Road going forwarder trailer

[tcfengineering]

Here is a pic of our first road going forwarder trailer in action. We have put a lot of work into building this trailer and putting it through its IVA test. Its now working hard and earning its keep and the customer is very happy. We already have the order for the next one, and will start building it in the next few weeks. We can pretty much build these to the customers spec, so if you are interested in one, let us know. We will be building a web page in the next week or so with more information and pictures.

Nice, what's the payload?

Instead of a power pack adding extra weight to the trailer would it be possible to run a dedicated feed from the towing vehicle to power an electric pump?

Or mount a hydraulic pump on vehicle to reduce weight further ? Have lines to connect to valves giving more space ?

My Defender 130 has a built hydraulic pump with 54 lt/min flow rate, so I'd go for an engineless version

What base cost are we talking?

Sorry for the late reply, I was away on a course for the weekend and only just got back to base last night.

 

We probably wont have an off the shelf model with these trailers as so far every one we quote for is slightly different. They are a 3499kg gross weight trailer, and the weight is around 1000kgs, so payload is around 2500kg. You can specify pretty much everything you want, so its no problem to have the powerpack on board the vehicle, or an electric one, or use the vehicles own supply. Obviously the more stuff you put on the trailer, the lower the payload.

 

Price wise it varies a lot depending on what you have and dont have, but as a rough guide, a very basic 2.5m loadbed trailer with crane but no powerpack is starting at £10,000 plus VAT.

 

If you are interested, drop me a PM with your requirements and I can work out an exact price for you.

 

Thanks for the interest, this is a really cool new project for us.
