My biggest worry with non specific ramps is them coming loose whilst loading. The mention of couple of holes and bolts is obviously a good fix. The last thing you want is one slipping when you are over a metre height. I have the standard ifor ones to go on my 3017 tipper. They clip on very securely. I went for steel so I could weld on a point to attached chains so I could lock them in situ.

Sadiq Khan calls for ban on Wood Burning Stoves and Fires
richy_B replied to LoadhandlerUK's topic in Firewood forum
I am sure Londoner are going to keep an eye on the special air quality alert system so they know the exact days when you can have your fire on. FFS, another daft thought up by a politician that will never translate to reality. -
I like the welded on bollard. Nifty idea.
-
Agreed. You'd damage it and it would look crap in no time. You could maybe do a combo of ply and plastic though. Might get the best qualities of both materials.

Can't help you with wotk but I'd say get yourself those tickets. Borrow from family or credit card. £2k will get you 30 31 38 39 and B+E. If you are serious about tree work it'll be the best invest you can make. Good luck.

Is it a 100km drive from base or a 100km radius around the base?
-
+1. Lovely bit of kit.

Bought myself a riddle bucket from digbits for the mini. Does a pretty good job - seperated out a pile of about 15 cubes into soil and crap on an allotment in about an hour.

True, but the same will go for most kit. You need the right type of jobs and a reasonably steady flow of it to capitalise. If you can fit two jobs into a day where you previously did 1 then you are surely going to see a good return on investment. . Savings are not purely financial either. Anything that reduces stress and strain on your body is a plus point in my book. A mewp may perhaps extend your climbing career, etc.

Leo 23m looks like a good unit. Tricky though as these size MEWPs onwards are getting pretty big and heavy. If it can't go behind a 3.5t tow'er it opens a new can of worms. Certainly wouldn't work for me.
-
That's not limited to MEWPs imho. Chippers, 360's, tractors, winches. Avoiding the obvious dick joke, whatever you've got you always want a bigger one!
-
What's a good size MEWP for tree works? At auctions I often see 13-15m ones and for a few minutes think 'these would be great' but they decided against it. 15m is going to be a bit limiting???
-
If it's attached to the tipping bed it's going to be hard to keep gear in place. Wouldn't you be better shortening the bed and having a tool box/cabinet built on the chassis?
-
Tried. No change.
-
Time and effort I'm afraid.

I click on you and it goes to your profile. I click on message. The message page doesn't not show up your name as I would expect it should. Then anything I click crashes the app.
-
Yes, latest version it seems. Can't PM at all from the app. Samsung s5.

Build some ally plank sides yourself and put on a 1/3 roof and you are away. £350-400 and looks good. Rivet gun and some bolts are you are away.
-
I can't send PM on the app (android). I couldn't search for the website feedback forum. The app crashes every time.

Can I ask why you want to sell a transit tipper for a 4x4 tipper? Do you find you are offroad the majority of your work time? I have 4x4 pickups and transit tippers and for everyday tree work the transit wins hands down. The pickup is the easier to use tow vehicle and with BFG mud terrains it can get most places - but if you filled it with chip and put a chipper behind it you are going to be making a mess of the site you are working on. I'd suggest a single cab standard pickup to run alongside a transit tipper would be the way forward.
-
I'll send you a PM, I have an 18 month old tipper I was possibly looking at selling.
-
I like that. Smart looking tipper body.
-
How much will it cost you to do? That plus your desired profit margin. Don't worry about others prices IMHO.
