Where I work they don’t care they expect you to struggle through.
I drive a class 2 if can’t get to place I ring tell them. All they say is every house or factory has a bin. So if a bin wagon can get there so can you.

You might want to explain to them that there are various sizes of bin wagon. Our road has to have a shorty, probably 10t, one because of a narrow gap with the gables of a house either side at an odd angle to each other. You can get a 7.5t /18t up to about 7.5m long through with mirrors folded in, anything longer no. The advice about getting out and checking is sound but, once you start through you cannot open the doors :exclamation:

Many bin wagons also have rear or mid wheel steering meaning they have a much tighter turning circle which is particularly useful for reversing off narrow roads. The slight downside is that you get a lot of rear end swing on opposite side to which you are turning when going forward.
