HIAB xs 622 hi-pro. Will lift 3.35t to 14.7metres or 10.7t at 2metres
This is before it went on the road
People think that towing a trailer is literally about hooking it up to the car, yet the dynamics of a trailer should require a separate test in addition to the driving test.
There was absolutely nothing the driver could do to stop the snake, even though he was driving a Range Rover.

Nice we occasionally use a guy with a similar spec HIAB but on a Scania 8 wheel unit i will have to get his on the weighbridge now to see what his weigh's just out of curiosity

They don't have electric brakes trailers in the UK? Larger trailers usually have them here with smaller trailers using surge brakes.
Towcar weight does play a big part in stability, but so do things like wheelbase (4x4s are normally relatively short), rear overhang, suspension, tyre pressures, etc. And on the trailer/caravan - weight, noseweight, vertical CG, weight distribution, side area, tyre pressures, hitch type, etc.
