Alloy arb chip box.

[Ty Korrigan]

Hello,

 Does anyone know the approximate weight of an all alluminium chipbox?

Size 3m x 2m x 1.4m

 Cheers.

with roof?

[Ty Korrigan]

Ah, there you have me.

Here in French-istan they tend to use tarps so the box is more multi functional.

I was thinking of a box with a deflector flap only.

Cheers

Assuming you are meaning using the ally planking it'll be around 150kg for front, 2 sides and 1m high barn doors

[Ty Korrigan]

Hello and thanks for that, good info.

 I'm looking for the weight of the entire unit if possible.

Cheers

 Ty

The weights for various materials such as the planking, flooring, capping etc can be found in the road traffic catalogue pdf from service metals if that's any help

Hello Coletti,

May I press your for your opinion on an alloy floor 'v' steel?

Obviously no dropping chogs into it but in weight terms, worth while?

I think for chip it would be more than okay and would certainly mean a bit of a weight saving but if you intend to be chucking logs in, as you say, maybe not so good. Just depends on what you are wanting it for really

Fwiw, my trailer has alloy floor, the only dent ive managed to put in was dropping a 3.5meter, 80cm diameter ash stem with a bulge, from about 40cm

Josh, does your alloy floor have a timber underfloor?
