  1. In my option no but with a blank template a risk assessment and method statement should only take a few minutes as most of the risks stay the same from site to site as would the method statement .ppe is what separates us from the cowboys . everybody on site has a duty of care to each other so 5 to 10 minutes at the beginning of the day I feel is worthwhile get everyone on site to sign that they understand and have received the assessment and statement it takes a bit of time to begin with then when you have built up templates for the jobs you do all you have to do is change the name of the site and the date then your covered you can't be to careful with today's no win no fee lawyers
  2. Any one know of a tip site have some leylandi to remove looking to tip 20-30m3
  3. We use chips as a road for 40 tonne dumpers no problems even when very wet construction needs to be good quality, box cut to hard formation level, constuct fall to shed water, terram membrane place hardcore or oversize compost arisings top with wood chip not tree chippings
  4. Just finished moving Acer palmatum about eight feet tall, I used Avant loader to lift rootball into 300 litre pot trimmed roots to fit pot reduced crown 10-15% wrapped trunks with wet coffee sacks and kept crown misted with sprayer to reduce desiccation taken from Hastings to West London in a covered trailer with stop to keep damp have not planted yet but has not lost any leaves placed in shaded area in new garden with automatic watering to crown and pot client now has to make up her mind where to plant!
  5. just mot as class seven The engine is not LEZ compliant so no working inside the m25
  6. I have seen bulldozer blocks that have been stitched back together with grub screws threaded along the line of the crack then more in between to completely seal the joint, a run of weld was then placed along the top and ground of .When painted the repair was invisible, you may have to strip the engine depending on crack location
  7. no they do not fit but it is possible to make new back plates for the attachments or buy at some cost from avant
  8. no plate, the number plate was on but no serial no or weight to identify chipper the number plate belongs to the towing vehicle
  9. yes ministry stopped us at Dagenham no plate on timber wolf =£60.00 fine
  10. your chipper needs to have a plate it is not legal to run on the road without the chipper having a plate stating weight and identity
  11. way off we are nearer to 65p but it depends on so much, transport, soil, and supply of plants
  12. We have given up on paslode too much trouble now use air which we find faster more powerful far more reliable and much cheaper especially for fence work
  13. my 130 with driver, full tank of fuel, as a flat bed no tipping gear carries 1.195 tonnes weighed last month fully loaded with wood chip 1.2m sides 4.9 tonnes i was working on site with a weigh bridge and did not leave site!
  14. probably not transit is light commercial not dual use
  15. i think the problem is in the words hire or reward anybody know the legal definition of either ?
  16. Just read Response to public consultation on implementing EC regulation 1071/2009 page 47 I understand this says that the small trailer exemption stays as long as the trailer is not for hire or reward ie own business use but an o licence is required if you transport goods for others, is this definition for the trailer exemption what we have now?
  17. disco and range rover towing a trailer with mam of 3500kgs have always needed a tacho unless for private personal use
  18. i thought that anything 3500kg and over required a tacho and operators licence
  19. Pm me have good tip for all arb waste close to Benfleet
  20. Found out to my cost cvi are not worth the paper there written on.They need to be backed up with written instructions from the client. A large national construction company issued cvi's to us, the quantity surveyors refused to pay as we had not agreed rates or recived an order from the surveyor, A VERY costly experiance. I domestic work they might be better, I would make them detailed
  21. How about making the chipper hydraulic?, then powering from the towing vehicle, To make it work the chipper would have to be small. the power could come from pto or diesel power pack this would alow positioning of the chipper anywhere on the trailer.
  22. I will try to upload some next week
  23. Then all you have to do is make the body. there is plenty of space between the chassis and the support rails to make saw or tool boxes, i have fitted mine with a load handler instead of tipping gear to reduce weight.
  24. the weakest part of a 110 chasis is behind the cab this is the area that the plates go over from memory the plates weld either side of the chassis and are thicker than the original steel
