Do you move mobile homes over 3 meters wide?
Stay the right side of the law
If the width of any mobile home you are moving exceeds 3 meters or its length exceeds 18.75 meters you have a statutory duty to notify all police forces, even if the weight is under 44 tonnes. You should give them two clear working days’ notice before you intend to move which gives the police the chance to ensure the load can safely negotiate the route without causing disruption to other traffic.
If you’re stopped by VOSA or the police without having submitted an abnormal load notification expect a sizeable cost to your business - it is not unusual for the authorities to 'park the vehicle up' while an abnormal load notification is submitted to the relevant authorities. The standard notification period is 2 clear working days. If your vehicle is parked up on a Monday, it may not move again Thursday, missing your delivery deadline. Your driver may receive a fixed penalty and there could be company prosecution if infringements reoccur.
