Hi all I know your a knowlegeable bunch (well most lol) so looking for some advice.

 

I've been offered two 53 reg transit recovery trucks, five car transporter trailers and ten engine hoists (after I've just brought one!:mad2:) for £3000!! I had to take them as I know I can get more than that back selling them but I was thinking of possibly hiring them out and maybe transporting cars myself as well.

 

What I wanted to know is if there are any tests that the trailers and hoists would have to be subjected to before they can be hired and also what sort of insurances I would need?

 

If it works out then obviously you lot would get discount if I become a trader and it's not treading on anyones toes on here :cool3:

dont know if this is any help http://www.wikihow.com/Get-Car-Trailer-Insurance

hi

you will need the hoists checked at regular intervals as long as you can show a log of the checked times this will help for a maintance schedule

also consider public liability insurance and indemenity insurance which maybe pricey.

If the transporter has hydraulic rams this will have to have a maintance schedule/service report,

hope it helps

Slightly off topic, but you can transport my car from near York to Zedworld if you like? :D
