Longer Semi Trailers (LSTs) | Up to 8 More Pallets

What Are Longer Semi-Trailers?

Longer Semi-Trailers (LST's), now legal to use on UK roads, are up to 2.050m longer than a standard 13.6m trailer (up to 15.65m) and can carry up to 60 UK pallets (15% greater volume) than their standard length counterparts.

A tractor unit coupled to an LST must not exceed a length of 18.55m in total.

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