UK crane and platform exemption to end

The UK is preparing legislation to require smaller cranes, truck mounted lifts and other road going specialist equipment, such as concrete pumps to be subject to an annual commercial vehicle road worthiness inspection/MOT test .

The legislation is currently planned for this May 2of this year, but would not come into force until 12 months after publication. Cranes mounted on specialist carriers that currently come under the STGO rules will remain exempt from the requirement. However industry association the CPA is pressing ahead with its voluntary inspection scheme for all cranes.
