Why have a Arb Truck?

In this video I will explain why we have a Isuzu Grafter 3.5 ton Tipper Arb Truck with a lockable tool box for my business even though we are not tree surgeons.

Nice video.
We keep a lidded biffa bin in our yard for our waste, still abit of Manual handling involved, but the benefits are great financially when u find other people willing to tip and pay the tipping cost, its a win win.

cheers. All part of the service people need 👍

[@D.C1111]

Thats right, helping everyone out as we go alone :)

like having a mobile skip mate 👍good for time & motion 😁 I have my rubbish recycling much more streamlined these days . take care

[@dagtailgroundmaintenance]

have a good day mate and take care too

[@boris9742]

Absolutely love my truck, but don’t understand how to get any return on leasing, I charge 20% markup on tip prices, at three tips a week that’s £60 profit a week, hardly enough to lease a beast like yours

Great vid mate. I'm currently at the stage you 'were' at. 6 yrs in and still on pickup truck and trailer. Thinking of making the step next yr. What make of truck is it ?

[@dagtailgroundmaintenance]

Cheers. Isuzu grafter. Not comfortable to dry but best truck for getting jobs done and turning circle

I would have rescued those tree cuttings, I could not leave them behind.

Great video again👍
I need to take your advice on board for the truck and waste. Where do you lease the truck from and what sort of costs are involved?
Thanks

[@dagtailgroundmaintenance]

Leased from Warrington Isuzu. I have just paid the final balloon payment after 5 years. It a big commitment. If your VAT registered you can claim it back off each payment. I was paying £550 a month but prices have probably changed since. At the end they will sell it to you for a small fee as you don't own it when you lease.

Timely video. I'm looking to invest in my first vehicle and leaning to a tipper (currently using family estate car!). I've had reservations about poor weather and crime having access to my gear with a tipper. For my budget, tippers are usually dented, rusty and borderline look like the scrap metal man van. I've been trying to work out a solution to ensure good brand association. What category license did you need for the truck? Great video, keep them coming.

[@jonnevill07]

Assuming it's category C1 or C?

[@dagtailgroundmaintenance]

Category B. You can drive up to 3.5 ton. So a normal license. This truck is actually a 5.5 ton truck in Asia but downgraded to 3.5 to in the UK because we don't have a category for that weight. So it will actually handles much more weight but not legally 😉
You really want somewhere you can lock it up at night. Mine is never left outside at night.

[@jonnevill07]

@@dagtailgroundmaintenance good to know. Yer thinking the next house might need some accompanying land or pay for a lock-up locally.

[@jonnevill07]

Did you have the aluminium high sides fitted independently? If so, who by and how much were they (supply & fit)?
