Ainscough was heavily involved in looking at what equipment the crane can carry and what has to go on the ballast wagons within our STGO regulations.

This is an interesting facet, as the STGO regulations specifically state 'indivisible' loads, so, in theory, the weights should be divided into loads that either fall within C&U (44 tonnes) or single weights rather than carrying a set of weights . . .
An abnormal indivisible load (AIL) must not be capable of being divided into smaller parts which could then be carried on vehicles that comply with the Construction and Use Regulations (C&U regs).
a load that cannot without undue expense or risk of damage be divided into two or more loads for the purpose of being carried on a road, and that-
a) owing to its dimensions, cannot be carried on a motor vehicle (N3 motor vehicle) or trailer (O4 vehicle) or a combination of such vehicles that complies in all respects with Part 2 of the Construction and Use Regulations; or
b) On account of its weight, cannot be carried on a heavy motor vehicle at category N3 or a trailer at category 04 or a combination of such vehicles that complies in all respects with -
i) the Authorised weight Regulations (or, if those Regulations do not apply, the equivalent provisions in Part 4 of the Construction and Use Regulations); and
ii) part 2 of the Construction and Use Regulations.

Those regulations cover the crane itself.
What about the accessories?
