New bespoke crush collected from the fabricator / galvanisers

gave up making it mobile on it's own wheels thanks to the Type Approval rules from last October ruling out one-off projects

What are the rules?
I made a mobile sheep yard a few years back and assumed with proper stub axles and lights etc and under 750kg so no need for brakes it would be fine.

Thanks for the info. Overall, a super looking system.
I was looking at the design and was thinking that our fabricator could weld in two cross members in the shape of an arc starting at the angle on the left hand side and a pin welded on the right hand side with a backing plate would take some pressure off the lower pivot. Might be a bit more costly to do something fancy like that though.

Ever hit your head on the angle when open?

Not hit my head . You tend to be on the gate ready to push

The twin down pipes to activate the head yoke means you have to watch if anyone is on the other tiller !!
