My trolley system is knackerd,( it runs very well along side my van mount.)
I have been using my mates Pure Freedom 25 Litre Trolley System. Its not good and its not very old and is falling apart already.
So in short I need a new one. What one would you buy?
I have had a quote for a cricket Trolley from Ionic's not bad at £450 plus vat. Thanks.

I have a good Pure Freedom trolley for sale. Mine is rock solid after 3 years use. Pure Freedom by just about everyone's reckoning is the bet there is.

Thanks but I will only buy new equipment.
-
Have you thought about making you own?? Made mine for about £150 when I had it.
-
I have from the parts I have. What I like about the cricket is it has no pump and no battery. Just pressure.

Its filled from the van. I need it as some jobs are not suitable to run a hose.
The trolley is just a addition to my van system.

Ah, it's just that you were using a friend's so assumed you were on a budget. Evn so, the Pure Freedom one is generally rock solid. What was wrong with your friend's? If it is only for occassional use alongside a van mount, why spend £500 on a new one?
-
I dont necessarily need one - unless its one of those things where you didnt know what you were missing!
However I would be really interested to know, find out more, about making a trolley because id give that a good go!
Surely you wouldnt actually make/weld a trolley bit would you?

Fair enough if they pay well. Personally, I hate using the trolley . I haven't found any job where I can't get the van within 100 metres. I would probably turn it down anyway.

No you buy a trolley first, I used to use one like this
http://www.cupboardsdirect.co.uk/p/GENPURPCURVEDSACKTRUCK/Sack-Truck,-Sack-Trolley,-Sack-Barrow,-Parcel-Truck-Curved-Back
It had battery and pump on the back side if it, 25lt barrel on the front and 60m hose reel on the top front.
Used it as car mount when I first started out as well as trolley
-
I bought the 70 litre trolley from facelift it's quite heavy I've had the handle extended cos its to low and made ramp to wheel out of transporter but strong well made bit of kit the 40 litre is very nice too and much lighter
-
i also built one, used an old pump a backpack battery a backpack switch and all whacked inside a toolbox took about half and hour

Got it mixed up with the Quattro that just plugs into tap

I quite fancy this one good price too.

My first trolly was a cricket the filters only lasted two weeks to change them was gonna cost me £120 a time , you need to check your tds in your area because if its quite high it could cost you a fortune to run
-
that trolley is just a backpack, you can make that easily out of backpack spares and a barrel

Not the one in my link mate its a 35l trolley. I have seen the ones you mean on ebay though...very similar.
-
the volt meter on the trolley is the same as the switch and the charging point it will be a backpack with just a larger tank, trust the pump and everything will be the sam e

I agree michael almost identical but its not a backpack... 35l backpack?! No way.
-
Is the Ionic trolley called a Cricket because they were stumped for a name to call it, or am I just talking a load of bails
-
lol i dont meen a backpack as in a backpack that you wear, i meen a backpack as in exactly the same cheap components cheap battery crap wiring that you get in a back pack for about 100 but selling for 250 when its nothing different apart from a larger tank, you could buy a backpack take the tank off and run the inlet from the pump to a larger container and there you go, exactly the same stick it on a sack barrow
-
As much as they get mocked I've been using the brodex trolley for last 8 weeks in courtyards etc and can't fault it. Good piece of kit, not too heavy and robust. It holds 50 litres and at present is reliable. And if you add on the misty kit for £300 you can do high inside windows too.
I await the backlash for this suggestion!!:-)

Point taken.
