cheap way to empty your pickup

[Billy]

Just saw your video, looks good, but doesn;t seemt o be loads of chip in there, would it be able to offload say 5 cube? Also how can one size fit all when some beds are substantially wider, than others? Also any tips for getting this guy to answer the phone, i've rang him loads and left a messages and got nothing back

Don't think I can help you any more - I've said everything there is to say. Yes, the sheet's narrower than the bed but it still drags out most of the chip.

 

Don't know any tips for getting someone to answer the phone either. Sorry.

[Billy]

Ah Yeah i can see that guess it drag's most of it outas it clings together. I'm just a bit aprehensive as my pickup holds more like a a transit load of chip than a typical pick up load. and I don't want to get something that wont do it.

I think there are two sizes made so when/if Mr B ever answers his telling bone go for the bigger one. Good luck.

have just bought load handler. Mr Blevins has just had an operation on his throat so phone conversation is difficult contacted him via email replied quickly my landrover is 72 inches by 100 inches and it empties the back leaves a little but this can be swept out Imo this is better than losing 150kgs of capacity for tipping gear

Is there any reason why the load-handler could not be attached to the ramp tail-gate of a trailer, maybe with a bit of tinkering? Ive never seen one in action so dont know, but it would save the extra weight&cost of a tipping trailer.

The trailer ramp would need to be sufficiently high off the ground to allow the unwinding handle to operate. Then allow ground clearance for your knuckles. The closer to the ground the last bit of vehicle that the chip falls off the sooner you'll get chip falling over your arm too.

But if the trailer bed was high enough from the ground and you chocked the tailgate off the ground I suppose you could use the sheet on a trailer but not with the conventional setup where the trailer tailgate lies on the ground: watch the vid on page 1 of the thread and you'll see what I'm on about.

Well, its ordered, hopefully it'll get the job done!

Well? How are these working now? I'm thinking of getting one.
