Hiab trailer-Is this a good'un?

[Guest Infinitree]

I'm after a trailer but don't know much about all the different Hiab models.

It's a 1991 trailer 12ton with a 985 Hiab crane and I will need to get it piped for a timber grab so is it worth buying for £1500 ?

That's hugely nose heavy

 

Any test on the crane

 

what are you planning to tow it with?

[Guest Infinitree]

Hi mate, Haven't seen it yet. The chap didn't answer my questions on the crane so don't know if it been tested!

Aren't they all going to be nose heavy? Will be behind a Ford 7000 to begin with, then hopefully a u900 next year

They do inflict a nose weight but done properly it is within acceptable limits, looks like they just kicked that in a pile welded it where it touches.

 

It will tow like a pig

£1500, bargain!

To use on the rd with a u900, haha forget it!

They have slid the body back and re welded the ram, if its for kicking about a yard with no employees then spot on.
