MJB1 Posted December 26, 2009 Share Posted December 26, 2009 good idea , seen a few articles on this system in truck magazines , even seen one system , that has different attatchments for a 4x2 unit, consisting of flatbed + trailer , a cement mixer with it's own axle, making it a 6x2 to carry the weight & also become a recovery outfit .

SPN Posted December 26, 2009 Share Posted December 26, 2009 There's a tarmac contractor in Waterford has one on a Scania. He has a small insulated tipping body for the asphalt and tows a drawbar low loader behind it for the plant. For big jobs he drops the Jak-a-box and uses a normal fifth wheel tipper for the asphalt. Will get a photo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deere-est Posted December 29, 2009 Share Posted December 29, 2009 Seen a similar unit here to Stan, pulls a tarmac lifter on the lowloader and then he can run ballast in behind it with the artic aggregate trailer when the lifting is done. They are one of those things that some people find a use for but by and large don't really see the full light of day what with the evolution of the hookloader etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
