and over inflating the tyres'd be bound to help too

Fit crossplys they have better bouncing property's

@ollie I've been looking at this lately and only way would be to drop the tilty in the back of pickup which would mean going back to a roller shuttering or having a sliding floor to keep the canopy

Unfortunately I don't think its that simple Brendan, I would need to do more research but I do know that your ranger, like my Navara, only has a GTW of 6000kg. Which with 3500kg of that in the trailer, doesn't leave much for the driver and any tools and or fitted accessories like canopies etc.

SVTech can upgrade GTW to 7000kg if you fit air bags and the hitch is up to spec. Been looking at this for my Ranger.

Just need to work out/justify changing tyres to gain 80kg of extra rear axle payload then only have to process the paperwork and the 7t gtw is completed.
On the ranger it's a different towbar and towball plus the airbags.
When I bought the all terrain tyres they were the same 110 rating as the originals which means a max 2120kg max axle weight whereas if change to any rating above 112 it will give a 2200kg rear axle. Both will still give 7t gtw but it's another £500+ to gain 80kg.

3.2 auto wildtracks are heavy mines something like 2.2-2.3t empty which doesn't leave alot of room when towing 3.5t with a 6t gtw I know the navaras are sub 2040kg kerb weight so you have a bit more room to play with as standard

You'll have to change the towbar as its only rated for 6t gtw

Honestly don't know only seen one in the flesh, only thing with it is, there is no floor in the middle only the sides for the tracks and front section for the buckets. So if you wanted to load something narrower you would have to add some flooring, also heard rumours that it's only suitable for tracked machines as the point loading if tyres would be too much although this could just be utter bull.
I couldn't justify the money for 40kg or so of payload.
@fred how did yours stand up for general use?

The sales guy told me once that they weren't suitable for rollers etc due to the wide spacings of the chimes.

Do they have different Musical accompements.

The new brian james general plant has just over 2.8 ton payload and it looks good.

I don't think the Alumax is all aluminium, the chassis is steel for sure, think its the floor, sides, ramps and mudguards that are. And you can get a solid floor option but obviously reduces capacity. That Brian James is nice, where did you see that @CPS ? I'm in the market for a new trailer and Indespension don't make mine anymore.

 

[fred]

must/ve been pretty bloody borderline Fred .. that trailer is over 500kgs from memory

just looked and " Alumax Plant trailer is an industry leading trailer with a payload of 2910kg " ... and as the cab-ed Kub is spec.ed at 2790kgs, it don't leave a lot for the tilty, fuel, etc. and some tish

yep was tight.

I'm sure the ifor Gh1054 is cheaper and a higher payload
