Lorry Configuration. The use of individual 6 or 8 wheeled vehicles with twin wheel or maxi tyre units, CTI equipped preferably. Running to a secondary loading point adjacent to A816 would be preferred. The council must be consulted on the use of alternative haulage and vehicle configuration.
Lorry Configuration. The geometry of the road allows the use of articulated trailers but only twin wheel configurations are permitted. The use of super single tyres is not acceptable. Preferred option would be 3 axle wagon and drag at 44 tonnes GVW, with twin or maxi tyre units fitted, ideally equipped with CTI technology.
Lorry Configuration. Only wagon and drag configurations with six wheel trailer and double or “maxi-tyre” configuration, up to a maximum loaded weight of 44 tonnes are permitted. Lorries fitted with CTI are preferred for timber haulage on this road. The use of super single tyre units is prohibited. Frequency & Timing: The time between loaded vehicles travelling on this road should be no less than one hour, maximum of six vehicles per day, to allow a degree of carriageway recovery. Operations are planned for 5 days per week. At the programmed rate of production, haulage shall not exceed 30 loads per week or 6 loads per day. Timber haulage on this road should only occur from April – October avoiding the winter period, and at no more than the scheduled rate of despatch. Hauliers wishing to increase this frequency or vary timings should consult with the A&BC Technical Officer for Oban, Lorn and the Isles listed in contacts on the webpage. An assessment of the road and weather conditions, in conjunction with any proposed mitigation measures such as CTI, will determine suitability of an increase in load frequency. Any timber remaining after agreed dates will require further consultation with the Roads Dept. prior to movement, and at a further reduced rate if necessary.
Lorry Configuration. Only Wagon and Drag configurations with six wheel trailer and double or “maxi- tyre” configuration, up to a maximum loaded weight of 44 tonnes are permitted. Vehicles equipped with CTI or equivalent low ground pressure systems are preferred for timber haulage on this road. The use of super singles is not permitted. Frequency & Timing: The time between loaded vehicles travelling on this road shall be no less than one hour, a maximum of six vehicles per day, to allow a degree of carriageway recovery. Operations are planned for 5 days per week (to a maximum of 30 loads per week, unless otherwise agreed in writing by the Council Officer.} Hauliers wishing to increase this frequency should consult with the A&BC Technical Officer for Cowal & Bute listed in contacts on the webpage. An assessment of the road and weather conditions, in conjunction with any proposed mitigation measures such as CTI, will determine suitability of an increase in load frequency. Seasonal & Weather Condition Restrictions: Timber haulage on this road shall only occur from April - October avoiding the winter period and at no more than the scheduled rate of despatch. This means that, if for any reason, any timber remains after that date there should be further consultation with the Roads Dept. prior to its movement, at a further reduced rate if necessary.
Lorry Configuration. Due to the short distance of affected road and the proximity to Ardrishaig Pier, haulage by standard articulated vehicles is acceptable but CTI equipped vehicles, with double wheel or Maxi tyres would be preferable. Frequency & Timing: Loaded vehicles should not leave the forest at an interval less than 1 hour. Operators wishing to increase this frequency should consult with the A&BC Technical Officer for Mid- Argyll and Xxxxxxx listed in contacts on the webpage.
Lorry Configuration. The Ardteatle road is narrow with tight bends which make the use of articulated trailers unacceptable. The use of one individual 6 wheeled vehicle and drag using low tyre pressures, CTI, running to a secondary loading point adjacent to A819 will be permitted. All HGV traffic is prohibited beyond the first 100m of Monument Hill Road, towards Dalmally. Signs must be placed on the road side to remind haulage drivers and machine operators of this.
Lorry Configuration. Due to the short distance and use of a secondary loading point, this operation can be delivered using one vehicle. A single “wagon and drag” self-loading unit, preferably equipped with CTI would be the most sympathetic to the geometry of the B842.
Lorry Configuration. The geometry of the road allows the use of articulated trailers but only twin wheel configurations are permitted. No super-single tyre units to be used. Frequency & Timing: The minimum time between loaded vehicles leaving the forest will be 30 minutes. Due consideration must be given to avoiding opposing Timber Traffic on C57 at all times.
Lorry Configuration. Due to the alignment, width of carriageway and limited structural strength of this road, only wagon and drag configurations with six wheel trailer and double or “maxi-tyre” configuration, up to a maximum loaded weight of 44 tonnes are permitted. Lorries fitted with CTI are preferred for timber haulage on this road. The use of super single tyre units is prohibited. Lorry configuration on this route may be subject to review if damage to the road becomes evident.
Lorry Configuration. This road has a thin construction which has been susceptible to deformation in the past causing damage to the surface. Lorries fitted with CTI is the preferred option on standard 3 axle wagon and drag 44 tonnes GVW. Where CTI is not available, standard vehicles may be used but due regard must be given to swept paths and the risk of edge damage to the road. All units must utilise twin or maxi tyres with the use of super single tyre units prohibited.
