Quick question for you guys. Our vehicles are a mix of 13 and 7.5 tonne fridge motors, and one 7.5 tonne flatbed. Do these vehicles require a height marker in the cab? If so, is it sufficient that we note the dimensions ourselves and place a note in the cab?

Cheers

A height plate must be displayed on vehicles over 3 metres high
Failure to do so is a VOSA FPN of £30
