Title: 2 man set up
Post by: callum99 on September 14, 2020, 08:36:33 pm: Hi all, just trying to get some ideas on changing to a 2 man setup, would it just be a question of y splitter from tank then just double everything else, ie pump controller and battery,, not to sure, advise much appreciated, need to get my son working 😂🤣😂🤣

with a proper van setup its shouldn't be.

i cant imagine anything is quicker than 2 bolted on hose carts

All our work is compact ,except a few stand alone mansions . so works for us . One grabs the trolley does the awkward house , theres one on every street . The other starts near the van . Usually moving the van without reeling in . Sometimes the trolley sits behind the van filling while working . The van I was in did 37 houses today . The trolley was lifted out only twice. No other barrels lifted out either . Although sometimes one is left outside a house as back up . When you both know the round it really is the best way . We are also never on the same house. Makes us laugh when we see 2 guys on a semi .
