Africa-Press – South-Africa. <\/strong><\/span>Two crane drivers were arrested for overloading and reckless driving on their way to Muizenberg on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

The City of Cape Town said the Highway Patrol Unit spotted and stopped the cranes at the corner of Spine and Strandfontein Roads on Tuesday morning.<\/p>\n

Both vehicles had counterweights attached.<\/p>\n

Counterweights prevent a crane from toppling over when it is hoisting something.<\/p>\n

When the cranes were taken to the weighbridge on the N2, it was found to be overloaded by 17 tons each.<\/p>\n

And, to make matters worse, the drivers could not produce permits for the cranes.<\/p>\n

The cranes will stay at the weighbridge until valid permits are produced.<\/p>\n

The City said that, although duty vehicles were commonplace, they had to operate within the law.<\/p>\n
