The Road Freight Association (RFA) yesterday welcomed the decision by the Department of Transport to commit to a moratorium on High Cube containers. The moratorium - in the form of a blanket exemption for all operators carrying ISO containers that will have an effect on the overall height of any vehicle exceeding 4.3 meters - was signed by Minister of Transport, S’busiso Ndebele, and published in the Government Gazette of September 20 this year.
This exemption is, however, only effective for the next seven years to 01 January 2019. In a communiqué to its members the RFA said it would continue in its efforts to have the regulation changed for a permanent allowance of this height.
