plastic arb truck

[64treefrog]

did anyone else spot the back body on the 4x4 pickup on the Ground Control stand?

spoke to the guy on the stand and he says all their pickups have the same chip box on.

Built from re-cycled plastic !

 

me like

was that the one with large tool boxes?

if so, yes I like to. get more chip and logs in.

Does it mean when you are dicing on the back, the chainsaw wont blunt when it hits the sides:blushing:

That's a plus point Dan.

A minus is that having a fire in the back would be bad. Very bad.

good points.

I think the saw would go straight through.

I also wonder what it would look like in 5 yrs time, its not as if arb trucks get an easy life.

but good idea to get weight down.

the national trust have a walk/bridge made of plastic at winkworth arboretum, has weathered ok.

Would be interested in seeing some pics if anyone got some?

 

Did it have a metal frame with plastic infills or molded plastic?

 

Currently looking at options for a posh box for the truck

[frets1]

from what I can remember was all plastic

Would like to know weight & strength between alley and plastic.

I wonder if it was this stuff. It's been mentioned on here before.

nepia, yes thats the stuff.

I posted about it before but the general conscensus was 'bad idea'.

These guys have them built in it, everything apart from the tool box doors, all bonded and strengthened internally with the same material.

The one on the stand was 2 yrs old and perfect.

think the makers plate said said 'pick up solutions'
