What is MOT Type 1?
MOT Type 1
MOT Type 1 consists of pieces of granite, crushed concrete or limestone which has been broken down into small, uneven pieces. Each chunk of MOT stone contained in a Mot Type 1 bulk bag ranges in size from 40mm at the largest down to size of a grain of sand. This mixture of different sized chunks makes MOT Type 1 easily compressed and increases its load bearing abilities due to the minimal voids in the material. MOT Type 1 is often used with a sand blinding.
In order to be classed as MOT Type 1 (also known as DOT Type 1) it must meet the Type 1 quality specifications (known as Clause 803) laid out by the Ministry of Transport. This designates it as the minimum quality material to be used for the construction of roads and motorways in the UK.
HGS Southern provides MOT Type 1 in 1 tonne increments (actual weight may vary depending on moisture content)
