EX MOD rb44

[treedweller]

Seen a few of these about for as little as £1500 are they any use and also are they classed as 7.5t??? I think they where based on the old dodge vans with 4x4 running gear added for the mod.

Any info welcome cheers

If you buy one don’t brake the front axle, they are a special by boughton and rare as hens teeth,

 

Perkins phaser engine is as good as it gets and they are 5000kg so will need an "O" licence. (I have seen a couple of 7500kg but only a couple

What's an o license?? Is it like cat c1 for 7.5t??? When I was in the forces the motor platoon had the but where phased out. Never got near to driving one but always wanted to cos it was a bit different than a 110 landy lol.

look through my threads to see if you can find it.

To run anything over 3500kg MAM you need to get a licence to make sure you aren’t some muppet sending goods vehicles down the street in rag bad order.

 

Not half as onerous as most are led to believe

O licence is an operator's licence and not a problem to get, its the 6-12 weekly checks and plating once a year thats the drain on your money.

Mine, Isuzu 7ton failed last week on a loose fog lamp bulb arsey tester sent it away had to re-book it, I wished I had been there to wish him a merry Christmas. Some times I miss the old Bedford 4x4 12 ton with Hi-ab.

Just looked up operating licence and driver cpc and it says its not required if the vehicle is only used for carrying equipment and materials used by the driver in his work. ie its not a currier/goods vehicle.
