What is the maximum permitted freight height during bulk transportation?
- The freight should be one meter lower than the height of the wall, to prevent freight dispersion over the road.
- The freight’s height is not important as long as it is covered according to regulations.
- Correct answer: The freight or any part of it should not be higher than the sides of the vehicle or ladders that were legally installed.
- The freight’s height should not be more than 480 cm, and it should be covered.
Why this is the answer
The correct answer in the official bank: The freight or any part of it should not be higher than the sides of the vehicle or ladders that were legally installed.
With bulk freight such as sand, gravel or soil, the vehicle's sides keep the load from spilling onto the road. So no part of the freight may rise above the sides or above legally installed ladders. Covering the load does not permit piling it higher, and there is no rule requiring the freight to be one meter below the top of the sides.
