Where goods are loaded on motor vehicles, charges at classified rates will apply to such goods.

  1. Loading, Unloading, and Sheeting—The department may require loading, unloading, roping and covering of motor vehicles to be performed by the owner. When a motor vehicle is loaded and/or unloaded by the department a charge of $1.25 per vehicle (including roping) will be made for each handling irrespective of whether the vehicle is handled by crane or driven on and/or off the railway wagon.

  2. Where the department’s tarpaulins are used to cover motor vehicles the provisions of section 98 will apply.

  3. Conditions—Motor vehicles charged with petrol or other motor spirit may be accepted for conveyance by rail only if the petrol connections are tight and the petrol is cut off between the supply tank and the carburettor. The department may decline to convey any such vehicle unless all the petrol is removed therefrom. Motor vehicles which are not fitted with pumps or “cut-off” cocks between the tank and the carburettor will not be accepted for conveyance unless all motor spirit has been removed from the tanks.

  4. Liability—Motor vehicles conveyed under the provisions of this section are carried at owner’s risk, and the provisions of section 110 shall apply thereto and to any equipment recognised as the ordinary equipment of a motor vehicle, including such articles as spare parts, wheels, tyres, and tools, attached to or contained in a motor vehicle received for carriage. When request is made for carriage at railway risk, particulars of such equipment must be set out on the consignment note, and such equipment and other readily detachable accessories must be locked in the vehicle or packed in a separate package.
