I couldn't justify spending £500+ on a trolley so I went for one of those 35 litre ones similar to the one in a recent post.Just over £200.I know people will say buying cheaper is false economy but time will tell.There seems to be a fair few people happy with them.The only drawback I can see is the fact you have to fill the barrel and not just switch over.

Is this the one you mean, Craig 72?



I don't know about the quality, but it really looks the part.

If I had one I'd be very inclined to get my name and phone number sign written on the front. That'd make it look even better.

ill just throw this idea in - purefreedom 50 litre trolley.

all aluminium and stainless, no rust.  same pump, varistream digital, 30 meter microbore, twin pole carriers, 25 or 50 litres, nearly 4 years on the clock, 85 amp hr battery. pump box just unhooks if you need it for van mount
I have had loads of people stop to admire this trolley, and several asked if they could take photos.

 Hmmm, pesky trolley spotters  .

Yeah thats the one Wally,or very similar.That's an excellent idea about the writing on the back.I was umming and ahhing about the fact that it's cheapish but I just couldn't afford more frankly.Hopefully it will last me a while.

I love it.

And here's what I love about it:

* Easy to get the barrel in and out of.

* Place to carry not only one, but two poles.

* Hose reel on board.

* Varistream well out of harm's way - (Cannot get damaged by anything less than nuclear strike!)

If you took that design brief to a skilled designer/manufacturer, you'd have a world-beating product there.

Maybe you should get a Trevor Bayliss or a James Dyson interested - or even take it to a company like Numatic who are very big in cleaning machines.

if you can make a good looking trolley you can save yourself a few quid  

£500 plus for a trolley is  just a mornings work for some on this forum :

the best trolleys on the market are pure freedom and x-line

ive got a pure freedom and what i have done is taken their logo off the front and put my business name and phone numbers on

I am with matt on this one,Its just a glorified sack truck, Now i detest DIY,but I got a job today which best suited my backpack. I have not used it since mid December, but charged it up yesterday. Well it would not work, but i remembered reading on here about problems with wires coming off the battery,so off i went to the van and took it apart and yes the negative spade connector was off.but as i pulled top off the backpack i.e the yellow bit which holds the water, the little hose came off the nozzle in bottom of yellow bit.well hose is that short i had no chance of putting it on,Tried and tried and ended up snapping the plastic connector nozzle in base of yellow tank.So I have thought sod it,I am going to use all the gubbins from backpack,get a sack truck and make a trolley capable of carrying 2x 25 litre drums. but as an afterthought i am wondering about using a fishing trolley as someone once suggested on here,does anyone think they will be strong enough?
