Heavy Vehicle Modifications - changes with the roll out of the National Heavy Vehicle Law

ARTSA members need to be aware of the rules and regulations regarding heavy vehicle modifications. In the September issue of Trailer Magazine, ARTSA will publish an article on Heavy Vehicle Modifications and the changes that will occur with the roll out of the National Heavy Vehicle Law as of 1st October 2013

This article makes it clear as to the responsibilities of parties, the equipment covered and the approval process. It also notes that for a variety of reasons, this process is often not followed. ARTSA members should study this document carefully and advise any parties that you deal with as to the proper process, as well as ensuring that you also observe the law. Fines for non compliance are $3000.

ARTSA also makes the point that the current process needs simplifying and that signatory recognition and insurance requirements need to change. ARTSA has made representation to the NHVR and a number of jurisdictions urging this to occur. We will continue to advocate for this change.
