Unimog cranes.

also , I dont have to stand on the drawbar to load up.

I would never buy a forwarding treailer for arb work, i'd get something like this much more versatile imo

 

Is that the voice of experience?

[Lee Winger]

couldn't you fit your crane onto a tipping grain trailer?, I'd be happy with any crane Oliver, but my first choice would be a tipper/crane combo trailer, i'd like the tractor first though..

 

Wish I was made of gold, more like mud...

Common sense tells me which trailer is more versatile for arbwork...

[Log-ologist]

common sense tells me that :

my tractor is too old,

my crane is too short,

and my truck is for woodchip.

Oh well just think of us poor buggers with no crane the next time you put a big lump of holm oak on your forwading trailer....

Holm Oak, you should have seen the dirty old Beech I dragged out of a site in bournemouth a day or two after Christmas last....

Had a Volvo 140 on tilt and slide trailer behind a 1300 mog on the M25 4years ago, made the local radio, max a big mog can tow is 18t but dont do it, they aint heavy enough to stop a big load safely!!

(VOSA said mog and trailer brakes were almost 100%)

still jacked it and closed 2 lanes
