yes horrible isnt it! I had a blowout with that one on the M1, about a mile before watford gap services, while the 50mph no hard shoulder thing was in force....metal barrier between me and the hardshoulder.....came to a halt and all I could see was a Bl**dy great artic bearing down on me in the...

To be fair if you have working lights etc they tend to leave you alone. Have seen an 12' Ifor being confiscated by the old bill at Pease Pottage services once, bloke was towing it behind a Volvo XC70 with a couple of digger buckets on it...would have been way over his towing capacity.... I used...

Absolutely...although to be fair not much would hold them on in an impact, at least it stops them falling off (hopefully) I used to operate for a contractor in South Devon steep hillsides and flat eights of conventional bales on a bouncy trailer could get interesting....specially when you are...

Out of interest, whats the basis of this? https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/409165/Information_Sheet_Overhanging_loads.pdf This doc says under a meter overhang not a problem. I'm not nit-picking, just interested as I have had overhanging loads on trailers...

Have used a 12' and an adapted Sankey for delivering logs, used to charge 200 for the Ifor and 140 for the Sankey. Never measured capacity but sold a fair bit. Never did it as a real earner, just to help shift log pile in my yard.

I've used a 12' to move a 110, take the ladder rack off, (if it has one) and the front bumper can over hang the drawbar slightly, you want it marginally nose heavy to avoid the tail wagging the dog.

Lazy loading

12'x6' ....i do have a 14 but it doesn't have sides

87 hurricane was 4 years before i was born lol. lovely kit in those days aec matadors and militants, county and roadless tractors:oops:

Guessing you would have been on Husky 280s and Stihl 064s and the like in those days....or being forestry maybe a 242xp...lovely little saw

apologies to the op......I clearly have committed a crime....they will fit his truck I think....whether he should fit them is up to him and his research......

points noted. the finish on alloys usually lasts longer, they look smarter, in the case of the "blindo"alloys used by the mod on wmiks etc they are stronger. i fitted alloys to my trucks because they looked smarter than the wolf rims that required regular re painting, it annoyed me that just re...

admittedly I am a newby, so will probably get slapped down for this, but there seems to be an over-riding mindset on this site that any improvements to a vehicle are gay unnecessary or illegal. I have LED headlights on my truck and alloys.....when the headlights break, I will buy some more, they...
