Willow, poplar and conifer. All the "good stuff" gets sold on.

Help. Need some timber moving this weekend. Norfolk.
Peter replied to shendy's topic in General chat
Would have been up for it, sadly working all weekend already. Might be able to do it Monday if thats any good? -
Just proves my point really, not much to choose between them all, and if you ask enough people you will get every opinion about every trailer.....
-
I'd be more inclined to take those kind of comments seriously if it were possible to point out the differences in design that make one trailer rubbish and one the best ever. They are built the same way using similar materials, how can there be so much difference between them?
-
You could try recreating this.
-
That depends whether you want to use it or sell it on..... Not had a look at the new ifor tippers tbh.
-
Personally nothing to choose between Ifor, Brian, and Bateson in terms of build quality and robustness, comes down to which has the features you want and price.
-
I dont need one either, in fact I may not need two.
-
I could do them for you if you can't find anyone more local.

No flippancy intended, more of a comment on the standard of service expected of commercial motor dealers. The reply I would expect to get to such a claim would be along the lines of harsh winter road conditions, salt spray, not getting washed off properly, left standing for long periods etc etc long story short its not our fault we're not paying.

3 year warranty on brakes? Good luck with that, about as much chance as a 3 year warranty on tyres. Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App

What is your 7mm cord rated at and what hitch are you using? Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App

Blimey, must be gold plated at least.

How much where they? Must have have missed that. From memory mine cost £190 about 4 years ago.

By the time you've done all that its usually just as cheap to put new drums on. My iveco (18 tonner) had similar issues with being left parked up, I had new drums fitted to get through the first test.

Never cared for petrol leeks myself, much prefer the electric ones.

To think you made her trade in her beloved Land Cruiser for that golf buggy!

Tis the season to see Fungi, fa la la la la....
Peter replied to David Humphries's topic in Fungi Pictures
Salford city council. Lots of monos and ecoheaps round the little assault course. -
Have you thought about a cool vest? Of course, as soon as you got one we'd be back to winter.

Hi Chris, The method I have used on the two Transits on this thread would be ideal for you. The only modification is two steel sockets welded onto the inside of your corner posts, and the sides lift off in one section, you remove the two bolts at the front, slacken off the two at the back, and lift it off. 5 minutes tops with 2 pairs of hands. For any truck with sides less than 3.2 metres long, a pair of side panels in aluminium hollow section plank finished height 800mm (on top of existing dropsides) will cost £650 plus vat including fitting. The split folding head board option I can add for £180 plus vat. I would need the truck for a day at my workshop, and I could fit you in week beginning 22nd July. Peter

They'll all be this shape.

Looking good Chris, think your slightly confused about the restricted o licence though, you can operate nationwide as long as you only carry your own goods rather than carrying out haulage work.

Yes, I kept the Ifor ladder rack on to add some rigidity, and the tailgate holds the back end together nicely. I would imagine a full load of wet chip would be a struggle to tip, not intended to be brimmed with wet chip though, three quarter load of fresh, and the extra height will prevent lots of overspray, or a full load of dried biomass chip loaded with a machine over the side.

Dunno mate, do you have a tiny helmet or something?
