Post by: Dean payne on April 29, 2012, 01:55:38 pm: http://www.windowcleaningwarehouse.co.uk/shop/tanks/floor-fit-flat-tank-anchorage-system.html

I have a mid size van and I have a pure freedom trolley I have been using so far so I want to go the next step as funds are low to go for full van mount right now, I was thinking of having the tank like this one which comes with all securing parts needed to make it safe, the tank I have opted for will be a 400l one, and will get a reel 100m microbore.

Just wondering what you guys think of this item for my first tank which comes with secure bars bolts ect to keep it from moving in your van and for if you have a impact.

any thoughts the 400l will fit as measureed.

If I was you I would enquire at a local engineering firm and see how much they would charge to fabricate one for you.

At the moment i am still building up but i am getting away wil using purefreedom trolley with 12 25l barrels, but I know thier will become a time where i will need a tank and becuase I am canvassing everyday plus using leaflets I am building it up quickly at the rate of between 3-6 new customers per canvassing day at 2-3 hours next weeks target is 20 new customers, last week i got 12 so going for 20 this week at this rate i will soon need a tank.

I have had in the past sales jobs so i find it so easy to sell a window cleaning service, I hated canvassing when i first did it but now as ive had good sucess with it i now know its the most effective way to build up a cleaning business quicky only started canvassing seriously 10 days ago, wish i had of done it months ago when i was just putting leaflets in peoples doors.

So thought I better find out about having a tank fitted soon and use my purefreedom trolley to pump it down a 100m hose, then later full van system.

On frame product page when you add the extra money for 400 ltr tank it is for a frame for a 400 ltr tank as the lower price is for a smaller frame , sorry mate . Mike

Post by: Mike #1 on April 29, 2012, 03:32:15 pm: That tank frame is not worth the money imo as advised look for local enginering firm who can build you a frame . Which willl be far better quality .

I am sure you will be able to find a small firm near you who will be more than happy to help you out and no doubt for similar money . Mike

Post by: Dean payne on April 29, 2012, 03:47:33 pm: Ok i think I will take the advice from you boys, I will just buy a tank when the times comes and I know a small firm which does fabricating / metal work I get it and take it to them and say sort it out, but i wanted something where i can take the tank out as i have a nissan cargo which will easy take the weight load, but its a mid engine van so the seats tip back to reveal the engine , great lill van mint condition only got 32000 on clock and its 10 years old hene why i got it, only thing is its very noisey anything over 55mph but i can live with that.
