hi iv just put my new trolley on (ebay item no 28028151294 ) what do you all think of it ;D?????(new web site on its way )
-
thats like what i done wiyh mine,a 25lt doesnt go far what i used was 70 lts,just a bit heavy carting around when full,but looks good,just put them numbers in ebay,nothing came up
-
Hi
Looks ok but I was wondering if the tap at the back (on/off) was a bit high. Would that not leave 5ltrs of water that could not be used.
Good luck with it anyway.

hi tony yes you are right iv don it that way so you dont have to turn tap of all (if you want to remove )the time when u finish your job and its easy to pic up with that bit of water in it i did try it at first but found it more work but thanks any way
-
Thats similar to mine but I have a motor on it for portability. ;D
-
hi jewel looks good bet it fun to pic up with my trolley u can remove 60l water tank and yes it dont rol away it s got rubber feet easy to put in car or van i had me wifes car 1 day when my van was being service it a hyundai gets it will fit in their no prob and sum water to .
-
Do you like mine? :P :P :P
Those ones work better from the tops of car roofs. No need for a pump then as they can be gravity fed.
-
think you are right jewel will have to get new pic with sexy girl pulling it hehehehhe
-
the pic up for the water is in botton of barrel so no water wast it a good place to put fillter to and it will empty barrel dry
-
thanks for time jewel iv sent a lot of time and money on this so glad you like it
-
looks like youve worked hard on that mate well done
nice price
-
thanks LWC I have its not easy to get things don just how and when you want it
-
tell me about it!
one thing for me although it is nice to have that water is thinking about either using a smaller tank or some way to get in ad out easily of van
i had a 25 litre trolley system and after 6 months of lifting in and out i was in some serious pain and im a big lad, some sort of ramp maybe?
i dont know just putting some ideas across ;D
-
hi LWC you remove it from car /van with out water in it then fill will 12v trans pump or from 25 l barrels but after u fill it you dont have to refill so often that save so much time and with the remote switch you save more water and time
-
Does it come with a weight lifting belt for moving it in and out of the van.
if you lifted that on your own when full you would end up with really bad piles. ;D
-
its only 24 k with out water and why would you want to lift it full of water to fill with pump will take 30sec and to fill with 25 l barrels dont take much longer
-
but say you have 1 house, you fill it and have water left
at some point your going to have to lift it mate. trust me ive been there. i know what trolleys are like
-
yep iv been their to ( i work all day with this )if you were doing 1 house you would fill it with 15 20 litres water and that would be 20 k and thats easy to pick up or if you have a trans pump you can pump it back out to van tank . if you have big jog to do connect it to van tank and work all day off a hose . you only need to put the water you need to do the job ie
if you are doing a street of house fit it up with 60l water and clean lots of house no time wasted going back to fill up
so its much more flexible than a van system you can get to them hard to clean windows with easy .
-
yeh i know
nice job
-
yep lwc iv got a van system and its to much work to use it so much easyer and qwicker to have a trolley system i work by my self yes may be with 2 working its not so bad with a van system .
on a main road with a busy path way its so hard to get hose safe so even when iv hade 2 ppl working with me is still faster with a trolley .
-
jewel the weight is not realy the problem its the balance of the weight it easy to move over soft grass and easy up and down kerbs each wheel will take 100 kilos . and this is NOT A SACK TRUCK it been made to do this job and not converted from a old sack truck .
but thanks for your comments any way .
-
you need to try it jewel it so easy when i got balence right in the end well thats how iv found it any way and all iv sold so fare all iv had is very good reports how easy it is to move .
-
yep see you jewels if you want to try it out im more then happy to give you a demmo thanks for your time and lets be safe out their
-
do you want the truth ? my honest opinion is its **** i dont want to dishearten you , back to the drawing board .
-
can i ask why you think that what do you think is wrong??? it easy to move even with 60l water in it much easy faster than a van system and much easyer to clean with
very easy to get out from car or van can be set up in secs
will do big jobs beter than a van system
you can get to hard windows with ease
if you working on busy path no need to drag hos down path or when working at office block with office staf in and out tripping over your 200m hose
and if you dont have a van you can get away with a car
-
24k without water lifting in and out of a car will damage your back in time , the water container you are using ,how much water do you see ? none . it looks bulky minght not be but from the pics it looks it . take a look at this 1
-
if you worry about lifting up 24 k you can remove barrel and battery in 25 secs(and refit) this makes the trolley 12k and that trolley you show is 20k u have to strip the trolley to remove batter and will only hold 25l of water is not remot operated (so you wast so much water). also from what iv seen is not very strong and just made from steel wich will rust even when powder coated . my trolley will fit in most small cars same as you show .
can i ask do you and have you worked with a trolley and if you have you will know 25l dont last very long if you clean windows right thats why i fit a 60l barrel this save so much time . hope this anser all the down side you have fund ????????. meny thanks alan
-
i have a shurflo back pack ,more flexible and lighter, you can always buy fold away if you want to wheel it round, it takes about 23 litres
-
cant see any advangtages personally, with my freedom trolley i leave it in my
car and use as van system i run 50 mts of microbore off it. every time i run out
of water i just go back to car and drop hose in another barrel.
im no weakling but lugging around 60 ltrs of water plus weight of trolley
no matter how well balanced is going to cause you problems at some point.
-
hi gary but if you were doing a big job you would have to go back 2/3 time more to fill up the trolley . yet with my trolley when doing a small job lets say a job that you need just 25l water to do it thats all you would put in it so no ext lugging around is needed and yes you can fit it in same car and run a hose from it .
maximun height with handle removed is 68cm
maximun width is 54cm
maximun length is 47 cu
dont know size of your trolley but its about the same i think

Pureease ... I have used a trolley - Peter fogwills 50L (2 x 25L jobby) - a backpack - the 16/18L shurflo - a car with barrels, a car with a 125L plus barrels, a car with 175L plus barrels, and a van - 400L tank.
For me the van does the job and I don't use a backpack or a trolley at all. I run the hose thru houses from time to time and overall I find it quicker.
But... if I had to use the family car - which I did until I bit the bullet and financed a van then a trolley is a good idea. Personally I like the 2 x 25L of Peter Fogwill because you can choose how much water to take (25 or 50L) and it's quite light to use and put back in the car. The frame is light, the battery is easily removable and the barrels are usually low to empty.
I've never gone for a trailer but I think that is a solution too.
Overall for me a van is the best answer and if I had a job (say, internal courtyards) that demanded it I would go for a backpack or trolley - but only then.

hi malc my old trolley had a 2 barrel fitted if customer wanted it i found it hard to work with. This way you can have 10l or 20l or 40l or 60 l what ever the job needs no part fill barrels at end of day and much easyer . i find van system hard work but each to his own , when i hade van system got fed up of byeing new plant pots . silly me ;D

dont know size of your trolley but its about the same i think
no need to refill my pure freedom trolley there is no fixed barrel to fill up
like i said before just drop hose in new barrel and off i go again.having to
constantly refill a fixed barrel takes up to much time and energy.when my
250 ltr tank arrives and i have time to have it fitted in my ford escort van
i will simply use my trolley the same way as i did in my car except i wont
be humping barrels around every morning way easier
-
gary i dont think you get it the barrel will remove in secs and if thats how you want to run the trolley you can do the same with my system all you need to do is the same as you heve be doing put a pip in a 25l barrel and run it like that or run it from your new 250l van tank . but when you cant get hose to your job fill the trolley and work much longer than you do with your trolley . this i fund very good reserch to see how ever 1 is working with a van system or a trolley meny thanks agen alan
