Ever thought of a tipping trailer with ramps?? Extra load space of you need to run a couple of loads away during the day.

 

That's what I use but I'm now buying a plant trailer as I need the tipping trailer free.

Hello,

 

Have a look at Brian James tippers. I've one with ramps and cages etc. very well built and great to tow etc.

 

Cheers chris

I would recommend a brian james too on the tippers the bed height is lower than others so much easier to load ride ons, Diggers etc.

thanks for the input guys , but I really need the beavertail aspect for the loading angle . we already use a ifor gx but for the track mewp the loading angle is just a bit to sharp and I don't like the bump when it goes over the crest of the ramp/to trailer bed . so the beavertail will cut this out

Have a look at the tilt beds, we have a 3ton IW tilt and it makes easy work of loading tracked plant. You also get to keep all of the flat bed.

aspen that looks a good idea, id never even considered that option , what sort of money do they come in at?

Having been a look at nothing else, break me in two and would say Ifor Williams, like a stick of rock, I had a real shock a couple of weeks ago!

 

A friend has bought a Bateson Plant trailer for a 2.5 tonne mini, and I hired the machine plus trailer for a couple of days.

 

I will not be looking for another Ifor anytime soon!

 

The difference in towing was unbelievable! None of the usual Ifor rattle going on, the trailer was brilliantly balanced and considerable thought had bee put into making it a perfect width for plant without being excessive like other manufacturers.

 

Everything about it from bucket rest, lashing rings to ramp steady instead of prop stands was excellent, but the real shock was the price?

Well under what I'd got it valued at?

 

Well worth a look and they do a huge range of trailers, that I'd dismissed with my Ifor snobbery before.

 

Brian James are beautiful trailers, but I suspect at a price to match that doesn't always reflect in resale like it does with an Ifor.

I've had a Wessex trailer of the type you fancy for 15+ years now and it's served me well and continues to do so.

 

Not sure if they go quite as heavy as you're looking for though.

 

A lot of the contractors over here use the McCauley trailers, terrific piece of kit and very, very, robust!

 

I think they've dealers all over UK now.

Not sure if there's dealers over there or not but Dale Kanes trailers have pretty much taken over the market here now.

 

He's the youngest of the Kane brothers and went in to the smaller trailer market on his own. I think there might have been a bit of a thra between them at the time but ok now. From what I've been told and seen they certainly seem worthy of the Kane name anyhow.

 

Probably worth a look out of interest at least.
