Most suitable Ifor Williams plant trailer ?

[monkeybusiness]

I’ll measure the width of a GAP spec 94 this afternoon mate.

Love my gx106 just purely for the capacity and the size. 

 

At times it can be a bit numb but nice trailer all round..... 

 

Only thing with the GX range is they are all folds and rivited together..... Don't know how long that will last lol ?

The width is a deciding factor - knowhere does Ifor W. give external dimensions but I am guessing most are 18" wider externally than internally - making the GH 1054   7ft wide,  whereas the GH 94BT   5ft 11" wide.

 

The Ranger is 5' 7 1/2 " wide and also it is all hills, tight access around our region which is why compact is good.

 

3.5T rating would be fantastic in a GH 94BT 

 

 

GAP spec is approx 1300mm bed width and 1800mm overall width

1300mm   =   5 ft 10 55/64 inches - So I was quite close with my estimate of 5ft  11 inches wide.

 

Thanks for checking that !

 

How many trailers do you have there to be able to go out and give accurate measurements, when someone on a Forum asks a random trailer measurement question ?

It doesn’t, my old one cracked, right where the spring hanger meets the body of the trailer- very thin section of folded steel, my GH1054 looks to be much stronger.

1300mm = 5ft 10”? Might need to check again!

for what it’s worth I have a GH 1054 and find it’s perfect for Devon lanes, have no issue with it at all behind my landy. Winston Pincombe was brilliant to deal with too.

I’d also add that even though I could fit my 1.8t digger on a smaller trailer the 1054 allows loads of extra room for buckets/attachments, can even just fit a dumpy bag in front of the digger, but also can fit a 3 ton tracked dumper in (just) and my 2.8tonner so all in all very versatile.

I met the Brother of the bloke who ran Win Pin about 19 years ago, he was a water diviner amongst other things and boy did he know his stuff.

 

I can divine as can most people, but he was giving depths and flow rates - Jesus !!!

Would that not be Win Pins brother himself? Winstons still at it and his wife Heather mans the phones and is a delight to deal with. They had something like 200 trailers on order from Ifor so really didn’t need my custom but were ever so helpful in getting my 1054 quicker than any one else.
