Frails

[Nate]

I think this is the best category for this.

I bought a 52 plate 90 T280 about 2 weeks ago, and I am after some kind of frail to fit on the side of the van for carrying garage doors.

Does anyone know where I can buy one from, the last 'frail' I had on my Hi-cube was home made and did the job, but I want something that looks the part this time, as I could still make one for this van.


Many thanks

if you want a good strong quality one go for a stainless one from glass transport systems they have a web address but dont know it also if you go to them you get free fitting or at least we did with the last 3/4 we had

I know the chap wasn't lying about it being around £2500 new, as I enquired locally for one, and they came up with a price of £1200 + VAT





The only bad thing ..... I had to drive to Nottinghamshire from Essex , 2 1/2 hours to get there, and 3 hours to get back .





Cheers for your help guys

That is one serious frail
Did you bolt it to your vanto get it back

Now you'll need a long arm mirror

[Nate]

Yep, bolted it while I was there, at 8'8 high and 11' long , I don't know of a vehicle (apart from a lorry) that it would have fit into.

It wasn't all that difficult to fit though (carried all my tools with me )........ May have to use it as a template for others and start making some one-offs.

The one thing I haven't fitted is the ladder up the rear door, as I don't want to strain the hinges on the rear doors (and we all know how transit hinges go ) . anyway, you can climb up the frail

[Nate]

Are the longer armed mirrors available, as it is a bit of a pain now to reverse !!!

[MrMPuk]
