When I started out a couple of months ago I had it in mind that I would get some sort of wfp system at some point in time, mainly so I can take on higher windows and other work that is easier and safer with a pole.
I'm probably going to get a trolley to start with but that's where I'm not sure with what to go with. What is the best advice, what trolleys do you guys have or had that you would recomend or not.
Thanks Paul

how much do you wanna spend?
can go with wcw £100 yellow backpack - use it as a trolley not a backpack!
or maybe omnipole - do a cheap 35 litre trolley for £200!
-
I think the Pure Freedom trolly will suit you to the ground,no refilling and all that nonsense,just change over the containers...........simple ;)
-
Money isn't the issue, I want the best value and that doesn't mean the cheapest just not wanting to spend money on things that aren't needed.
I'm thinking one that has 25l containers that are easy to change rather than a container that needs refilled while I'm out.
-
id prob go with the purefreedom then. just take plenty of containers and your sorted!
-
Well I guess the Freedom like I say is your best bet and you can buy a tank later on and double the trolly up as a van mount as I did this when I first started before purchasing their 4040 van mount system
-
So pure freedom do the whole set up for £820, but I don't think I would need the RO as I live in a soft water area, does anyone know whether the would reduce the price acordinly ?
-
I phoned them up for just the trolley no ro or pole etc. Got it for £480 very happy with it.

good call on that, its very easy to just swap then over, less time wasted
all them style trolley's are just glorified sack trucks
buy your self a nice sack truck and a pump box ( from cleantech ) and your all set to go with a battery
get a nice sack truck and it will last, afterall its designed to move about loads all day long

im ordering trolley from them,£820 for lot live in hard water area :<

hi paul,if i remember rightly a freedom trolley on its own is about £530.00 ish :o :o :o bear in mind its from memory though (i wanted another couldn't afford that so i got some friends to make one for me,the result is i've a trolley thats equally as good if not better than the freedom in many ways and the freedom is good,i'm hoping to get some more made after crimbo,i'd post some photo's on here but don't know how as i'm not very computer savvie could anyone help me on this?)the only niggle on the freedom trolley is the butt can sometimes fall off-usually going up and down steps as it does it can twist your wrist-anyone had this happen?
-

£480, that sounds excellent as I see the polar brite is £585 in wcw catalogue and even there own H2-Go trolley cones in at £495.
-
Yeah phoned inittally they said £520 said i would think about it. Phoned back a couple of days later expecting to pay £520 but when i asked again £480. May be i was just lucky worth asking though.

Big thanks, top bloke for driving all the way from Blackpool on a cold snowy winters night 140 miles to deliver the trolley.

I have a freedom trolley which I would consider selling for the right money, Im not 'giving' it away, it would come with 8 barrels as well.

why in a rush to go WFP murdie when uv got a v.small round?i would concentrate on building ur round and get good at trad and trad pole work for now and as ur business gets bigger go straight for a van/van mount when funds allow.youll soon tire of humping 25 lt containers about and ull probably do ur back in!then theres the extra cost of wfp without the work to justify it!only my opinion!best wishes whatever u decide to do anyway! ;D

No great rush, I've had it in mind to buy a trolley from the outset so this opertunity came up and deal was done. It could take me a while to get the rest of the bits and pieces I need to get up and running so by the time I've got all that I could have a few hundred more custies ;)
-
in my opinion it all depends on your round i struggle to park most places so a trolley is idea, I would spend alot of time on my own reeling hose in and out with van mount to many snags and time consuming , I find the trolley spot on and never found it chore with containers , guy round the corner has van mount he said he wish he had a trolley now as it is far easier
