Anyone tried a panel van for delivering logs?

trade in for what?

 

Also how about an ex butcher van? Curtain side but not hugely high.

 

at the price they offered we decided to keep it and run it into the ground but we bought flat bed and crane also 4x4.

i use 240 litre wheelie bins i can get 12 in my transit van i class 3 as a dumpy bag full 4 as a cube had no complaints ,customers like i as i tip the logs in there shed or as close as i can to there log store ,i stack free for O a p's and disabled people .Bought 20 bins once 8 years ago ,and they are still going strong ,i have never bought a dumpy bag ,i only do those if people ask for them in a old builders bag ,there in the dry in a van ,i dont mind sharing my idea ,try it .

 

Now that sounds slick

 

Presuming the wheelie bins survive being tipped over?

Have you checked it out on a weigh bridge when your loaded?

 

Na but crane is only about 40kg and stand about 40kg. Plus i can pick crane off by hand when not in use. I dont have a pic but will try get 1 soon. Here is off a website

I have a couple of punters who live in terrace housing, with no rear access.

wheelie bins are the way to go, as can't dump load on street. Then its just 4 runs through the house hall to rear shed, job done.

Also suits as I hand load my wood from cages for delivery anyways.

I sue transit tipper (currently x2) and a tipping Ifor Williams trailer as a unit (truck and trailer) I can deliver 8.5 cubic meters in one delivery.

7 in the trailer and 1.5 on the truck?

Nice work.

 

Do you have all terrain tires on the transit for the snow?

[Wee Jim]

One has winter tyres which makes a big difference and I have only just got the newer transit so it still has normal tyres and the difference is night and day!
