| description | The answer was clear: rigorously enforced axle loading limits make it impossible, in many markets, to offer all three of these taxi crane characteristics in one crane. Capacity and reach are technical problems that crane manufacturers are well able to tackle; readability is a regulatory problem that crane owners must face up to. Owners shouldn't just accept the regulations as they stand. While there may be a need for tight limits on normal goods vehicles, cranes should be treated differently. Just focussing on axle limits means cranes must be longer, increasing congestion. Trucks aim to spend as much time as possible on the road, and work in a standard configuration; cranes aim to spend as much time as possible at the job site, and require a flexible design. Regulations should reflect this difference. |
