Title: trolley 4 backpack
Post by: johnny bravo on April 14, 2014, 05:32:06 pm
which is the most used trolley, hardwearing and light to keep backpack strapped onto.
my old one    bits kept popping off up and down kerbs etc.

may save me getting permanent backache    carrying it when full.

prob just a small aliminium one again, just be more gentle up and down kerbs.

used old one today, bungeed it up,      hell of a lot easier,     put it in boot this time, easier in and out.
used to put it on back seat,   awkward twisting etc  getting it in and out.     you forget the problems they can do to your body.


going to check out a merc vito tonite,    on ebay.     local.

no back support to secure the trolley body onto. otherwise solid enough.

a mesh type frame would be good on a trolley,    then just lift backpack in and out without bungeeing it on, something like a old fire guard but made to size

why do you insist on a trolley?

100m of microbore can get anywhere you need to clean windows.

Hoses are not the best for every situation. I do high street work,it is not wise to have 100m of hose trailing up there is it. Thats where a backpack or trolley can be usefull. Maybe not to you for some shiners it makes their job easier and safer for others.
