I have heard very good reports about them, very fast.

[Simon Rotheram]

what have you got on the mog trailer?

[skyhuck]

Palfinger, its not realy a fast loading crane.

you get lifters and loaders bbb, hucks is a lifter(hiab) the one on my roofmount is a loader. mowi are good, but you will pay a small fortune for a new one and there is quite a waiting list. i could never bring myself to pay 9k for a mowi 300 or 11k for a 400. and that was 4 years ago. what are your plans mate, whats it for?

Always heard good stuff about them but don't think they do one with a telescopic extension so depending on what you're doing it might be a PITA (either too short or, if the long one, too numb when loading the front bay of the trailer).

 

Parralel linkage is supposed to be quite useful and speed up the loading time (never tried it though so only what have been told)

Currently having a machinery/logistical nightmare, we have a contract which is bringing in more medium-large fells and I need a "lifter/loader" as most of the timber is pretty accessable. the next issue is mog or tractor...roof mount or trailer mount.....etc. etc.

 

Any help/advice would be ace!

We have a 7.5 ton flat bed with a 4.5 Ton Hiab on it.Its no timber crane,but for lifting large lumps its pretty good.If like you say the access is good then that might be all you need.

i am considering selling my roofmount, then there is always the mog, oh and i am selling a trailer with hiab too. what kit are you running now? how far is your working radius. rural, city??

[Simon Rotheram]

Running 7.5 tonne and transits at the moment, are you selling the roof mount + tractor?

 

Mike, I've looked at lorry mount but think we would need to run 10t + without being overloaded then have the problem of hgv licence etc...do you not find your overloaded?
