”Guide of Best Practices in abnormal transport (second draft) European Comission Directorate-General for Energy and Transport” • erikoiskuljetusmääritelmät yhtenäiseksi • erikoiskuljetusperävaunuille yhtenäinen rekisteri – SERT dokumentti • (katsastus omassa maassa riittää) • yhtenäiset hakemuslomakkeet • yhtenäiset vaatimukset saatoille – saattoautoille • minimiajat lupien käsittelyyn – ( Suomessa käsittely nopeinta Euroopassa) • erikoiskuljetuskäytävät Eurooppaan • pitkäaikaislupia tietyille mitoille ja massoille Eurooppaan
Chapter Permits • Services • Office hours, One stop shopping • Long term permits • Application forms: which elements should be in-/excluded • Reduce delay in granting permits
A long term permit for transports on motorways / high capacity roads: • Width: < 4 m • Length: < 32 m, if extendable and provided with steered axles • Height: < 4.25 m • Weight: < 80/100 tonnes • Axle loads: 12 tonnes on beam axles, 16 tonnes in one line of two pendulum axles
Mobile cranes • 12 tonnes per axle • Weight < 72 tonnes without a permit • Length < 20 meter without a permit • Ballast truck trailer: same regime as crane • 72 – 100 tonnes: long term permit
Finally • Other ESTA wishes: corridors, SERT • Marking/signalling • When is this document ready? • How can ESTA influence the final version?
