sch.8-sec.14 Towing a low loader dolly with an unladen low loader

An unladen low loader must not be towed in a combination with a low loader dolly unless— the combination is 2.5m wide or less or the combination is a safer freight combination; and it would be unreasonable to require the dolly to be loaded onto the low loader because of the short distance to be travelled, or special difficulties in loading or unloading the dolly due to the nature of the location where the loading or unloading is to take place. In this section— safer freight combination means a combination that includes a safer freight vehicle, together with its load, that is the only component vehicle wider than 2.5m. sch 8 s 14 amd 2024 SL No. 36 s 6 (sch.8-sec.14-ssec.1) An unladen low loader must not be towed in a combination with a low loader dolly unless— the combination is 2.5m wide or less or the combination is a safer freight combination; and it would be unreasonable to require the dolly to be loaded onto the low loader because of the short distance to be travelled, or special difficulties in loading or unloading the dolly due to the nature of the location where the loading or unloading is to take place.
