peter2010 Posted September 4, 2012 Report Share Posted September 4, 2012 so surely most know that everyone will benefit from getting a new transporter so we should all make a stand and actually get it moving cause it wont be long to the new season lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VMS Posted September 4, 2012 Report Share Posted September 4, 2012 As much as I would like new Geraldy transport its not going to happen so for me getting the trailers fixed and new baskets is the way ahead untill the funds are there for Geraldy transportation.But birdage must be increased if we want the best transportation on the market,so bear that in mind at the AGM when the issue arises Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest bigda Posted September 4, 2012 Report Share Posted September 4, 2012 would there not be a cost for lifting on and off each week danny and through experince thats when damage gets done with lifting on and off each week it and when it was mounted it would be on the truck for 26 weeks the unit would be made ridged a bit like a container or portacabin if you like, made of aluminium under 1 1/2 ton I would say it would have a back door on it like the one you would get on a caravanettefor feeding and watering would have watering tanks and also direct mains connectionextractor fans and lights, could be curtain walled or later remote shutters. the hi ab could be got a loan of for a hour work their would be a bay made up to guide the unit on to the truck onto the body where it could be fastened with 1" threaded bar bolt and plates, all in the design and when we finish with it put in a yard and if its weather poof great hope you get the picture and this can be made in about 6-8 weeks or less Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest bigda Posted September 4, 2012 Report Share Posted September 4, 2012 hydraulic jack legs would allow for self drive on and off and no twist damage and not tiying up flatbeds yes but the flat bed would be there, it might not be the next week you go for it from the same company if you let it go that would need be thrashed out and should you have a hold over your sweating buckets if the want it back.

Guest bigda Posted September 5, 2012 Report Share Posted September 5, 2012 Hi mate. just a thout wud the hydraulic jack legs + pumps etc not add a fair weight to your Aluminim body, lighter it is (more birds transported ) axel weight etc, sounds great idea boys, great 4 birds to, if u got realy good deal cud get cheap 7.5 ton trailer to. ATB wat ever decided, there would be no need for bottle jacks as that as you say adds weight, if the unit has 4 lifting points the hi-ab only needs to lift it off the wagon 3 inches on a sideways motionleft or right then lower it to the ground and on a re lift it only has the unit 4 foot from the ground swinging in on, and then down to the flat bed, and as i say this would be done in April and then again in 5 month later September all pigeon clubs should use this method, no worries about up keep of trucks. not even if i got offered a cheap truck, would i support going for it, as the up keep would come a timewhen you least expect it, would cost you more, with a hire company you could get a replacement sent out and you carry on to your race, you can also get hi ab flat bed trucks 7.5 that can lift your unit on and of if it wants too it that is the flat bed you choose. so any club thinking about a new transporter think of one that you only need for racing no one to tax and service and mot and insure at 35k it will be made to last no maintenance and it can sit in a yard till the next year and it will not be seized up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
