Ifor Williams/Other Trailer with Hi-Ab built on.

[WillTimberlake]

Hi all,

 

I have been looking and doing a bit of research on various Hi-Ab trailers. I would just like to see what people's opinions are on them and whether anyone owns one/ hires them out to other companies etc?

 

I appreciate all replies.

 

Cheers

To go behind what sort of vehicle?

Look at AC Price unimogs website, they are selling an Ifor trailer with hiab professionally installed - needs to be towed by a land rover or similar. Matt

There has been discussions about these before, the thing that put me off would be nose weight.

Thank you all for your comments so far - keep them coming.

 

I would be towing it behind my pick up, 2.5 L engine.

 

Thank you very much, I will take a look at their website later this evening.

 

Thanks again everyone. Cheers

I have just bought a 14ft tri axle ifor with a bonfiglioli knuckle boom fitted last week.

I have yet to really give it a try out but will say that the nose weight is a bit of a problem when empty and the crane needs to be opened out to the back of the trailer bed but it tows really nicely set up like that, once loaded I just fold it up, this one is built into the front part of the body and not on the drawbar so although it is a 14ft it has 12ft of usable bed.

It's way cheaper to find a small lorry with crane, but that wasn't a route I wanted to go down again.
