Description

B60P covers vehicles specifically designed or adapted to transport specialized cargo, including tankers, flatbeds, refrigerated vehicles, and carriers for hazardous materials, livestock, or oversized loads. This classification encompasses structural modifications, mounting systems, and specialized compartments that enable safe and efficient handling of particular load types. It includes both the vehicle platform design and integrated features such as securing mechanisms, temperature control, or containment systems tailored to specific cargo requirements. Adjacent classes B60D (vehicle suspension and shock-absorbers) and B60N (seats, vehicle fittings) address general vehicle components rather than load-specific adaptations.
