  • If wagons (guard, dummy, tool, water) are attached to the crane for safety or work, extra haulage charges apply, based on wagon type, with a minimum charge for certain distances.
  • If a crane demand is cancelled after the crane leaves the depot, full haulage charges are collected (including empty haulage).
  • If the demand is cancelled after the crane reaches the working station, full haulage charges will be collected. This includes the crane charge for one hour.
  • If more than one crane is needed, charges are calculated separately.
  • If crane is used in a siding, siding charges apply.
  • Charges are collected at working stations.
  • Formulas for haulage charge calculations are provided using rate, distance, and number of wagon types (e.g., empty haulage = Rate × Distance × Number of Dummy Wagons × 2).
