Nissan Cabstar mewp

[Joel77]

Iv seen a few of these come up for sale with a 20 meter working hight and 9 meter out reach and thinking about getting one

 

Has any one got or used one ?

 

I currently own a LR 110 mewp I don't use it often but when I do its a real good bit of kit

 

Iv been taking down some. 75ft / 80ft poplar,s last week in a real confined space with work shops, static caravans, and one of these would of been ideal

They are great, but I wouldn't buy one unless you need it for a specific contract, as your always going to need a different mewp for different jobs.

I Hire one of these from a friend of mine, amazing bit of kit. Surprising where you can fit them and have plenty of power! Its good how the legs go straight down.

Good bits of kit in my opinion. Spent a fair bit of time in a 19m basked on a cabstar. Was presently surprised to see at the apf that there is a 25m available

Thanks guys, I feel really safe in my LR 110 but when I hire out the bigger tracked or tow along mewp I just don't feel so safe, there very "bouncey" and the nissan goes very high with a massive out reach for such a small truck it was concerning me

I'm going to look in to hire one out for a day to give it a good try before you buy

I know what your saying Jon, but there's a good useable bed on them nissan,s to carry track matts & waffle boards so the truck should never be put in a position to get stuck, plus it's never going to be working alone, and with a winch on the front & back if the worst did happen it can be self recoverd by winching off the 2nd truck mate

Just read the report on that, seems they set up in soft uneven ground and used small feet pads and was not trained in common sence the poor guy was out of work 5 months
