Truck trailer and chipper rig?

[woody paul]

Tony Turner, the chairman of GreenMech once towed a special built trailer which carried a woodchippers and could tow another woodchippers to Spain behind his Range Rover!

 

Diffrent regs abroad

Nothing's perfect, but that would be a very good way of staying legal. Plus the 4x4 capabilities would allow you to get into more places, especially if chipping onto the floor. And a decent chip bin trailer could give you an 8 cube capacity and still be legal.

 

Not on that truck, 6ton gtw.

 

That truck and chipper combo must weight 3ton with gear and people + 1.3-1.4 for the trailer. Which gives about 1.7ish on the trailer. More like 5 cube. If it was done with a defender 110 or 130 the weights would work out better.

You can solve the 'backing into driveway' issue by putting a tow ball on the front bumper then you can back in, chip over the roof into the trailer and Robert is the brother of one of your parents!

Precisely, that's clever but a nightmare to feed.

Seems like agg, just keep it simple tow the chipper behind the tipper,

 

The truck with a chipper bolted to it looks a bit daft too it's a wast of a truck as it's only good for one job now and if eather truck or chipper brake down or need services etc there both out of action

 

I have seen a chipper fixed to the back of lorry think it was about 12 tonner it had a 3 way tipper body and was towing a high sided tipper trailer looked good set up

Bandit do a mean chipper tipper combo ..

 

Chipper and tip trailer on the same chassis ....... They call them chip box combos if Im not mistaken .

You'd be best to talk to Ifor Williams. I doubt that they've started to make trailers specifically to take a rear hitch, anyone that's nailed one on probably needs to head for an IVA test. A little TW chipper isn't physically too bad, but it could all get out of hand on the road very quickly. A chap locally used to take an empty Ifor to site behind his Wood Mizer, it was quite a rig
