Title: What vans and wfp systems do you all run ?
Post by: Blue Frog Systems on October 17, 2021, 07:08:36 pm: Wondered what vans you guys run along with what size tanks and how many users set up.

I'm looking at getting another van with a flat tank and false floor. Needs to carry the usual wfp stuff along with a double dog cage day to day

Additional stuff will be a gutter vac and or jet washer next year

Toyota pro ace. 600 ltr tank
Vito 650 ltr tank
All vans have full filtration and booster pumps fitted and work with 2 guys
We can get the gutter vac in any of the vans , but the pressure washing kit won’t fit in the Toyota

Post by: Smudger on October 17, 2021, 08:46:06 pm: Doblo - single man 500 ltr set up - windows only

Transit 350 - 2 man 1000 ltr set up windows and gutter vac

Relay - 2 man set up 1000 ltr set up windows and gutter vac

Due to arrive - deliver 9 - 2 man 800 ltr set up - most likely a gutter vac as well

Going - vivaro 2 man set up 600 ltr tank windows with room for gutter vac

700 Litre Ionics Pure2o system
It’s a 2 man system.

I don’t do anything other than window cleaning with my van, so no need to fit other equipment in.

In my view this is an ideal (single operator) setup, there’s nothing I’d change. I plan to employ soon, and will order the same van with the same system.

This sounds like a long wheelbase, high roof, 3500kg van category.

Post by: dd on October 18, 2021, 03:50:03 pm: For most one man bands 500l is fine. I would worry about airlocks in a lay flat tank. I think the Grippa 500l tank looks good, it is 700mm high and would be well secured.

If you don't carry too much other gear a van with 850kg payload is the minimum requirement.

I have a 500l tank in a 15 year old dispatch.
