Enquiry on goods height for lorry

[Turbonetics]

may i know is there a height limit of the goods for a 10FT lorry?

iam looking to buy a open top lorry but the height of my goods is about 1.7m in pallet form but will not exceed the weight limit.

is height a concern or only weight or both?

thanks.

10 ft lorry the cabin height was around 2.0 meter.

If enter basement / MSCP carparks of HDB just nice but not condo & shopping Centre carpark (Condo / shopping centre usually 1.8 to 1.9 meter)

Payload for 10 ft was 1.5 ton for G-Plates & Y-Plate 1.8 to 2 tons.

[Trafficwatch]

10 ft truck (i used to drive my company trucks of 10 & 14 ft), best to consider:-

- Toyota Dyna (G-plates : 1.5 ton & Y-plate 2 tons payload) -- choice 2 (parts slight more expensive than Cabstar but still reasonable but used truck engine noise little higher than Cabstar

 

- Nissan Cabstar (G-plates: 1.5 tons & Y-plates 1.8 tons) - choice 1 (cheap spare parts & quieter engine nosies than Dyna)

 

- Mitsubishi Canter wise 14 ft better but not 10 ft

 

- Isuzu NPR: not advise-able as engine noises quite rough & parts quite expensive

 

 

10 ft Y-Plates personnel name can purchase no need company registration.

 

Goods height limit: advise-able not exceed 2.5 metre from ground (road) and make sure full secure with ropes or belts with shrinking wrapping of pallet (s).

1.7m on top of the deck should be no problem but please secure it properly. I always carry about 1.8m of goods. Use the ratchet tie down, I used 2 when carrying tall stuff.

Can driver load up 4m high cargo on a 10ft lorry?

[Trafficwatch]

NO, too tall as CG of truck changed & may over-turn.

I am actually interested to know the legal height limit, if any.

total height cargo with truck is 4.5m ... any height more need police escort..

 

nothing more den 5meter if wan to pass through overhead bridges..

 

anything more den 5 meter need to avoid all bridges along e way...

The legal height limit for a 10ft lorry will never be 4.5m. It's simply too high. The puny lorry will sway left and right like a boat when on the road.

You're wrong ! That only applied to 24 ft truck / primer mover or trailers and NOT for 10 ft nor 14 ft truck !

Basically it shall not exceed 30% of lorry bed to cabin height as per announcement made by LTA 1 yr to 2 ago.

do u mean that 30% of lorry bed is (10FT x 30%)+10FT=13FT or 3.96m?

 

can u please explain in detail "shall not exceed 30% of lorry bed to cabin height"?

thanks.

Want to have confirm answer, go ask those who make metal shelter for trucks. If I'm not wrong, from truck bed upwards abt 2metre. Even for 1 to stand up straight in the bed.

HI GOOD MORNING TO ALL, 

 

I NEED SOME ADVICE URGENTLY BASED ON WHERE CAN I PARK A 14 FT LORRY AT PASIR PANJANG?

THANK YOU.
