Longer Semi Trailers (LSTs): Haul More, Reduce Fleet Holding

Why Longer Semi-Trailers?

Longer Semi-Trailers (LST's) are up to 2.050m longer than a standard 13.6m trailer and can carry 15% greater capacity than their standard length counterparts.

Well suited to light and medium freight operators, the additional cube will reduce delivery frequency, cut down on fuel costs and lower CO2 emissions.

From 31st May 2023, Longer Semi Trailers (LSTs) can be operated on UK roads

A newly amended Road Vehicles (Authorisation of Special Types) (General) Order 2023 allows operators to run LSTs on pre-planned routes with some operational caveats.

The LST trial, which ran from January 2012, ended on 29th February 2024.
