Iv never liked climbing in gloves for many reasons.. opening biners.. getting stuck in your prussic etc.. i then thought id try these.. 12 Pairs PWS Thermal Safety Work Gloves Winter Warm Latex Grip Builders Size New they arrived next day and im more than happy with them. i now nearly always wear gloves. Hope this helps.

Thanks. Origanily i wanted to buy one complete, already done. However after driving up and down the country looking at the SH!T that people were selling.. i decided to build my own. Cost me a little more but i have piece of mind that i know everythings safe, all pipe work is neatly tucked away and strapped to the body work. hydrolic tank is tucked neatly behind one of the stabilizers etc. Martin

Hi Robert, Thanks for the comment. The Hiab is ran off a pto.. i was advised this is the better option. The weight of the Hiab is approx 400kg. The Hiab is one of 2 that i managed to get my hands on.. they were both removed from uni mogs form some company. these are both as new with no wear what so ever. they both have the optional extra double booms as well. I fitted 1 to my iveco, and am thinking of fitting the other to a landy. I payed £5000 for the pair. The omfb pto & pump + pipe work etc came in at just over £1000. all of which was fitted by myself.

forgot to say, my insurance was a tad more expensive compared to my transit.. wether that was due to age or bhp.. i dont no. mines 2004.

Iveco all the way, more expensive on fuel.. however they tow & carry the weight very well compared to the transit. imo. The ivecos are nice and 'roomy' in the cab.. meaning plenty of storage space. iv had one transit, and two ivecos. wouldnt ever go back!
