Dear Mr. Borum:

"would be considered as a "mobile gantry crane."



In other words, it is NOT a mobile gantry crane, but they treat it as
if it was one, since they don't have any seperate rules that only
pertain to a Travelift Hoist.


If it is considered as a mobile gantry crane, how could you then conclude
it
isn't?



That's why the guy had to write for a clarification in the first
place.


Is a Ford F250 pick-up truck a "passenger car"?

In Connecticut, there is a parkway where trucks and commercial vehicles
are not
allowed. The one loophole is that if you have a pick-up truck that you use
either exclusively or partly for non-commercial use, you may apply for a
"combination registration" instead of a commercial registration. What that
means
is that if you are not carrying a commercial load, or displaying
commercial
lettering on the sides, you may drive on the parkway, and you will be
"considered" as a passenger vehicle. Your truck will not actually BE a
passenger vehicle, you will still be driving that same crappy Ford TRUCK.
It
will just be considered to be the same type of vehicle as far as
applicable
laws.


A Ford truck is a vehicle and it can carry passengers.

It is a passenger vehicle, especially so because it can perform in that
capacity.

Cars, such as taxis aren't allowed on the Merritt, Southern State, Sagtikos,
Sunken Meadow, Northern or any other parkway.

Yet a taxi is a passenger vehicle.

It's the fact that a vehicle is commercial that prohibits it from the
parkways. In days of yore, trucks were almost exclusively commercial
vehicles.

Your analogy is not applicable to travel lift cranes.

That is because they can not travel on the parkway. They are not registered
motor vehicles. Even if one was registered, it could not maintain minimum
speed, which is limited by the hull speed of the boat it is carrying.

Are ambulances rushing anemic patients for iron infusion therapy allowed on
the parkway?

Amen!
