If the crane is a railway maintenance crane equipped to travel by both road and rail with a lifting capacity exceeding 36.3 tonnes but not exceeding 68 tonnes
This sibling tariff item specifically covers railway maintenance cranes with those characteristics, which are excluded from the 'other' category.
If the crane is not mounted on a motor vehicle chassis and is self-propelled
Self-propelled cranes not mounted on a vehicle chassis may fall under this heading for lifting machinery.
If the chassis is presented without the crane superstructure
A chassis without the crane body would be classified as a motor vehicle chassis, not a special purpose vehicle.
