old landrover cherrypicker

[64treefrog]

Thanks Little Steven, very usefull.

Treequip, The rules regarding MOT and red are confusing but I have had long phone conversations with DVLA and Customs and excise....

If the cherry picker comes in at over 3500kg then is Special Vehicle and doesnt require an MOT, as landy is under that weight I would have to supply all details to them and they will grant special rules (subject to being assesed by commitee). The item of equipment has to be perminantly mounted and relies on the base vehicle to be opperated. Pretty much the same with the red, as the picker is powered by the landy engine it can be run on red. It can only be used for purpose!

That's not what it says here

Hi treequip...

 

I stand correctd, the Landrover version would come in under 3500kg, whereas my Unimog is clearly not.

Hi treefrog,

Please see Treequips correction on the weights/testing requirements. My Mewp is 9000kgs and the test req is not the same.

Try Firebond for the insurance they specialise in modified landrovers

Just spotted this one on ebay whilst browsing Land Rover Series 2a 109 cherry picker defender | eBay

[64treefrog]

Yes spotted that, almost identical to mine except that looks like a Spencer cherry picker, a bit lighter!

 

As a result of these discussions I may be removing picker and making it trailer mounted

Sorry for delay. My brother put this together about inspecting hiab etc

Hope is useful

That's for a mobile crane, the protocols fro a mewp are different, most mewps aren't designed for "lifting" anything other than what's in the basket.

 

The ALLMI training for mewps specifically prohibits using it as a crane

[dangeroussteve]

Still a load.
