10. ABNORMAL INDIVISIBLE LOADS (AILs)
- Some indivisible loads are abnormal only because of their dimensions and can be carried on standard vehicles.
- Very large/heavy indivisible loads may require vehicles operating under the Road Vehicles (Authorisation of Special Types) General Order 2003.
- The source notes that modern STGO movements are generally completed using specialised articulated vehicles rather than older locomotive-and-trailer combinations.
