Description
3.5t Dropside – Tail Lift, Towbar & Tachograph
Flexible loading & towing options from the Dropside van that has it all!
We class this style of Dropside tail lift as a “3–T“, which stands for Tail Lift, Towbar & Tachograph.
Popular with plant hire & tool hire companies and builders merchants, these versatile flatbeds have a handy, 500 Kg SWL, full-width column tail lift fitted to the rear and the vehicles are able to tow legally – up to their GTW – thanks to the digital tachograph. The Iveco Daily 35C models have a class-leading 7 tonne Gross Train Weight, meaning they can tow up to 3500kg!
Based on a standard length LWB / L4 Dropside (load length approx. 4.3 metres / 14 feet); the bodies of these vehicles feature aluminium dropsides and hard-wearing, specialist resin-bonded plywood, load decks. Our most recent generations of this popular configuration have such features as: pull-up load retention rings, under-chassis roping hooks, strong tubular steel headboard, integrated side steps both sides & headboard grab handles.
A long wheelbase 3.5 tonne “3-T” dropside can be driven on a standard category B car licence, except when towing a trailer with a gross weight of over 750Kg. To tow a heavier trailer the driver will need category B+E. Our maintenance procedures ensure that tail lifts on our hire vans receive regular servicing and LOLER safety testing so you can remain compliant and hire with confidence from Maun Motors.
Dropsides with tacho & taillifts are popular within a range of industries, from plant hire companies to oil & gas delivery companies, to civil engineering & groundworks businesses. A tail lift brings with it a large amount of flexibility, in assisting vehicle loading. These versatile pick ups also have tow bars and tachos, allowing mini diggers, wood chippers & mulchers, mowers, etc. on trailers to be brought to site with the crew and load; bringing cost savings over hiring a seperate vehicle capable of towing.
We have several 3,500 Kg GVW “3-T” Dropsides available on our rental fleet – including some new additions with tachograph and fall-arrest system. Our team will be happy to assist you in finding the best commercial vehicle to hire for your needs.
We also hire standard 3.5 tonne Dropsides without tail lifts and tachographs. Our “3-T” dropsides are an example of our fleet of specialist hire vehicles.
