10 north of POL Depot is subject to a weight restriction traffic order, restricting vehicles to a maximum 18t GVM unless subject to exemption. This section of road is subject to a trial of CTI configured Timber vehicles. #Due to the geometry of the road, only Wagon and Drag configurations with six wheel trailer and double or “maxi-tyre” configuration, up to a maximum loaded weight of 44tonnes are permitted during the trial period. Only vehicles carrying specific exemption notices are permitted to travel north of POL Depot. Applications must be made to Argyll and Bute Council for each period of operation and each vehicle programmed to operate on this road.
Lorry Configuration. Due to the alignment, width of carriageway and limited structural strength of this road, only the specified low ground pressure tractor and trailer configuration with multiple axles and central load spreading wheels is consented for timber haulage. Super single tyres are prohibited.
