Hiab Trailer

[Joel77]

Just see this on eBay IFOR WILLIAMS 14ft TRI-AXLE HIAB CRANE TRAILER | eBay

[Suffolk-Matt]

I wonder what payload would be left? Fair size lump that Hiab.

 

EDIT - I asked the chap - 1450kg is the total weight so about 2ton payload.

That's not bad at all makes it a very useful bit of kit

Bloke I used to work for had a similar setup, handy thing to have. Be interesting to see what it makes.

That's a bad ass amount of nose weight

I have one with a bonfiglioli 3500 fitted on a tri-axle, Nose weight is ok but you have to have the crane unfolded as far as poss to the back when it's empty, my engine is in line with the crane though so that takes a bit more off the drawbar.

Very useful bits of kit though, wouldn't be without mine now.

If interested I would be asking if it has or ever had a test cert with it.

Mine has far more strengthening plate work running down the chassis.
