Timber moving

What did you have before this truck? has it improved your efficiency.

I had a 7.5t with a big chip body on it. Still got it, not sure whether to sell it or not at the moment.

 

The job we are on at the moment is perfect for the grab truck. Lots of timber coming out, dropped a bin off in the driveway to chip into, and brought another bin in for the timber.

Grab has been used to pull the tops out of large conifers weighted towards a road, and to remove a low branch over a garage roof, no need to rig it!

The other plan is to offer my services picking up timber for other local tree surgeons, so they don't have to spend half a day cutting up a trunk and doing countless trips in a transit size vehicle.

Didn't have too far to go luckily. It had red and yellow sticky warning tape on it when I left.

Was more concerned about making some cars into convertibles.

Going to cut it to 16ft so I can have 2x 8ft lengths if necessary.

 

Hi All. Glad the wagon is going well for you. Be careful with that length. I looked into doing that at 16 ft but the weight behind the rear axle will be so great that the front brakes will hardly work. I had a 16 ft bin on it once loaded fairly well. When I excelerated the front came if the ground.

Awesome! I'll have to try that, an 18t wheelie . 😂

 

Only kidding. The 20yrd bin is 16ft long I think? Thanks for the heads up on that, I'll have a re-think.

Always worries me holding students like that in the grab after I've had some have slipped and dropped but not from that sort of hight, welded a big hook on the side of a grab before that made clippings chains or slings on easy for the climber and quick to undo once on ground to pick up again in the grab properly.

Looks a very handy rig and really fancy running something like that sometime soon

Look at this on eBay http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/232020364526

Possibly more like this as 4x4 is almost essential for most of our larger clients.

I spent time already working out what it will hold in the grab. I have a hook and slings for big bits 👍👍

It's when the pressure in the grab drops a little that things slip, just looked at my post and don't know why I said holding students ment sections.
