Title: Trolley Pump.
Post by: Gordon_Taylor on April 10, 2016, 12:01:28 am

Evening chaps,

Could anyone recommend a pump for my trolley system?

I bought one  off eBay which is a cracking little pump but by god it's noisy, I go quite a bit of work early morning, it's only a matter of time before I wake someone up.

I'd be grateful for any recommendations.

Cheers,
Gordon

You could also try dampening down the noise as pump vibration I take it you have it in a plastic box is going to sound much loader than it actually is.

The old pf trolley I have the pump is mounted on the trolley frame and must say seems very quite even when running at full pelt.

Thanks Smurf,

I have the bigger pump in my van but was looking for a smaller pump, Ill have a go at insulating the box to quiet it down a bit.

Cheers,
