Before anyone says anything after last weeks arguments, the weights for the yoke and the frame walk were put down over 10 days ago and very late at night. I can't change it on the front page now, but it should read : yoke 440kg and frame walk 350kg. These are subject to the frame being tested and tried out by all competitors, along with the van deadlift frame, at least 6 weeks prior to the comp.

We've got 2 haulage companies who want to sponsor us, just sorting out the best deal for us and what they can offer. Once we know which one, will find out exact weight of the truck for you. And just to clarify, it's just the cab, not cab and trailer like the UKs.

Will just the cab be heavy enough?

Subject to testing Si, we were gonna get members of the public to ride on the back to make up the weight, or something like that. We've been offered a fire engine, but I'm guessing way too heavy??

Tractor unit on its own would be around the 7.5 tonne mark mate , give or take a ton depending on axle configuration , did Glenn say what weight that beastie unit and trailor was at the uks Si?

20 tonne I think and Alex a fire truck would be good there about 13 tonne if I remember correctly

Yeah in that case an uncoupled unit would be too light as you say , fire engine would look good and you also have the option of adding/taking away 2 tonne of water so versatile too .........plus you can do some crowd control with the water cannon if the natives get restless Grin

Hi lads, be nice to start getting some names in to start the competitors list off. I know there's the usual suspects, but just drop a line to confirm. Also, unless you were in Celtic Carnage, we'd like to get a detailed profile and pics off everyone competing for the programmes and also the website. Entry fees we will just take on the day, so need to worry about that yet.

If you have a willing sponsor but feel the unit alone may be a bit light, as we did, do it as an arm over arm.

In my experience adding people as a weight doesn't make much difference, but if you add a light sled it makes it real hard!

Just an idea
