Route for a mobile crane

Self-propelled machine

The RDW calls a commercial vehicle that is mainly equipped for work other than transport a self-propelled machine (rijdend werktuig); a mobile crane is one. The annual exemption is issued on the crane itself. The length comes from the vehicle register, the weight is the number of axles times 12,000 kg, up to 100,000 kg. If the crane is heavier than 100,000 kg, only a one-off exemption is possible.

Only on green roads

An annual exemption only applies on the roads that are green in the Digital Exemptions Road Map when you enter the dimensions and weight of the crane there. If the route is not completely green, you apply for a one-off exemption for that one route. Above 50,000 kg you show that the vehicle can carry the weight.

How to plan the trip

Under Dimensions and weight, choose abnormal load and enter the height, width, length and weight of the crane. Truckroute then plans only over roads where the RDW can grant an exemption for those dimensions, up to 100 tonnes. The exemption and the DWO remain binding.
