Machine for moving timber on site

How much are they? Dealer hand delivered a brochure a few weeks ago

 

 

Depends very much on model / spec.

 

You'd need to speak to MultiOne to see what's possible / available!

Multione UK dealer (Steve Hadfield) has a sponsored link on the right hand side of the page and a thread. Contact direct for best options, they may still have some ex-demo machines available.

 

You get more than just a timber shifter when you start adding attachments!

does look a nifty little machine but crazy money.

Might seem like that, but put another way, if you thought of it as working for 10 years it's less than £10 a day - I know that's massively simplistic but it kind of puts it in some sort of perspective.

 

First task we put it to was a small demolition job, we'd allowed 25 man days - finished in 15.

Being trying to access their website all week but to no avail! 40k does sound steep but as a labour saving device which will pay for its self on site, can be offset against tax anyway its not too bad. Nowts cheap anyway!

 

So far i have...

 

Avant/multione

 

Mini Skidsteer loader, not sure if its enough.

 

Alpine tractor.

Compact tractor

Or just go and buy a proper tractor and drive it to site!

Hi mate all in, mini tractor, loader, forks bucket, log splitter 1.2 mtr flail and 4 ton winch cost me about 10 grand, there not as quick or as flash as an avant or multi tone and might not be able to lift as much, but a compact tractor is a fook site cheaper and will lift and drag a hell of a lot more than a person can, and are easily transportable and will fit in most places good way to get started down the mechanised route

I must admit i would imagine a tractor would be more versatile on site, maybe not as maneuverable.

Another option would be full on tracked skidsteer with will run some very hydraulic hungry kit

And has a weatherproof cab

I can only legally tow 3.5 ton on the van so i would assume it combined with the trailer would be way too heavy.
