Think it would be fine. Diggers a fair bit narrower than the trailer so unless your driving like a complete lunatic.... I used to take my 2.8t everywhere on a flatbed trailer and it was fine- these tippers don't look much higher tbh

Just have to make sure they have internal lashing points.
I cannot understand how I for doesn't include the lashing points with the ramps.
Bear impossible to hold anything down properly without them

Yeah true. I used to take the sides off when doing it and stow them against the headboard. The debon has internal lashing points but whether they'd be rated to hold a 2.6t digger I don't know.

Looks to be 8. As long as they are over about 300kg each then it should be fine. Plus the sides can be part of the load security

Nice looking trailer. Not bad price either
That’s a very well priced bit of kit, might have a go at that if the lead time not bad. The nicest looking iveco I’ve seen too…puts my tm spec white ‘n’ shite one to shame! Never could part with £500 extra for a nice colour but you’d probably get most of it back in resale?

Look at some of the options they list too, looks like you can even get a wireless Bluetooth connection to tip it!! Brochure says 800kg per internal tie down point too.

Went in for some tarmac today surprised that with an empty trailer but back full of tools I was 3980kg. Time to shed some of the essentials I always carry around see if I can save some fuel

You won't save enough fuel to make up for the first time you need a tool you'd otherwise be carrying and have to go and get it, or make do without.

I’ve refined a few times so am at efficiency but yeah miss having the van the lads drove fully kitted out so you’ve got everything you need with you
At 4t with a trailer that's 3t for the truck. Truck empty is what, 2220kg? Maybe 800kg of tools is excessive, what are you carrying thats so heavy?

I've just had a look in the back of my truck and I don't think I can see more than 200kgs worth of tools. And it has everything for day to day.
What are you carrying to get that much weight.
Wackerplate and generator are the only things I can think of that would add to much weight
