I saw a Stobart pulling a moffet the other day, never seen that before

5

I rolled a moffat when messing around one time lol. Does that count as experience? :laughing:

6

Once heard a story about some chick called Moffat who sat on a toffat eating her curds and whey. Lazy fat cow died apparently.

does a forklift licence cover you to drive a moffet? it is essentially the same piece of kit that hangs of the arse end of a truck…

I wouldn’t have thought so. With the way things have been going the last few years, I expect you’d need to take a five week course on just getting it to hang on the back, followed by another five week course on how to get it off again. :laughing: :laughing: :laughing: :laughing:

Definitely not!
A Moffat,KooiAp or whatever is NOT a counterbalance forklift,and therefore requires a licence for that particular type.

I saw a tipper with one last week, why would he need one… :stuck_out_tongue: :question: :question:

I have my counterbalance FLT but I bet thats a different ticket

Pointons from Leek have some of their tippers fitted with them.They collect bins of animal guts and dead poultry,they moved all those turkeys from Bernard Matthews during that bird flu scare. Now you wouldn’t want to handball that ,would you?

That’s because they are not a counterbalace truck,the clue is in the description,therefore the requirement for a specific ticket.
