• According to GB Tachopak, imminent legislation will require many more heavy goods vehicles to be fitted with an in-cab vehicle height indicator. This, it says, is designed to help cut the £8m-worth of damage caused annually by more than 1,000 "bridge bashing incidents and contacts with other structures. Previous legislation demanded that vehicles exceeding 3.66m in overall height should display this information, in feet and inches, prominently within the cab. The new requirement will lower the limit to 3m, which will bring many box-bodied rigids, curtainsiders and semi-trailers into the scope of the legislation.
GB Tachopak's kit contains feet and inch numerals allowing heights between 10ft and 17ft 11 in to be displayed. It can be mounted within the cab and easily changed. Contact: 01472 210102.
