Well done, hell of a difference between the ratings. Did they look at your chassis bolts first or just apply the test load and hope for the best!
I assume you lift pumps etc out of pits using a snatch block. 130 Puma HCPU with an Artica 240LR Demountable Camper

They did check the mounts and bolts and then applied the load and stood well back

The grey one is standard appart from the winch so say around 2,200 and the blue one has had some extras fitted and she weighs in at 2,540.
We deal with water and sewage systems so we are exempt from the Taco requirements.

We fall into "Vehicles used in connection with the sewerage, flood protection, water, gas and electricity services" 130's have feeling's as well you know
