cabstar timber truck

[combined tree services]

hi guys , i curently have a spare nisan cabstar , whilst at work today i came up with the idea of taking the flat bad off and turning the truck into a mini timber truck , so i thought i would ask all of you if you have any ideas for the hiab , layout for carring timber etc etc , to be honst its going to be a bit of a creation but i thought it would be great for those jobs i cant get a timber truck too

:001_tongue:holly molly the cornwallion has went mad, what do you plan on bolting the hiab onto, the tin floor or the rusty wheel arch

i was looking at hte weight of the truck and without the tiper the truck is actually verry light , i dont want a hiab that will lift 20 tons , just smething to lift 3/4- 1 ton , the frame to load timber in would not weigh too much either , i was looking at those fast tow trailers with hiabs when i came up with the daft idea

what timber truck do you use?

[garth mc garth]

not worth the hassle, by the time u mount the hiab,grab and rotator and stab legs there is gonna be most of your payload gone, few timber poles mounted properly on the bunk and all ur gonna be able to carry on it is the ticket from the old bill saying ur overweight and that ur cabstar belongs in a mad max movie looking like that!!

whan we need one i get a 16 ton timber waggon in . the idea of the cab star was not for massive jobs but the medium size jobs where i would rather get the timber out in slighly longer lengths rather than cutting them up
