delivery trailers????

[wills-mill]

Brenderup Trailers are very sensible critters, tough but lighter than Ifors and a bit less crude than the P6e and P7e...

Do you have one of these trailers mate?

[Logsnstuff]

You do.

 

If you had a say BMW 5 series saloon and pulled a trailer for hire and reward with a total train weight fully loaded to the trailers capacity of over 3.5 tons including the BMW you are in Tacho territory. Ironically this was exactly the scenario that the Police used when explaining the regs to me.

this was talked about few months back, from what vosa told us doesnt matter what size vehicle if it has an engine and someone pays you for the goods at point of delivery then it requires a tacho you can carry log rings from a work site back to the yard without a tacho but if you split the rings into logs then you need a tacho to take them back to the yard, doesnt have to exceed 3.5t if you want to say you dont need pm me your details and ill report you and then tell us what vosa say when they pull you

Just got this mainly for arb work but delivered 1m3 bags this weekend, lifts over walls fences etc [ATTACH]134906[/ATTACH]

 

We are going similar route but mounted on new sprinter 4x4 medium wb took some pics today of it in the workshop hopefully it will go for type approval next week.

 

it's being fitted by Outreach in Falkirk.

 

3.8m reach so should be able to reach the back of any trailer we buy and we made sure there was a tacho fitted.

 

We went with a lightweight aluminium bed which is about 70kg lighter than the usual timber and we had them cut the spare wheel carrier off also which gets us close to an extra bags worth capacity.

might as well post someone elses van which was being fitted with the same model crane on an iveco

Thanks

its about £12,500 all in but were having a camera and worklights and beacon + the aluminium bed in that price the crane on its own is about £6k

12500k!!!! Phew that's a lot of logs!

£56k if you include the new van, so ye helluva lot of logs and why we get pissed at beer money guys still have the trailer to buy. most merchants up here have switched to some form of 4x4 now anyway I still favour sticking with a van over pickup. I did notice some of the pics on here showing 3 4 & 5 bags in the back I hope these were 5 tonners I got done for having 4x 90x90 and was 700kg overloaded case doesn't come up till next month find out how big a fine court will give me. you gotta remember from your payload to take driver and any passengers off + your fuel weight + any tools means you can carry hardly anything even with 2 bags it puts me into the 5% over which is just a telling off but already considering operator license and go 5 or 7.5t for distances we travel.

I also want to keep van- keep costs low- stay local spend as little on diesel as possible - overloading is my big worry! (I do only weigh 10 st)Good luck with the court case and thanks for sharing the pics:thumbup:
