Had out Iveco over the scales at tarmac plant was 4480kg leaving 3010kg payload. Not a lot.

That's better than the daf I drive which is 4850kg giving 2650kg payload.
Waste of time really

it happens that for some transports we use a truck with a crane for hire, one of our villagers provides it

do it as well as you can,but learn to do it better
Ldv empty without me but full tank of diesel is 2050kg. Which leaves a lot of payload for a 75hp truck! 🤣
my old Iveco 21' flat bed used to be 4003 kgs without the sides and spare, full of fuel ... gave me 3497 on the truck and 3500 kgs behind it, on over run brakes :giggle:

No f****ng joke if I’d been in cab it’d be under 3000kg with me tipping scales at 154kg currently and my helper being 122kg a lot of beef.
This alone is evidence why decent sized trucks should be easily and legally used in the UK like we can in Australia!

was a good little truck .. pleasure to drive and good on juice ... as long as you didn't thrash it ....... in case anyone's wondering ... the hitch telescoped out when in use so the trailers didn't catch the body ;)

but it was a truck to carry the telegraph poles to the street lamps, very long body and little reach, it has a central rear axle, you have half a cantilever body, I think it gives you road set-up problems when cornering, the drive shaft is very stressed , in the mountain bends it will give you a hard time, it would be an iveco eurcargo, as a vehicle model. non-tipping body, low center of gravity. the hook is the ultimate nonsense.

it is a type of mobile transport truck for removals, a large volume for groupage suitable for couriers who deliver parcels, no construction site, more suitable and versatile for road construction sites, I presume you bring us the pipes for the aqueduct.

the axle was at 3.7m with a 2.3m over hang ...
meant I could carry 6.1m lengths of steel flat on the bed and 12.2m on the overheads ...
you are allowed 60% of the wheel base behind the centre of the back axle ....
the hitch had multiple positions depending on what was behind it and extended to IIRC 500mm which meant you could jack knife an Ifor if needed without striking the trailer/body ...
used this truck for delivering structural steel work all over the country, usually with a 16ft Ifor behind it and never had any problems.
was used for all sorts

roof over a silage pit .. ........ and had to weld the roof back on the pick up .. after he had to cut it off to get it out of the shed he built it in :giggle:

I saw that you made like a roll bar a support like a trestle or with a beam to distribute the load and place the beams between the cabin and the tail of the body excellent solution, you are a transporter, in my part there is a professional figure they call: "Master" would be like a craftsman who makes deliveries, owns only one vehicle usually a tipper truck perhaps not too big, with which he delivers the materials to the construction sites and supplies the materials. small companies that do not own construction site or workshop vehicles when they buy the material, rely on the owner, who takes the material from the store depot and delivers them to customers, workshops, construction sites, charging for transport, someone also has the large truck with crane, or a truck with a small earth-moving machine that it uses to clean the construction sites of debris, rubble debris or carry out small earthmoving or agricultural works.
