What is an Abnormal Load?
The Construction and Use (C&U) Regulations provide the basic law by which normal motor vehicles and trailers (up to a maximum of 40 tonnes) are built and operate on the road. The movement of large or heavy loads and cranes that exceed dimensions set down in the C&U Regulations is permitted provided they comply with Special Types General Orders (STGO). These are generally referred to as Abnormal Loads.
