Title: telescopic sack trolly
Post by: windolene on March 11, 2006, 08:45:28 pm: Hi,

Now that I have a backpack the next item on the list is a telescopic trolly. I have considered some of the trolly's that have been posted on here for about £25-£30, but have decided to spend a tad more for a better trolly. Does anyone know who else sells this type of trolly just so I can compare prices?

Its in machine mart for nearly £60.
It wieghs 4 kgs and is suppose to be good for carrying 90kgs.
I will be useing it for backs with a matabi backpack next week.
I will report how good or bad it is.

I have a 60 L tank on mine and im starting to dislike it already , been thinking about a ramp of some sort for the van , if the tank is any more than half full at the end of a job its a real pain getting it back in the van !

Not really,it does`nt really get wet but i have thought about housing it just to protect it from getting knocked,but it is usually in the van 90% of the time working the tank in there,Gaz ;)

Post by: H h20 on March 12, 2006, 04:10:41 pm: Heres a couple of pics with the new mini reel,it`s not yet fitted properly,but thats where it will be and im going to be replacing the hose with microbore,Gaz ;)
Title: Re: telescopic sack trolly
Post by: Jeff Brimble on March 12, 2006, 07:25:24 pm: Thats coming along nicely Gaz. Pity nobody makes a smaller reel cause the microbore gets lost on a big reel. Oh forgot Omni do one. Why didnt you fit the reel on the front ? Have you worked out where to put pole carriers ? I found vertical ones to be handy for dropping poles in and out. Maybe leave some space for folding warning signs behind the container.

Do you hav any pics of yours as I want to gt mine right first time around.

Post by: dai on March 13, 2006, 06:42:10 pm: That really is a belter Gaz. I've never seen a truck with wheels so far back before.
Plenty of space for your battery on there. I have used waste pipe to make my pole carriers, one each side. They are held on with exhaust clamps, the U shaped ones.
Just fit something in the bottom of them to stop the pole going right through. They work a treat. Dai
Title: Re: telescopic sack trolly
Post by: H h20 on March 13, 2006, 06:47:52 pm: I have thought about adding a pole carrier but i use a trigger on my pole so not so straight forward but im always thinking,so it won`t be long before i come up with something,by the way have you seen the other pics ,it`s the first topic at the top of the first page Diy wfp trolley pics,Gaz ;)
Title: Re: telescopic sack trolly
Post by: neil100 on March 13, 2006, 08:31:05 pm: Its looking good Gaz.

I dont know if you have priced up M/Bore hose but if you are only wanting 30mtrs the web link below is the cheapest I have found. They dont do any lengths longer then 30 mtrs. Bit if you spend £30.00 they deliver it for free, so its worth buying 2 reels of it.

You want safety yellow, 6.3mm ID, 11.5mmOD.
