Do I need license for small trailer?

Smurf whats the width of your washer from outside to outside wheel, need to check distance for shed door.

you have gmeister woried now, too heavy and big to put in car.

 

[johnny bravo]

i have An estate but are looking at ramp style trailers

 

[johnny bravo]

Machine weighs around 50kg , with hoses added weight goes up, just ordered here wed, bank hol in ireland mon. decided to get 20 metre hose instead of 2x10, i can always add extra 10 metre hose if needed.

 

[johnny bravo]

20 metres of pressure hose weighs around 20kg.

Gmieset has your washer come yet, you do know you have to put it all togeather. frame , nuts + bolts, add pump and motor etc, like an airfix model.

 

[Gmeister]

Not yet, and no I didn't know that lol!

My mate said if it can't go in boot, and getting a trailer is quite expensive, why not take out the front passenger seat and have the machine there!

 

[Smurf]

I should wait until you see that beast before you go removing seats.

 

[johnny bravo]

60 cm wide, i think youd have to take door off. tow bar = £140 - £180, trailer off ebay around £90 - £200, i dont think you will get it in car. if you have a tow bar already you are almost there.

 

[johnny bravo]

if you get a wooden trailer it would be cheaper.

 

[Smurf]

For about £700 you could get an old but tidy belingo van like I did when I needed to get a van /emoticons/wink.png

 

[CNS-southwest]

For about £600 you can get a escort van (75) with a payload of around 650 /emoticons/smile.png

I take it your driving license covers you to tow a trailer then.
