  1. Trailers with no plate use the combined tyre load index.
  2. Not for this law no. Its plated for licences only.
  3. Lol That is soo out of date now.
  4. The plated weight of the trailer does not need to be within the capacity of the car as long as the real weight is. That's a C& U reg. Re cat B licences it is done on max potential weights.
  5. Wont over run brakes be ok up to 3500kg?
  6. They lost too many sales due to not having a 3500kg tow capacity. So instead of making them better they move the numbers. Vans are the same. Some (like the Transit T280) have less tow capacity than my nans zimmer frame.
  7. They ALL do this now.
  8. We only hire with operator.
  9. How long for? When? what sized wood?
  10. If you dont loose 10% of your customers when you put prices up, you dint put them up enough. More money from less work.
  11. We have all speculated on it over the past few years. Well now its a stage closer & looks like it could be happening as soon as 2020.
  12. We only do it with an operator. IMHO you are better with someone that knows the machine well so can max outputs.
  13. If getting a warranty exchange always upgrade if you can for a small fee. Then the warranty starts again.
  14. Be careful how you describe it. I was looking for cover for mine & because the name had FIRE in it they shit a brick & had to speak to the underwriters who also shit a brick & would not cover it for sensible money. A saw mill of the same value would be 30% of the fee. They did not understand that there was no fire, no risk of fire & that fire wood was no more a risk than sawn wood.
  15. You might need a tacho & you might need an operators licence. You need to red the regs to find out as it can be very case specific.
  16. You can have your vocational driving licence take away too.
  17. An lgv trailer has its own registration and would be listed / identified via that registration. A trailer in class O2 does not have an individual registration. You might have a trailer listed on your O licence (not my area of experience) but not individually listed.
  18. Its not the trailer that is O licence registered its the trader or business. The type of brakes on the trailer won't affect registration. Unladen weight does. Again I must admit I have not looked at how a 5th wheel set up would be affected by the O licence and the regs as so few are out there that are based on a cat B / BE licence. I would also have to consider if the applied load part of the trailers unladen solo weight is counted or not. Interesting puzzle.
  19. That's a situation I must admit I have never considered or looked through the regs to see if thats right or not as why would you? I think the assumption is that sub 3500kg trailers will be over run type.
  20. Currently sub 3500kg do not need to be registered or tested at all even if used with a C1 or C vehicle. You might need to be registered as an operator.
  21. Check out the Riko WP36
  22. Registration & testing for sub 3500kg trailers is currently under consultation.
  23. Not many will hire processor & no operator.
  24. Message me. I have family near there so could stay with them to keep costs down.
