Attention All VCM Operators! Are You Aware Of The Updated Guidance Around Load Security?

Construction News Image
The legislation has changed, and now, more than ever, it is crucial to ensure that your VCM is compliant.

The load in a VCM must not be above the vehicle’s sides and must be sheeted when used on the public road. Failure to comply could result in severe penalties, such as fines or even vehicle prohibitions.

Don’t take any chances with your load security – trust the experts at IHS UK Ltd. We offer a convenient drive-in, drive-out service for the supply and fitting of sheeting systems. With our new partnership with Transcover, we can offer you a fixed price of £1850 for the supply and fitment (price will increase if bespoke bracketry needs to be manufactured). All we need is your truck for one full day, and we’ll take care of the rest.

Recent incidents have shown that load security is not something to be taken lightly. In one incident, a vehicle was given an immediate prohibition until the load was sheeted, and the driver received a £150 fine. Don’t let this happen to you – get in touch with IHS UK Ltd today to ensure that you are compliant with the latest volumetric legislation.
