Re: STGO
STGO= Special Types General Orders!
Cat 1 is mostly for oversized rather than heavy loads!
Cat 2 and 3 require a minimum of 6 to 8 axleswith maximum axles weights of 12.5 or 16.5 tonnes respectively!

Re: STGO
ahh thanks all, so i guess that the more axles you have on a lorry the heavier the weight they can carry
and is that counting just the axles on the trailer or is that including the tractor unit aswell??

it is, heavy haulage is the easiest target for arrogant police officers to "get" their statistics up for so called motoring offences. regardless of movement orders etc, some just see a big load as easy prey. they ought try the job. roads are bad enough being full of idiots without thier hassle. in my opinion and experiance, unfortunaltly the majority of the law give them a bad reputation.
