So while we were developing the hot system, I thought "why not?" and asked GrippaMax if they would like to develop a pole rack system together, and they said yes, so again, we set to it, trying to find a workable, and versatile system to securely store our poles and access them easily for work.
Here is the latest incarnation:

Again, prototype models, being tested currently with 4 poles in our T5, and been in a month or so, and do exactly what they should.

My down pipe from wickes does exactly the same job, only cost a few quid.

Don't get me wrong, I used down pipe for years, however, had issues with base cap getting caught, and with staff not being quite as gentle as they could, brackets getting broken. Poles slide through them also.
Also getting clearance for the lip on the rear doors was an issue on quite a number of vans. With this system it sits low enough to get poles in and out without manoeuvring up and under the roof lip.

how much? ;D

how much? ;D
More than some down pipe!
Ring Oliver at Grippa for more details.

I would like a new transit and that lot in the back would £20.000 do it ?
-
No.
Depends what model transit. I have the new tranny and 650 grippa system, 25k covered that.
-
Thanks matt maybe ill do it next year.

Wow more money than sense. There's another thread with people spending £300+ on bedliner.

Nice set up mate but I don't like the pole rack, I prefer the 5 pole rack from ionics.

I prefer the tube as hose doesn't get hung up on hooks and I don't have to support the pole to line up with rear hook and place it in.
Just shove it in and go. :-*

Not about over engineering, it's about taking an existing idea and improving on it.

Sorry but I don't see where the improvement is. Especially for the extra cost.

Uh? What are you talking about?
Saying that most carpet cleaners I've seen are rug munching hairy arsed dykes with tattoos, so why should we care?
What's a double stander? Is this a position adopted when inbreds have sex with their partner and his best mate at the same time?

Not really.
It's like saying a Bentley does the same job as a Kia.
It will get you from a to b but its not the same.
£25k to clean carpets?!
Carpet cleaners and window cleaners everywhere round here.
Guess if people have £40k+ to spend on cleaning they go for carpets but if they've only got a few grand they have to settle for windows.
For that investment I'd want a grand a day on carpets.
What's your company called Susan-couldn't find you on companies house...
