Iveco with 027 hiab and grab weight??

[stewie]

Anyone know what they weigh empty?? Been looking at buying one with a full alloy back but the guy says he doesn't know the weight of it empty even tho he has done scrap in it for last for years lol think I know why he don't want to tell me tbh!

What iveco? I'm assuming 3.5t if so with a hiab payload will be your lunchbox ..... legally that is ![emoji12]

I looked at one with a hiab and tipp, 3,5t total weight, had all of 200kg load weight

Cheers josh that's what I thought! I'm looking to set up a small business in waste removal and for soil, hardcore etc a small grab would be perfect but all the ones I see are just to heavy! I dont need it to lift a tonne just a couple if wheelbarrow's full each grab would be plenty so surely there must be something out there that's not far to over matched for the truck!??

I doubt it v much for what your wanting to do you need at least a 6.2t, soil and rubble for a start are v heavy and a little hiab is pointless as it won't lift anything

I was amazed at how little 2ton of soil looked on my Ifor tipper

 

Agree with Ian, you need the 6,5t version to have a chance at staying legal

1m3 of dry soil weighs 1.2 tons  and if you get a ton of hardcore in builders bag it is only about 3/4 m3
