Bad news with Boxer

[Nick Connell]

Having just had my boxer stolen I was looking into the possibility of getting a new one. The bad news is that they are no longer making them CE certified so won't be able to sell into the Uk. 🙈

 

What's next any ideas?

Was told 2 years ago there was a problem with CE, maybe when we leave EU we will be able a import them .

Import your own

[Goaty]

Yes import your own. It's a different scale of things but I use an atom drill chainsaw attachment from oz. it's non CE. It's better than the CE ones I've seen maybe not as safe with guarding. But the kickback is much less from what I've seen.

Buy you own and use it yourself. Them Belle engined wheelbarrows are awful, unsteady back breaking , shoulder wrenching to steer. But they've got CE. Would I use one? Not likely.

What's the issues with them.or is it just euro BS.

[Goaty]

It costs to get CE Approval and they usually want something modifying . Which in a factory can be expensive to implement. Do you do the whole production line to same spec? Or do batches for certain markets.

It could be something daft like working at height of the ground without a seat restraint and no provision for an alternative as an example.

It's there for everyone's safety and product conformity, but like any regs it can cause hinderance.

Remember reading something about vibration from them was one thing.

To be pedantic, there is no such thing as CE approval...

 

Manufacturers Can declare CE conformity, meaning they reckon it meets all the relevant specs and regs, but there is no test, no approving body etc.

CE Marking is time consuming and expensive. As said it also means a manufacturer has to modify their equipment.
