Title: do any firms have 7.5tonne trucks converted for large commercial
Post by: richywilts on October 18, 2014, 11:58:31 pm: i went to quote a primary school the other day and caretaker said other window cleaning firm that were quoting used 2.5 tonne trucks or something just wondering if any firms have trucks/vans converted with say 3 ibc's on board for large commercial jobs for multiple operators

Post by: Matt. on October 20, 2014, 02:05:53 pm: Tbh richy, I only have a 350 litre tank in my van, I also have 10 barrels, again using the Merlin on the job just keeps topping your tank up with the barrels. On a job am on ATM I start off with a full tank, and a barrel fills up every 21 mins at 12 tds. By the time I am near empty I have quite a few barrels full.

I will try an put a pic up.
