Are wheel loaders road legal?
Yes, wheel loaders can be road legal, but they must meet the required regulations for lights, mirrors, brakes, registration and insurance. Many contractors and quarry operators choose road legal specifications so the machine can travel short distances between nearby sites. If you intend to drive a wheel loader on public roads, it must be properly registered and compliant with local legislation. Scot JCB can advise on the correct configuration for your area and application.
