    Bad Day

    dug out these,there not ms200s,there 020ts,so you may need to do some mods,any use?
  4. Hi b101uk, I don't know all the technical info you ask for,but what i can tell you is,its a fortuna trailer built to order for me,it was designed and built to have a crane fitted to it. The eye on the trailer is twice the thickness of the standard eye for a 13.5 ton trailer.And you have told the auto pin up to unhitch it.The trailer is built to HGV standard and has ABS. The mog is a 10.5 tonner. Also palfinger took all the dimensions of the trailer and steel thicknesses ect and were happy. Also crane weighs 1250kg
  5. I have used them good to deal with. Be careful if you leave them in the sunlight the fall to bits!!!!!!!!!!
  6. Every few months in the winter,as i wear longjohns under them,and have several pairs so let them air between the times i wear them. More often in the summer.
  7. But you got the job done,often think the ability to improvise is the mark of the true pro:icon14:
  8. Good point,and cheaper than a sling.
  9. Love that blue nylon grab!!!!!!!!!!!LOL!!!!!!!
  10. Cheers nailer! Its taken 14 years,I was talking to a guy,I used to subbie climb for, the other day and he saw my rig and said "you got there then",i had told him 12 years ago the rig i wanted and he had remebered.
  11. Cheers Matty,the crane is new,had the trailer for 4 years had a Hiab 071 on it before.
  12. Your right,this setup with the crane on the mog was great,but often over weight,every thing is a compromise
  13. Buzz,I would talk to Alex, the trailer i have tips three ways has high mesh sides for chip,removable bolsters,and can be stripped down to a flat bed,i moved my own 20' shipping container. It is very stable,Palfinger thought i would need extra legs,but once it was fitted they tried it and it passed its safety test with flying colours! they were amazed! Mr Ed have a good crane cheap,its on earborist for £2200.
  14. Good looking tool. I run a very small firm,me and one or two groundies.Theres only me who drives the mog,so i don't really want to have more than one vehicle. I went down the road of getting more staff and vehicles and found it to be a real pain in the arse,more hassle,less money,more paper work and less of what i love,climbing trees.
