4m max height in the UK and it wouldnt happen, no need for anything to be over that height…
There is a need for it. We have 15’10 trailers and often stuff when double stacked is right up to a few inches off the roof. 4m max height would mean it wouldn’t be able to be double stacked meaning 2 artics would need to be on the road for 52 pallets rather than 1.
It doesn’t need a max height of 4m. It needs drivers to…
- not use car sat navs
- read the road signs if you are using a car or truck sat nav
- if using a truck sav make sure correct height is put in
- know the height of the truck/trailer
- set height indicator to that height
- check all sat nav or google routes with a proper map showing bridge heights
- don’t chance it just because someone else told you your 15 foot trailer would go under a 14’9 bridge.
With all the obver followed there is nothing wrong with high trailers.
