Small timber trailer.

[Buzz]

When i was living in surrey i saw somebody with an ifor williams looking trailer with a timber crane fitted.

Does anybody know where you can get these from ?? Google just brings up the stupidly over priced riko alpine ones. Ta.

A.C.Price Eng recently mounted small cranes onto 2 x 14' ifor trailers and fitted them with low ground pressure wheels and tyres, may be worth a call.

Ta, I'm looking for an off the shelf soloution because that will be cheaper or i'll do something myself with a hydrulic power pack. I know there is one available just don't know who makes it !!

the stupidly over priced riko alpine ones. Ta.

 

I've been looking at those..something a Landrover could pull at road speeds, but also over rougher ground without wrecking it. The last price list I got from Riko says: trailer £3100, cranes start at £3550, power pack £5-700. What sort of prices would be reasonable for this sort of trailer?

Doesn't Dick robinson do something similar to what your asking for Matt? saw it at the AA fair last year try gooogling robinsons trees.

there is an american firm i found that makes a small bolstered timber trailer with crane and grab/ rotator, operater stands on drawbar and operates controls. not sure how much weight you can put on it as its pretty heavy duty and the americans have different towing regulations etc

saw those trailers in their yard, was tempted to hook one up and drive off, they looked really good setup for small stuff,

If you bought quality used products do you not think you could get an ifor flat bed, power pack and crane & grab and get a decent agricultural engineer to fab a frame and set it up for 5k. Must be cheaper than off the shelf.

 

I have just done a similar thing on an 6 tonne tipping ag trailer, hiab 031 and power pack for under 5K. Ag engineer charged me 1k to balance trailer, add bolsters and strengthen chasis and build frame for hiab
