What GVW Arb Truck

[treequip]

I presume that's the form for the I trim licence. My guy says in London and southeast they are rarely granted but in other areas it can see you up and running in a few weeks. Surely the truck can be insured for personal use like a car without the o license. As you can still keep it and drive it without one as long as you don't use it commercially

Fixed that for you

I'll be calling IMS in the next few days as I want to have bolsters a chip body and to be able to run it as it is as a grab which shouldn't be too hard to achieve. Will be a few weeks before she can work got my theory test tomorrow!

It's 18ton crane can do 3.9 up close and just shy of a ton at full reach which is about 6m I think

Looks good Billy. I hope to collect mine in 3 weeks or so. I'll have similar tasks sorting out the chip box and bolsters. So I'll be following your progress.

 

I need to do class 1 as well (I've got class 2 from my Army days). Until then I'll put the chipper on the truck or take the land rover as well.

Few pictures of building the body and it earning it's keep, a few days of using one of these and you wonder how you ever managed without !

Hi Billy,

 

How long have you BBB been running your truck and what are your biggest lessons so far? I'm still waiting to pick mine up, can't wait, but need my class 1.

 

Cheers

About 3 weeks, where we are out of reach of the crane instead of cutting stuff small get it on the deck as big as possible and take it out front with a man in each end to minimise cutting and stack it on a. Strop then load it with the crane, saves a lot of saw dust and time. You can fit them in surprisingly tight spaces. And even a very big chip box still needs a roof as when it starts getting full it gets messy. All in all it's awesome and I'd never go back it is making jobs that used to be a day for 3 4-5 hours for 2 of us efficiency has increased massively.

Notice the truck is over half full in first picture this whole chestnut fitted on bar a few logs, and if I had full height back doors they would have fitted.
