Title: WHICH TRUCKMOUNT?
Post by: DanielWelford on February 16, 2007, 09:03:34 pm

Probably had this posted before, but am considering step up to truckmount, but to recoup cost asap, looking for dual wand system so can cram in even more work.

Any recommendations?

I still can't understand why you guys pay so much for your equipment in the UK.  I bought a Prochem Everest HP (3000psi) dual wand for R280,000. Also I didn't import the machine myself but through the Prochem AGent in Johannesburg.

Consider that the exchange rate is 14 to 1.

This included 7 additional 15m Vac hoses
7 additional HP hoses
1 Additional Prochem quad jet carpet wand
Full reel for hoses
R57,000 was for the Trailer designed to house the machine
Import duties and VAT (which I got back)

I am considering getting the Prowler as another machine and expect that to land in the country at about R55,000 (still have some homework to do)
