Trailers

[Vinpetrol]

I’m thinking of trading in my 2 trailers .
Both ifor one is the 1054 plant trailer and the other is the 12ft tipper . The tipper about 18 months old nd the plant about 3 years old .
What is like to know is there any plant trailers out there now that can carry more weight than the 1054 worth a look . ?
Also is there any other tippers on the market worth considering ? Is the nugent an option ?

I though the 1054BT was highest capacity trailer until you go into specialist lightweight plant trailers? I have never been offered good prices trading in, private sale always seem better.

Mate has just swapped his 1054 for a Nugent. Raving about it ! Says loads quieter and similar payload ? No idea on spec only glanced at it yet

Nugent seem to be the way, mentioned it afew times, my mate is a big dealer in them l, I’m working near his yard at the moment, you hear folk driving past with their ifors etc to trade in but never hear them coming back past with the Nugent - they tow silently!

Quite a bit more more money. I like my Nugent beavertail, but it would take a lot to change me from a GH1054.

More importantly- it's not lighter. It's 735kg with ramp door compared to 665kg for the Ifor with it's standard full width ramp.

Ifor is the only real option for moving the 2.8t machines as far as I can see. Why are you wanting to change yours?

For a tipper trailer I'd look at Brian James, don't use mine much at all but seems well built.

This was my exact comment but not dug into it he swore payload was ok. Now I'm going to look further.
Agree 1054 is damn good trailer and 70kg when you that tight on weight is enough for DVSA to screw you.

I was reckoning on seeing what like it would be to change them before spending on them . Mine get a good bit of work as we don’t run with a lorry at all . Commiting to the trailers with no 7.5 tonner does mean they get used a lot .

I’d change the GH1054 but for another the same. New brakes, bearings and any weld cracking is then the new owners problem.

I left mine four years to change and I shoulda done it earlier.

Are you sure about that? I think the ifor at 665kg is for the individual ramp option. Probably only 20-30kg lighter than the full ramp but still.

I like my 1054 and no real reason to trade but id like to see what a Nugent is like as the ifor is definitely a rattly old thing a few years in

That's been my policy the last few times and it's worked out well- never had to touch or spend a penny on the trailers and usually might cost me £1000 to get a new one every 3 years. Current one is 4 years old but it's so immaculate it almost seems a waste to sell it now with so much life left in it. Original tyres at 70% etc

Ifor tippers have gone through the roof price-wise - keep us updated on how you get on!

my ifor isn't great build quality wise think I gave 6400 for it but now they are 9k? ish? but Brian James aint cheap either

Crap. I think my small tipper was about £2500 when I bought it

 

[Monkeybusiness]

I had a quote of £8k plus vat in March for a 12 foot Ifor tipper with winch/high sides/lashing points/light guards/tool box etc etc (but no ramps or propstands) - that was with a load of discount.
I agree that the build quality is definitely not what it once was.

Everything I can find points to 2840kg payload.

Bateson for tipper could be worth a consideration. Theyre solid trailers but not as heavy as an ifor/Nugent. Good company to deal with and very happy to mod things according to your requirements. They are literally silent behind you!

Nugent's plant trailer has the axles more centralised than the ifor, and further apart I think too. Not sure if this is better or not. There are time if I'm moving my 2.8 with a few buckets up front I can't get the digger back far enough on the trailer to relieve the nose weight so Nugent would be better for that. But the ifor does tow very nicely I must say apart from the ifor rattle
