Bit late to the party sorry! Yes I do. I love mine. Really handy tool. Admittedly the most it can lift is about 250-300kg depending of size of person on the back. But very versatile plus fits through a gateway when I’ve got the narrow wheels on.

This thing is so handy. I love being able to stick it in the back of the tipper. On site it means that your skivvy can be bringing you materials or tidying up whenever he's not hand digging or whatever. Worked really well bringing planings to the digger.
I had the luxury of a forklift on site to dribble the gravel out, but it pushed five tons around with the leveller in ten minutes. Wouldn't have taken much longer to cut the bags and scoop out of them with the bucket. These attachments are built STRONG- the leveller weighs as much if not more as the one for the MultiOne. The bucket is incredibly solid- you can see that the primary use for these is demolition.
Loads a truck in five minutes no sweat, and loads it centrally unlike a high tip dumper. The wheels go under the truck body and the curve of the arms clear the sides which is brilliant. Yeah, you could do this job with a bucket but it is so much easier with this, saves time changing over from pecker and is much quicker. Would be a different story if you couldn't take both on one load but as it fits in the tipper, no sweat.
I haven’t had occasion to use the narrow wheels or grab bucket yet.

I hate to tell you Dooby that's not a truck it's a LDV Wheelbarrow.

I love it, it's a future classic! Don't know why but it puts a smile on my face driving it, thrashing the s**t out of it's 75hp
It's only done 40k, and had only 23k when I bought it. I do need to sort the rust before it gets any worse though.Technically it can carry more than the Iveco behind it, but it doesn't carry it half as well. Anyway, it's a spare and comes in right handy on jobs like these, one guy just keeps jumping between the two.

I remember my old ldv tipper, It was like rolling down a hill in a barrel. I could do 60-70 on the motorway but it started to get hot if you drove it that fast.

The convoy is a Sherpa. You look at the floor in a convoy panel Van and it has the same rounded arse of the Sherpa but with a extra bit stuck on.
Our old convoys were stripped down specials with no ply paneling on floors or walls and only one seat with no rubber floor covering (because it's full of water from the leaking windscreen/roof/doors).
Had a payload of about 1.6 ton I think.

Didn’t the Sherpa become a pilot? Relation of mine had a few over the years as they were really narrow to get in churchyards and cemeteries.

Learnt to drive in a Sherpa 4 speed petrol. The LDV pilot was like a dream upgrade. Father has a Royal Mail one that just wouldn’t die. Convoy was a good van till he drowned it.

I've just realise Doob loads his sherpa with a sherpa and drives his sherpa to carry his sherpa.
