THE SCAM THREAD

[Justme]

This.. don't get me wrong eBay's handy ..I buy all sorts of it but.
Something big...get on the blower..30 seconds on the phone I know if I want to buy off em..

Tried that.

They dont have any.

Missed one & the only other one i found was not for sale yet as he wanted it to use for a bit. Plus long way out of budget too.

We dont have many plant dealers round here.

Ridiculous prices, not in UK. Way to much stock...what could possibly go wrong.

brave place to park it

 

[Lancs Lad]

So it's looking like it was worth more than 7k then

 

[Shovelhands]

I’d think that autolube would come in well under 7k…..

I thought the same
That's a really vulnerable place
Up high behind the cab would be far better

So they’ve added extra svivel through the engcon to do the lower hitch etc, is worm gear oil or grease?

 

[Giles]

Not scam but saw on Facebook heavy roller in a sprinter!

It’s only Rototilt who run oil lubrication in their tiltys.
None of the others are built to the same tolerances or are strong enough to not flex so would leak, so have to use grease…

 

[Regy53]

A contractor with a bit of kit on hire only noticed a 120 roller had gone missing last week.

Checked tracker... was stolen in January....

I'd be inclined to look for the smell of fish 10 months FFS how can you not notice/need that for that long

 

[Regy53]

I don’t want to comment any more on it as it’s privileged info but was legit.

To be fair if someone stole one of my dumpers it'd take years for me to realise.

I bet it's more common than you think.
Medium sized company's with kit on long term hire that they move around themselves between different gangs.
Hire company thinks it's on hire.
Groundworks firm think it's been off hired.
Nobody bothers checking until someone in the office phones round the gangs looking for it as it's needed.
