What trailer for Arb work ? (Affordable & not Ifor W)

[James905]

So here is my next problem that's taking lots of brain space with not much result!!

 

What trailer would you recommend for Arb work?!

 

The obvious is Ifor Williams tipper but ITS MEGA EXPENSIVE!!!

And I simply can't afford it even though I know it will last forever and hold it's value.

 

So what is our there that's actually affordable?

 

(Will be towing with pickup truck)

I have a 10x5. Yeah it's an ifor but any make will do.

It doesn't tip but means I can load it with logs and milled timber, then if I need to chip into it just add some ply boards and chip away.

Takes 10mins to shovel it out but I'm in no rush.

What's your budget?

[Matthew Storrs]

Look at Bateson or Nugent , from what I have seen they look like really good quality. Are you buying new? I wouldn't say that IW were much dearer when new but perhaps hold their value better than other makes.

 

Iv just had a Ifor Williams nicked, possibly more likely than other makes, who knows.

I had one of these for a while tipper trailers ¦ tipping trailer ¦ flat bed trailers York ¦ box trailer West Sussex ¦ heavy tipper Yorkshire

 

Towed very nicely behind my Navara. Tom D had it off me in the end.

I'd tend to agree with both those points

[IRE David H]

used ifor williams or murphys,

i got used murphy 8x4 for a grand, with rails and a tailgate, ramp, galvanized.came from a neighbor, and is straight, only downside, had to get someone to raise the ramps as i couldn't get my mower over

[IRE David H]

I use it moving stuff from time to time, i also used it this summer to carry 7 trailers full of firewood, i am lucky to have my granddad at home, so myself and my dad would go off with the murphy trailer, fill it with firewood, bring the trailer home, take it off the van, put on another trailer fill that and get three loads a day, by the time i had one filled, the other would be emptied.

I`ve not got the prices to hand, but the other week I had prices on both an Ifor Williams and nugent tipper, like for like spec and the Ifor was cheaper.

The price of IW trailers is mind boggling found a second hand GH 94 at a dealers and they wanted £200 less then a new one at another dealers.
