That sounds good!? How long would 3-4 fills of resin last me if I used it every day?
And is it upgradable or would I have to start again when I moved up to a full system? ???
-
Could you post a link to this system Old Master? ;D
-
fez
couse its good!! but before you know where your are you need something bigger so why throw money away
I now I work with domestic window cleaners
-
Does the pole come with a brush or is that extra
-
Hi Andy,
How much is your trolley?
Thanks,
SteveK

Hi Andy
The title is "cheapest waterfed" thats why I posted details of this system not one of our commercial systems.
The brush comes with it Majestic.
The above system is desiged for domestic window cleaners,although the 3' refilable unit is and can also be used on large van mounts for final polishing of water. The pole and brush are one of our new lines and they are commercial grade.The brush is the same green and red bristle type we introduced to the industry a couple of years ago and widly used by many resellers now.
Andy I have been cleaning windows since 1977 and building window cleaning systems since 1998 so I also know a bit about the buisness and window cleaners requirements. ;D and as you asked the question
Our trolley the Omnitrolley (The first window cleaning trolley in the world) costs £475.00 +vat
It used by 100s of window cleaners, British Rail -South Central have 8 to clean train windows etc.,London Underground also. The reason I mention this is it had to pass strict tests to be accepted.
It consists of 50 litre storage tank,with built in Flojet (special window cleaning pump), built on heavy duty galvenised steel frame, 20" pnumatic tyres, built in 45amph deep cycle battery for long life between recharging (approx 3 to 4 x8 hour shifts), The recharge is an easy to use plug in connector.
The frame is built with offset wheel stubs to enable great stability. The wheels and handle detach and re-attach in seconds.
The trolley can be seen on www.omnipole.com
the budget starter system isnt on there yet but any body that would like to see it can email me.

Ott call us the Barrow boys - its supposed to be an insult but we think it a compliment lol
