I'm going to get mine weighed off on thursday hopefully. I did it last year but didn't write down the figures

 

Mine has the unladen weight written on the side, I think it is 2550KG but that is when it had one of those silly YEB boxes on the back.

 

Will let you know.

 

Sounds good though on yours, not too far off the magic 1 tonne load carrying capacity

Took some scrap in after work tonight and mine went over the weighbridge empty @ 2380kg - thats a single cab with Quadtec box on.

That's what mines got still - stripped the roof rack and shelving off mine so the 2550 sounds about right

twincab 130, saws, fuel and everyday equipment etc, weighing in at 2660kg

Got my 130 on the road now. Not yet tipper converted but that will happen in the near future using a slightly shorter bed (modifying the current one) so I can leave the hiab on.

 

Needs a chip box roof or tarp and some new tyres but loving it so far.

 

That's a good looking truck..I'm thinking of upgrading to something similar. Can you give us some details on the hiab? I'm interested in what weights it can lift and at what reach, as well as how much weight it puts on the vehicle itself.

Hiab is made by Atlas, other than that I have no real details. It was there when I bought it. It has a 2 stage extension the first being hydraulic the other being manual and 360 degree swivel (hydraulic).

 

Lifting capacity is 0.36T fully extended (approx 3m / 2 ft off the back of the truck), 0.66T at approx 2m (manual section in, hydraulic section fully out) and 0.99T fully retracted.

 

As far as weight it adds to the vehicle I am unsure hence why there are some posts on this thread listing weights of the vehicles with and without various add-ons. However the Atlas website lists the newer version of the Hiab I have as being 180kg dry and without stabilising legs.

Mine being a single cab with the high sides with kit on board and me is 2590kg. giving me 910kg payload.
