USEFUL STUFF
Wheel-less ‘trailer’
is good in tight
corners
H
aving something on
a plot that one can
cart stuff about with
that is larger than a wheelbar-
row is a really great help, and
obviously a small trailer for
your tractor comes to mind.
But new on the local market
is an implement named the
Mossiewa, that surpasses
even a trailer in handiness
and maneuverability.
It is a lifting platform that
attaches to your tractor's rear
hydraulics and as such allows
you to load items at ground
level (ie no arduous lifting), or
off stacks at some height off
the ground.
Moreover, being wheel-less it
is much more maneuverable
than a trailer, and will thus
prove especially popular with
nurserymen, tunnel farmers
and stable yards where space
is at a premium. And, of
course, you will never suffer a
puncture!
Designed and manufactured
by Mr Hangar of Pretoria
North, the lift trailer is
available in four models to
suit all sizes of tractor
hydraulics.
The smallest unit measures
900mm by 900mm and has a
capacity of 500kg, while the
largest unit measures 1,48m x
1,2m and has a capacity of
1,5 tons. Two variants of this
model are available, namely
a flatbed and a model with
dropsides, especially suited to
carrying sands, manure, grain
etc.

of a man's hand and is simply
mounted on a handy rafter
or roof beam pointing at the
rats’ nest. Power is supplied
from the house mains and
there is a switch on the light,
although in reality you will
want to switch it on and off
at the mains rather than
LIGHT
clambering into the roof to
activate and deactivate it.
