load handler

Thanks for the support guys

 

logman mick twf, as has been said the hi-caps edge latches are ideally where you want the Loadhandler brackets although it's 'get roundable'. The same issue appears with the new isuzu rodeo pickup - the latches there have gone away from the central.

 

But, to reassure you and to let you see the efficiency of the system, if you order one and it doesn't work for you or you don't like it for any other reason; pack it back up neatly and get it back to us and we'll give you your money back.

 

Give it a go

It doesn't come any straighter than that

It almost does,but I use one with a loadhandler and its amazing how much those corners hold back.

 

i've now boarded them out with marine ply so that the sides are flush with the tailgate (trimmed around the wheel arches) and this works much better,still got to throw a few stagglers out,but much less than before.

 

An added bonus is that this boarding on my tub (off a 130 hicap) brings the volume of the tub down to a cubic metre for a level load,and I've got rake storage etc at the sides.

 

The Loadhandler mounting brackets are not ideal for the Hicap as they restrict the operation of the tailgate latches if you tighten them up,but left loose they are OKish - will probably mount it permanently when one of them breaks!

Pics attached ,hopefully!

 

only off the phone,but you get the idea

 

Dumping chip today,didn't shift it paticulaly well,probably because it was only a samll load and hadn't really compacted.

Hi Chris - has the dragsheet wound off unevenly - in pic 2 it looks well over to the lhs and a bit mean on the rhs? Shame to leave that much behind

Hi Curtis

 

The load was loose,which didn't help - but you're right,the dragsheet was not central,and its a fair bit thinner than it should be due to fraying off at the edge - probably be after a replacement soon!

 

Great tool though,if the back is full of chip,logs or even hardcore it shifts it,could do with a bar that props the tailgate open,otherwise it tries to shut up when you start wind the handle.

Pull some material onto the sheet on the open tailgate manually before you start winding; that helps prevent it.

I must be going senile for getting your name wrong Steve - It'll get you a decent 'Loadhandler' keyring and a small discount off a new Dragsheet when you need one. Just remind us!

 

The new LH 2200M ones we've brought in have additional straps that can be fixed from the bottom of the brackets to a tow bar or similar if the tailgate trying to raise is an issue. Did yours have these?

 

Glad it's working for you though

Haven't got the straps - sound like a good,simple solution though,sure I'll have something around to make some up.

It tends to do this as soon as I open the tailgate with the more optomistic loads!

 

I'll hoick a bit more out next time,well,until I sort the straps out:)

 

Cheers

Here's some pictures I'd lost - now found - showing it fitted to a Hilux and cranking out a load of logs
