Facts
A company was observed travelling in a prime mover towing an extendable heavy trailer, which was loaded with a crane gantry beam. The vehicle was intercepted, and the load inspected. It was revealed that the vehicle was travelling over the prescribed dimension limits. The company did not have a permit for the return trip. Accordingly, the dimensions were assessed against the statutory limits. The allowed length was 19m. The length of the vehicle was 33.5m, an excess length of 14.5m. The allowed width was 2.5m. The width of the vehicle was 2.75m, an excess width of 250mm. A permit would have allowed for a length of 45m and a width of 3.5m. The vehicle was about to cross a railway just prior to the intercept. It was revealed that the company failed to obtain permission to cross the railway. There were a total of 2 pilot vehicles. One of the pilots was not a certified level 2 pilot vehicle driver. There needed to be a minimum of 3 certified pilot vehicles to be used. The company had no prior convictions.
