Stevie's right john, wood isn't that heavy, we used my trailer to load road planings for my drive, we were taking 9 ton at a time, that was way heavier than any load of timber we have had on it, and we have really stacked it too!..

 

I would agree I have moved green oak and ash was not too bad but green pine and beech incredibly heavy. Mostly beech around here

I have a Bigab 8-12 hooklift/tip trailer in stock,taking it to Saltex show next week,sweet deal available on that after the show!!:thumbup1:

 

Hook lift trailers , now your cooking:) Budget permitting its the way to go, It gives you every option, a few different bins and a flat bed. Just imagine how easy that would be for loading a dirty great big stump or a digger. We had a 15 ton lorry with one on and we used to chain up massive stumps and rip them straight out of the ground then just carry on to the rest position , a few ratchet straps and go. The nuts of all trailer systems.

Think hes an 7840 man?

 

7840 is based around Ford 5000 rear end castings. Bear that in mind next time there is a heroic situation going on at 40k with 14 tonne on the back.

 

I have seen 10, 40 and TM series brakes (amongst other marques and colours) in horrific condition, generally heat derived from constant overload (too much weight, trailer brakes below par/non-existent and too much speed) as well as reduced to their component parts and beyond, along with the rest of the drivetrain through panic induced both-feet-on-the-brakes type action, once again through too much weight, inefficient trailer braking and too much speed.

Remember that whilst you often think you have 'four wheel braking' you only actually have two relatively small brake pistons and a micro-switch behind the pedal that throws the machine into 4wd. Not good for anything, especially on black-top.

It only takes one of those components to fail to leave you with greatly reduced - or zero - braking ability.

I was on my way to cherry products to decide what to spend regards brakes on our Timber trailer. Partly due to seeing this I decided on new air brake system through out. That is my discovery you can see in the distance bit spooky I thought someone was trying to tell me something.

Hookloader are good, but you need a huge area to load, unload if your on a street.

I tried ripping stuff out the ground with the hook but the geometry was wrong and just pulled it tight against the back wheels.

Build quality is fantastic though.

 

They are also very heavy.
