CAT D7 on plant trailer

[Godber]

Herbst make a Beavertail , 16tonne carry 13tonne(20') that I'm thinking of buying. Will this be man enough to move a Caterpillar D7. Believe its a 7M series, its from the 1940's. No blade just a swinging drawbar .
Bit of research comes up with 11tonne
Have I answered my own question?

At eleven ton I can't see an issue as long as it is tied correctly.........................

 

[brynseiri]

Can't you get it taken to a public weighbridge to find out for sure?

 

[MrNoo]

My D4 is 5t so I would expect a D7 would be around what you say it is.

You will need at least 2 ratchet straps on that.

Yeah it certainly is, it can be yours too

 

[Rusty#1]

Be the cat I need

To be honest I can't sell it at the moment it's in regular use, I see qf tractors have one which looks like a bit of a bargain if it's right

It's for shoving at a landfill ideally under 16 ton in weight so it goes on low loader , hire will be too expensive say 10 week min period ?

We hire out but generally goes with a driver. A few d6s about at the minute in auctions.
Nice one on ebay http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/CATERPILL...692671?hash=item5d6de5267f:g:k90AAOSwA3dYe3BI
