Awesome, looks properly built. Love seeing stuff built to last!

Yeah 7.5t with 3.5t towing capacity. Similar physical size to a transit though.

Overload if it does. 

My new chip box on the little truck. I need to have a proper measure up but should hold about 10 cube.

Out with the new truck today, just showing of the cranes reach [emoji3]
 

 

That’s a decent size and spec crane. Is it a 7.5t front axle?
What size grab have you gone for? I’m jealous of your extensions, I looked into getting another extension for mine and it was going to be £3k plus fitting for another 1.6m reach.

Its a Hiab by the look of it. What size crane is it? Is it piped for a grab and rotator? Its a similar but newer version of mine with more sticks.

Tidy looking truck Swinny.

A few pictures from this week. Craning down an Oak that had been previously hacked and removing a knackered Beech using a 33m tracked MEWP.

I know he has a cheap tracked and an older tow behind Jensen for sale.

Get an accountant to sort it all for you. They will save you more than they cost you.

I pay £50 a month for yard space on an industrial unit to park my truck for my operating centre. mpg I’ve never worked out, it works out a lot cheaper than a 3.5t truck to run though as you’re doing far fewer trips.

I’ve just applied for another vehicle on my Operators licence so I can run a 7.5t Canter instead of a 3.5t truck.

Was that Volvo for sale on here up in Scotland? I wish I’d bought that at the time, give me a shout if you ever move it on... 

Hello,  can u elaborate some more please on how you avoid the O licence please?

A hook loader will leave you with barely any payload on a transit.

Thanks for that all clear now...Dont make things easy for honest working folk do they.

No Idea if things have changed..

You’d definitely need an O licence.

It’s easy enough to get one. You need to show you have enough money to maintain an LGV, have an arraignment with someone to carry out the maintenance, have a suitable Operating centre and place an advert in a local paper.

If scaffolders can manage I’m sure you’ll be fine.

Monday’s Horse Chestnut. It lost a large chunk in recent high winds. The remaining section was overhanging a 60mph Road. A couple of hours and half a load and she was down and cleared.

Great use of the ‘tut-bag tortoise’ at the end JP.

No mate, where is he based? Ill have a google search. Cheers.

3 multi stemmed Conifers down chipped and logged by 1pm. I managed to pull all the back learners over with the Kanga and then grab feed the bandit most of the waste.

Have you tried Pete Winstanley?

A few pictures of my Tonka toy and noddy van.

Trust insurance do my 18t truck. Worth trying them.
