MEWP/ Tipper combo

[Treemon]

Hi does anyone know if anyone produces a MEWP with a tipper on one vehicle or had one specially made

Look at overland with the arb truck its based on a 7.5t Canter which i think is on either portal or simca axles so its 4 wheel drive. I ve hired it and its impressive.

Notts City Council ran a combo like that some years ago and may do still. But consider this - as a mewp the RFL is low because it is a specialist use vehicle. To carry chip you'll be on a commercial vehicle RFL and due to the axle loadings, your capacity will be pants!

Total waste of time contemplating such a combo in this country I've been through it, you'd be better off buying a cheap road tow mewp

a dealer i use in cambridge had six daf mewp's with chip boxes that belonged to fountains very nice looking but with all the weight it was 1/2 ton over on front axle and over a ton on rear empty so could not be used.

i agree with lee not really worth doing

Would a MEWP with a trailer be a better option?

[Johny Walker]

learning to climb is the cheaper option

[Stephen Blair]

Or do it Huck style, remote controlled monster hiab on a trailer pulled by a mog with front mount chipper. Doggies danglies:thumbup1:

see two mogs in winchester other week with front mount chippers, small chip boxes and mewp on board?? dont ask what models as i couldnt see, but they certainly looked handy.

It was just a thought as im running an Iveco MEWP and transit up to Yorkshire everyday from East Midlands on an LV contract
