What should be assessed in relation to the height restrictions for transporting metal coils?

The assessment of height restrictions for transporting metal coils must focus on the height of both the vehicle and the load. This is crucial because the overall height can impact clearance under bridges, overpasses, and overhead power lines. Transport regulations often specify maximum height limits that include both the vehicle's structure and any cargo loaded onto it.

By only considering the height of the coils or just the trailer alone, one may potentially overlook whether the total load exceeds legal height limits, which could result in safety hazards or legal infractions during transport. Additionally, evaluating just the height of surrounding buildings is not relevant as it does not directly affect the conditions under which the vehicle will navigate, which is critical for ensuring safe transport of the metal coils. Thus, a holistic approach that includes both the vehicle and the load is essential for compliance and safety in transportation.
