Waka Kotahi NZ Transport Agency (NZTA) is drawing a line in the sand from October 1; all mobile cranes that use a public road at any time are subject to Road User Charges (RUCs).
It comes off the back of a year-long collaboration between the Crane Association of NZ (CANZ) and NZTA to lift the inconsistencies, ambiguity, and inequity regarding RUC’s calculation and costs.

To ensure similar errors are not repeated, a fact sheet has been developed by both organisations to provide the clarified rules and registration process. The fact sheet defines every variety of mobile crane, what RUC category they fall within including examples, and explains permits, the hubodometer exempt process and special RUC rates.

According to the company’s case study, various site constraints meant the position available to locate the system was limited to an area under the supermarket loading dock and truck access-way.
