as above really,its just a thought,small hiab on the back of my tipper for del of bags of chips/logs,any ideas about hiab size and laws i might need to take into consideration ? thanks scott

Fit a super simple light weight hiab I would , one that lifts with a manual pump as they will lift 6/7 hundred kg no problem and just shuffle the bag when it's on , weight saving is the key with a light pickup

something this sort of size would work well

don't really know alot about them,that one on the Navarro does it just bolt onto the bed and run of the battery or something ?

they can run off a power pack i have the next size up fitted on my Mog running direct of the hydraulics

the crane either has 4 bolts to hold it to the vehicle or some had a framework that again is bolted to the vehicle

A swing crane is light weight and easy to use. Think you can get a decent one on eBay for £150. Uses an electric winch to lift and man power to slew.

 

My palfinger hiab on my lt35 weighs in at 2.2t unladen....

I have a small swing lift on my ifor. Lifts builders bags full of logs and chip as well as dragging them out from the barn.

i have seen swing cranes for no money at all on line but what sort of weights can they lift ? iv never weighed a bag of chips or logs ! i know it depends on moisture but what do they weigh ?

[sillytrucker1980]

as an after thought i suppose it all depends on what size winch you put on it ?
