I sold this unit a while back. It would have worked for you also.

You would just have to ramp up production and buy an armored car for your bank deposits.

Our small lumber yard has a Slide Back like a wrecker. They bundle and band everything together and just back in and slide everything off in one tidy bundle.

Ooh. I want to see Daves face when they unload

Hmmm.

Back nearly 40 years ago I used to make our (generally Rough) lumber deliveries. We had a 1 Ton flatbed dump. And if the customer didn't have a forklift we would load the material on 2" pipe and dump it...

Possible option, but it required tarping for a good portion of deliveries. This is Finish Grade material, so even road spray is unacceptable. Have thought about the possibility, but not crazy about it.

Finish flooring would probably be to slippery and slick for a Slide-Back. Tight steel banding probably wouldn't be a good idea either.

I don't know what size chassis your Isuzu is, but back in the 90s my dad had two sizes. I didn't pay attention to the specs so I couldn't say what was what. But the smaller one was quite handy and very capable. It had a 4-cyl turbo diesel. That truck always impressed me. Won't be any better with snow traction than what you have now, but I bet the size would be appreciated.

We have the larger one, it's a Class 6. The smaller one would handle 95% of our needs, compared to our current one which still only handles 98% of our needs... And we do have a local guy that has (I think) three trucks - an HD Pickup (550/5500 range) flatbed, a dual axle flatbed and a tractor-trailer unit - which we can and have used. The two larger trucks have moffett lifts which makes our customers very happy!

Somehow missed this post.

Ummm, yeah, sorta. Really too big. If we were shipping that much material per job, 99% 0f the time the receiver would have a fork lift on site, so the Moffett is not a help.

Oh, and we rarely get cash any more. We have a check scanner in-house and don't even go to the bank but for maybe 2 times a year (for cash deposits). Credit card, ACH (bank transfer) and checks make up 99.999% of our business.
