Very good Lee. The spreader plates are smaller than I expected. How many in total 8?

My mate is having a tank only fitted tomorrow so will see how it's done close up.

What size was the tank?

They wouldn't come to my place to install, they said I had to drive to a fitting centre

Not by the look of it? Good video, informative. Be interesting to see a video of the only other crash tested system out there being installed, can you arrange that Lee?

Cant remember think it was 350 or 450 I can check later...... interesting to note that in this film http://youtu.be/U2Na6gzEbBs Mikey has a 650L GrippaMax system. Because of its low footprint it looks way small like a 350 or somert.

It's not the easiest to work out. Fitted from about £1.5k to £3k . You can pay monthly.

They make a point of not fitting to the chassis as they believe it compromises vehicle integrity.

Good to see that they delivered on their promise that there would be one of Grippatank present during installation. My installation back in July didn't exactly go smoothly, due to the mess up on part of the engineering firm they employed. They had never seen a Grippamax system, nor did they have the installation instructions. Had to basically tell them what to do as I got the manual send to me that morning by Grippatank. Good to see it's all running smoothly now.

It's a great system.

Oh right, didn't know that. Be good to see both Ionics and PF installation procedures to compare them all. Obviously if they would let you in with your camera!!

That's the one. Looks likes its cost a fortune and is about 10 per cent complete. The systems look great but I imagine like a lot of people, they'll be out off completely by the website

Hi Oliver,

Seeing as your asking I'd say what my bugbear about you site is, is the ease of navigation and more importantly the lack of pricing info. One of the first things I look for is an exact price on a product, I hate it when something is sold as from £####, if I have to go looking for an exact price I tend to think its gonna be expensive. From my understanding for a crash tested system your tanks aren't expensive so you should make the price for each specific product jump off the page.

Out of interest what price are your gutter poles and what diameter to connect to the suction hose. I had purchased some carbon fibre poles from another company but it looks like they stopped supplying them.

Simon.

« **Reply #30 on:** April 26, 2013, 09:07:11 am »

Thank you very much for your reply Simon. The only way to improve is to listen to feedback!

The feedback has been noted - exact pricing for all products. As well as the standard pricing, we appreciate everyone has a different requirement with regard to the cleaning systems, so we are currently completing an updated online system builder which would enable you to tweak the system as you require!

The poles are designed to work with the 51mm dia range of vacuums - we can however supply different kits to work with 38mm if required, although we do not recommend 38mm dia vacuums for gutter clearing.

Pricing starts from 84.95 + vat

Great Video Lee, the GrippaMax looks pretty impressive.
