Crane on a flat bed trailer?

[haforbes]

I've been wondering whether it'd be a possibility to mount a crane/hiab on my tractor bale trailer? Has anyone tried something similar to this? An if so is it more hassle than it's worth? The trailers 26ft. I was also thinking some short bolsters would be really useful. Any thoughts?

That kind of thing!

I did give this option much consideration, but in the end bought a dedicated wood boggy.

 

If you want it to be a "dual purpose" trailer, which i did, the crane is at time going to be in the way, eg when your carting boxes, pallets or bales.

 

I also looked at a Z crane, that would fold up behind the head board, but they seemed very expensive.

 

If your looking to use it as a dedicated trailer for carting timber round the yard and road work, it will be fine.

In the woods might not be so good.

That's the type of thing! Did you put that together? Does it work well? Costly? Thanks

You'll need a big hiab to load the back of that trailer Harry! What will it be used for, timber?
