    Isuzu Grafter for sale, TGS Arbtruk tool box and galvanised/aluminium tipper with custom barn doors and static hood. Full LED flashing lights and extra underslung tool boxes, towbar, spare reg. Bought to start picking up my own work but have got too much subcontracting to get the proper use out of the van. New sump (due to a leak which was shown to me before purchasing) and a new clutch (as the clutch was slipping when I bought it) so drives perfectly. Bought from the original owner who’s company went under, the van had full dealer servicing but all paperwork was lost during the companies fall unfortunately (I know the owner well so wasn’t an issue for me). Minor scuffs but in good general condition. 57k miles £21000 no VAT

  3. Hi, Does anyone have any general or specific information/literature on chainsaw allowances or has experience of working within an arb business that offers a chainsaw allowance to its employees and how this was managed. I'm looking at this for my current employer as they are discussing either giving an allowance for use of personal saw/s (due to several people already using them) or expanding their own loadout (which would be a significant outlay if done properly). I know its unlikely but if anyone has looked into this in depth especially the financial pros and cons this would be most helpful i.e. weekly or monthly amount that could be attributed to suppling a given chainsaw based on power output/bar size or any other notable features (groundsaw/top handle/age etc). Comments on the possible issues or opinions on what has worked best for their current or previous employers are welcome i.e. Personal saws encourage a higher level of maintenance/allow for customisation or personal saws can cause issues with use (someone who is not the owner blunting the saw/damaging the saw etc). Obviously this would be a nuanced scenario that relies on flexibility between the employer and employees if it where to go ahead. Many thanks

    Hi I have been a contract climber in Staffordshire for over 4 years and a climber for around 9, having recently moved back to the north east and into consultancy I am looking to whole sale my tree work gear. I was a bit of an equipment guy so accumulated a fair array of climbing and rigging gear as well as saws. Its a large list so I wont detail it in full here but the main points are: - LD2 rigging winch full assembly with enforcer load cell - 500I, 562XP, T540XPII and 2x echo 2511 TES - Full rigging kit including 3x pulleys, 2x 60m rope, spider balancers, large portawrap, double pulleys, light weight rigging kit etc - Full climbing kit for moving rope and static with 2x zigzag plus, ART twinline and ART ropeguide cambium savers, knee ascender, carbon spikes, throw bags and lines etc - 3x protos bluetooth communications headsets - 2x Fuel cans, aluminium and high lift wedges, lots of files for all the saws and spare new chains, 2 stroke oil etc At this point I am not looking to split anything up yet and am only looking to sell it as a job lot, I will consider splitting the list down if there is no interest as I know its allot of stuff and the price will reflect that. I have given everything that is applicable a fresh LOLER as I am an inspector and have been for over 3 years so everything is documented, I tend to keep things in good clean working condition and have photos of everything which I can email or send via Whatsapp etc and can share the LOLER sheet which gives a more specific lowdown of everything, videos of the saws can be taken and all are in good working order with all the saws, bar the 462 (2017), being no more than 2 years old. I have taken the time to retail price check the majority of the gear and it totals to around £15,000, the winch and 500i alone are £4000 new. Most of the climbing and rigging gear is within the last 2 years however there are odd bits that are older like the spikes and odd bits of hardware. At this point I'm looking for around £8000 and open to realistic offers for everything together and just looking to see if there is any interest in such a big load of gear. Its more suited towards a small company as the saws, rigging gear and headsets all suit a three man team. I will strongly suggest that any potential buyers have received structured training in the use of the rigging winch, its very similar to a GRCS with a few modifications (rope brake, exchangeable lowering cylinder) but its not something to just pic up and run with, it really benefits from an experienced team who know when to employ it and how to do so safely (That's where the headsets come in handy). As I said there is a load of stuff here I haven't mentioned but can go into more depth on if there is any interest but at this stage please do not ask for prices or info on specific parts as I will relist things if the lot doesn't go to one buyer. Feel free to message via the website or email if you are interested. Many thanks James
