FightTheBan 1,147 Posted April 22, 2011 Report Share Posted April 22, 2011 Im currently building a new kennel and need to bring in some slabs. I will need 15 3x2 slabs and somehow have to get them up the road in one trip I have a small trailer (pishy wee thing with a 750kg load capacity). Would 15 slabs between the trailer and boot of the car be adviseable? Any help much appreciated. Its a 130 mile trip so rough and ready wont do. Cheers. FTB Quote Link to post Share on other sites
foxfan 479 Posted April 22, 2011 Report Share Posted April 22, 2011 15 slabs will be nowhere near 750kg, so you will be fine. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

FTB At around 70kg a slab it would be just over a tonne so if you think you can pull that 130 mile then bash on. Can't you take a works vehicle and get them, be alot safer!
