3.5t tipper payload

[Coletti]

decided on a cabstar, im only starting out and they seem a nice truck at a reasonable price and boast a 1380kg payload on a 34.10 model which i think in time wont be enough but for now will be okay

The 5.2 tonne Iveco is a good truck, reasonable payload on a tipper plus still got 3050kg for a trailer/chipper.

Some parts are shocking dear compared to Merc though.

We appear to be standardising on Merc chassis at work, i.e. moving away from largely Iveco.

Our transit with toolbox and high sides came in at approx 2.7t with an empty back.

good man u know it makse sence,did u have much trouble finding a 5.2t daily

 

few land on ebay quite offten - ex council 55/56 plates - around 5k - average 50/60k miles.

 

i did see a few 6.5t chassis cabs , thats a nice extra 1.3t with the same old chasis as the 5.2 i believe.

 

thats means i can build a massive chip box for plenty chip and firewood

 

im looking to purchase in febuary after the winter hibernation period:thumbup1:

bigger axle on the 6.5t,mines a 65c17,down rated to 6t & weighs in @ 3.5t & can tow 2,25t

Thats a pretty good payload for a small truck. I take it you downrated it for driver licence reasons? It should be plated to tow 3.5 tonnes.

[Peter]

Yes..

[Johny Walker]

Yes..

 

its was down rated by the l/a it came from as to give bigger trailer weight,road rollers etc could get a bit more by spending £4k on an alloy body ,cant cee that happening for the sakw of 2/300 kilos :laugh1:carrys shy of 2.5t with staff and kit
