Rough price for trailer

Can u lift 2 ton?!

 

Have you seen Big J? I believe he could probably do that...

Would be great with a grab! Handy bit of kit for the odd stem for taking to the yard to mill though?

Seen one on eBay a few months back at 12 or 14k, saw that one in the original post is at 7k

Yes I do have one, best thing since sliced bread

it's on an LM146 and has a payload of nearly 2100kg, the crane fitted to these is a bonfiglioli and they have the best lift/crane weight of pretty much anything available but it is at the cost of quality imo, put a better quality crane on and you loose the payload.

These are/were made by what is now truck and marine crane but was ACB hydraulics.

Mine was about 8 months old when I bought it, it had extra services, rotator and grab, price new was pretty scary at nearly 15k inc VAT with all the extras.

It's rated at 1000kg with the boom in and can do that and more with ease, they are suprisingly hard to tip over (and I have tried ) just to see how stable it is.

It's one of those things that is worth the money if you can find someone who actually has a proper need for it, I believe there was another on here that took ages to sell.

For my next one I will probably sacrifice a bit of payload though and get a better quality crane, as it gets a lot of use.

I would not be without one now.

Sadly these are somewhat slow to use and big butts really is all they are suitable for imo.

They could be made faster but that would cause more whip in the crane and require more strengthening on the trailer and again less payload, it's a bit of a trade off.

Great post, have put mine up for £6995 plus vat

Picks up dumpy bags of soil with ease

I wouldn't worry too much about speed with that setup, if you are only lifting 3 or 4 sticks on at the end of a dismantle a slow crane is still going to be way quicker than ringing it all up!

The most sensible post ever! Any crane is better than handballing, and I think that trailer looks pretty good value at 7k personally. Good luck with the sale!

If I hadn't just bought a new chipper and spent 2.5k on my LR I would have bought that trailer.
