What hiab for 7.5 ton vehicle?

[simonm]

What cranes are others using on their tippers? i dont want something massive as its going to eat into payload, only ever seen palfinger ones .

Any crane on a 7.5 tonner is going to seriously eat into your payload.

It does but I haven't had to ring a tree up and load it by hand in years.

Mr Huck is right but the 250kg they use up is worth it, there is an 031 on my ten tonner that punches well past its weight and what it wont lift on it can drag over the side.

That's what i am talking about, a sensible size...true bigger would be better but not on a vehicle this size.

 

I didn't realise that some are fairly light.

You don't need bigger, this lifts a ton, perfect for your domestic trees. Anything bigger then the mog comes out.

IMO, for domestic work reach is key, so you need a larger crane. You may only wish to lift 500KG, but when that 500KG is 8meters away it takes a bit of lifting.
