tracked chipper on vehicles

[Johny Walker]

would want to tracking £15k chipper up ramps on to the daily:scared1:

We used to carry our 9" Tracked Jensen on the back of the 7.5 tonner until it was stolen last week.

That chipper was around 2.5 tonne and the lorry carried it no probs.

We've carried a 6" Jensen on the back of the 3.5 tonner before but it was overloaded when we checked it on a public weigh bridge so we stopped doing that.

 

It is a good was of getting machines around if you don't need to remove any arisings.

Sorry to hear about the theft of the chipper, if you want to let me have the serial number I will make sure that our parts dept at Redwood have it on record as stolen for future reference. May be best to PM it to me if you want.

I've seen safetracks in 6.5 tonne Iveco pannel vans for rail track work, its spot on as you can go back home, to your hotel, or where ever whith no need to find somewhere local to leave it and then have the worry of it being stolen.

Except if they know whats in the van and just steal the van................

[penfold]

isn't there a firm that does conversions where the floor drops down and it is basically a panel van? I think they're called razorbacks or something.

[PeteB]

I cannot imagine that the Razorback conversion carrys too much and don't forget that it is front wheel drive to boot. The client who stuffed his 1928 SafeTracs in his panel vans had some fancy alarm/immobiliser/tracker/self destruct button! He never lost one!
