That looks the biz if you get a spare evening like to night lol perhaps you could make up a spec sheet as parts used and where you sourced them. you have obviously put a lot of time and effort in to how this works and looks and if you dont want to give away your trade secrets i do understand. Great build

I've just started using mx-20 that a mate got me onto for rat runs and poor access rears.. No messing about with charge up just sit in the van until needed the pressure is stable down to last drop.

this is what it looks like inside the box it is a lot easier to do than it looks I have made about 15 videos which gives you a step by step guild  to make it I am also going to make a video of all the bits to do it where I got them from etc it takes about 1 hour to make box

I hate DIY stuff, because most of what I have seen is crap, but that is very good.
I would happily part with £200 for that. well done mate.
My trolley is really on its last legs and I only use it for a court yard and several landlocked houses and also some flats that I wheel through the communal area to save trailing a hose. Very reluctant to spend £500 plus on a trolley.

This is the one I use, if you buy one it will only last for a short while as the frame rots out.

Ben if you need heels for that Home base /B& q trolley I have made a modified trolley wheel that fits that trolley and I have my one on two years without problems. Don`t through it yet they are good lite trolleys. I can sell you to if you want.
