HI MATE nice trailer what truck have you got to TOW 4.26 TONS then did it tip off ok thanks jon

[Philmypower]

How do you load the greenmech onto the back of the truck. Nice trailer too, will look boss once signed

[prolinep]

i have a brand new ford ranger with a 3500kg towing weight, but i over loaded the trailer but seemed to tow it ok . few moments under braking i had a wobble other wise the tipper worked perfect was like it was empty couldnt be happier. wouldnt recommend overloading though but good to know if you fill it to the brim it still works and can be towed

philmypower between two guys you can easy pull it up with a set of alloy quad ramps or on my own i use a 12v quad winch same to lower it out on my own ...

might have one like that myself as ive a landy now, beats buying a transit and box back!

[prolinep]

i built it to get round the weight issue as transits have a 1.5 ton load limit as trailer is a 3.5 ton trailer so if i get pulled then less likely to be over weight unless i fill up to the top with wet chip. plus gives me my truck back after work hours and leave the trailer in the lock up ready for the next day.

 

plus we fitted wireless remote so you dont have to get out the truck to tip .. just like tipper.

Hi mate you say you do not need to get out of truck to tip off how's that auto tail gate thanks Jon

[simsimo]

Is the height the same as standard high sides and how does the unladen weight compare with the caged sides?I'm thinking of a similar set up but might get sort of roof on part it.

[prolinep]

haha yeah the auto tailgate has its complications .. doesnt seem to open when i push the imaginary button , but yeah same as tipper in the sense where you dont have to stand about with remote then get back in truck then get back out to lower it etc..

 

hights the same as the original sides, we just grinded the mesh off and replaces with 2mm sheet galv so its good for hardcore to or aggregate and unlike alu sides they take abit of hammering with out bending or denting, weight wise there is a little more but not enough to worry about. we have got a roof that goes over the front half.. but just gets in the way if you wanna chuck logs on the top so we leave it off most the time.
