Hiab transit on ebay

[martwizz]

Tipping, 'fassi' crane, 2005 Single cab Transit

 

...2005 FORD TRANSIT TIPPER WITH FASSI HYDROLIC HIAB.. | eBay

 

Just thought i'd get some opinions on this item. Not much in terms of description, but it looks sweet. Folding sides on the box, hiab seperate from the tipper, looks fairly well looked after.

 

But pretty high mileage...

 

I'm self employed and currently use my pickup when needed, but i thought this would be a step in the right direction to add medium timber extraction from site (something few contractors can do here) and also enable me to do bagged log delivery. In the future it could tow a chipper and be the truck I use for my own business, with a chipper in tow?

 

Obviously the price may rise in the next couple of days, and I'm not necessarily looking at buying this one, but i'd like to have a good idea of what to be aware of when I'm looking at trucks like this in the future.... also, are these particularly rare, or are they on ebay regularly?

 

Cheers!

I expect that front axle is already pretty much on the limit. Complete waste of time if you're looking to stay the right side of the law

So rear mounted cranes are more likely to be better balanced? Or are hydraulic cranes generally going to be too heavy on a transit.

If the sides are steel, combined with the hiab you'll have a very small payload.

 

You need to decide how much you need a crane vs big drop in payload.

Like many things in our industry its WANT against NEED really.

Eithers a waste of time in my opinion. I doubt that truck has a half ton payload at best

Crane on the back for loading a trailer as well.

Then a lightweight sideways tipping box.

You will always have a problem with weight on 3.5ton van.

It will always be overloaded which is not ideal.

Your payload will be so small you wont need the hiab to unload it anyway.

But leave the tipping ram and pipes off, just tip the box with the hiab.
