Will 2 bulk bags of logs fit into a Defender HiCap bed?

[mcmoonter]

Thinking of a bulk bag delivery truck, currently using a trailer, which can be tight getting into narrow driveways with parked cars. I was thinking a HiCap Defender might have the load capacity, but would two bulk bags fit in the bed?

I’d doubt it. I have one and think the bed is a shade over 6ft long… loose would be no problem but don’t think it quite has the length to get 2 dumpy next to each other.

You could leave tailgate down and have a bag half on it, but it’s a pain and would need a strap.

Would probably attract to much attention from the boys in blue, even tho you wouldn't be over weight.

I thought it would be tight. I don’t fancy the dropped tailgate solution, I’d be sure to attract the boys in blue as I pass Police hq on deliveries.

Van with a winch at the top of the bulkhead and a pulley above the door. Lift stuff in. Unhook the pulley if you want to drag the bags deeper into the van. Reconnect the pulley to pull stuff towards the doors and lower out.

Depends on the size of bag but the bed won’t be not long enough to take two common size 90 x 90 x 90 bags with tailgate up but it might take small ones, no problem weight wise with seasoned logs. You can just fit two bags 90 x 90 x 90 into the back of a single cab Mitsubishi L200 single cab with tailgate up and the bed is 2.15m long which is longer than the Landrover. Volume wise if you empty the dumpy bags and net the logs you may be alright.

Didn’t realise some Landrover pickups had a bed length of 2.5m thought they were about 1.9m - 2m, if 2.5m then should take two 90 x 90 x90 bags.
