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 . . .
Quote:
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).

Quote:
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.
