Title: strip trolley down or not
Post by: Mike #1 on August 27, 2011, 08:04:20 am
Ideally i need to still use the trolley for the odd few terraced houses otherwise i would have to move pickup a lot more than  i would like ,     I will hopefully be fitting a tonneau cover to back of pickup which is flat ,   To fit trolley in folded down i would have to tip trolley on its side ,  If i use trolley as a van mount will it be safe and practical to operate like this ,

prowindow ive decided to get the extend2wash pumpbox.£145.pump,5speed controller,battery,charger all in one box.easy to remove  for those cold winter nights.

some guys have had them for 2 years with no problems.must be the best value for money pumpbox out there!

i would either dump the terraced houses or ladder the backs and get rid of the trolley mate if i were you.


best wishes

trouble is they are good pays and long term good custys with other houses close which are easier to clean very close by , i would feel pretty bad telling them i was'nt going to clean windows anymore , plus i need the money as i just bought a 1 year old Mitsubishi L200 Trojan

Simple answer is to tell the wife to mind her own bloody business. Put the canopy /tilt on there and put what you want in it. It's a works vehicle. I wouldn't get a new pump box, I would get a new wife!!

Also it will be our one and only motor , so it will be used for everything else as well , Everything WFP will go in the back under tonneau cover  apart from the pole which fits inside the double cab nicely . would post a pic but it wont upload with post

Can't you just mount a pump and controller on a board. Thats what I did. Mounted on a sack barrow its a trolley, back at the van its a vanmount.

Anywhere you can get a trolley you can get a hose surely? And the 1% where you can't just drop them. You are going to waste too much time faffing about otherwise.
