Chipper Wear and tare

[Buzz]

We just got a Timberwolf 125PH. We got two of the wheel clamps from Timberwolf and the hitch lock too. Was a lot of money but it got the insurance on it down. Its stored (or more importantly going to be stored when its delivered) in a giant metal container which is alarmed with sercurity company call out.

 

Its also chained to the floor and sides of the container with lifting chain. Its padlocked with fancy Panzer padlocks that are used for holding shop shutters down.

 

 

Doesn't it piss you off that you have to go to such lengths ? I hate the getting kit out and putting kit away part of the job because we have to be so vigilant.

just alot more time on the day expensive yeah its a pain in the asse but what can you do scum exsist we have no choice

I think the insurance quote was 315+vat from Trust for the chipper. I too hate having to go through all trouble of locking the stuff away. We've been lucky and only ever lost a few strimmers and a chainsaw. But once you've been hit once they do come back and i'm sure once you've gone to the trouble of using a cutting torch to get into our container (which has been done) an alarm is going to phase you much. But seeing everything chained and bolted down is going to slow you down, making the chances of catching the sods all that higher. Or at least thats the theory.......

 

In the long run our £50 a time padlocks and £10 chain is expensive but if it saves one saw from going missing its been worth it.

How much much was the clamp telho, just looked at the lincmaster web site and i cant see any prices.

Hey around 200-250 if you get that you should get hitch lock with chain.

 

But the clamp is a nice heavy duty bit of kit
