Window Cleaning Forum / Re: Electric reel raised or fixed to van floor?
« Last post by Stoots on February 18, 2026, 08:16:48 pm »
Ive had them raised and on the floor. With a manual reel its more important with bending or reaching too high but with an electric reel it makes no difference at all.

Yes I agree that having it raised would be much better plus as I'm also  I'm 6ft 3 will save a lot of unnecessary bending.
Thanks for your input.

All reels are raised I found having it on the floor made it awkward to operate

This forum never ceases to amaze with the idiotic comments.

Of all the people who could be considered takers… mark munro LOL! The guy literally got off his backside and using his own time, money effort and massive risk created an entire exhibition from nothing which filled a niche perfectly.

And then, continued to do it every year, growing it, organising it, planning it etc. for the massive benefit of the window cleaning industry.

Sorry Mark, it’s just not enough. You must also be on here every day helping everyone with what pole hose to buy and brush heads. You just can’t make this stuff up!

I go to this show every year, and always find something highly useful and interesting, not to mention catch up on what’s happening. And it’s also the ONLY show you can bring kids too, so we can go without missing out on time with my daughter, and she is at an age where she finds it all fascinating and exciting.

Mark, I feel like I need to apologise in behalf of the morons on here. But please be assured there are many, many of us who are not morons and genuinely appreciate the work and effort that you have put in over the years and continue to do.

Keep up the good work, and please ignore the absolute cakes who think you should be dispensing daily advice on here instead of organising the most useful show in the industry.

I agree but it's only splash and dash that's having a dig. No one else is slagging him off....


Many feel the same way but can’t be bothered to post on here , that’s why so many have stopped using this forum , ime not afraid to speak out like some

I stand by what I have said he adds nothing to this forum , he comes on here once a year to get free advertising for himself  , never offers advice just promoting himself, and his channel. I expect he makes a decent living from what he does and that’s fine and what we all need to do to run a successful business, he isn’t doing it to help us though he’s doing it to pay his bills and it’s the fact that he doesn’t do anything for free to use an expression that winds me up . Please don’t apologise for what I have said I stand by every word and if you and others don’t like that then that fine I don’t  care but many feel the same way but don’t bother to post it on here as they say it’s a toxic environment. He does  exactly the  same on other forums .

... because a complex oil drilling platform cutting miles through sea, rock and the Earth's crust to a pressurised sea of oil and gas in the elements of the North Sea is going to have the same corrosion and degredation in 7 years as your electric reel has while sat in a van for 24 hours, eh Scottish?

It works for me, after 18 years my van is still going and hope my new reels last as long. I now have everything I need after 7 years as a window cleaner so hopefully no outgoings in the future and I can save up for a new van.

Scottish - my van is 14 years old, my Claber reels and pumps about 7.

I don't intend buying another van.

It's the youngest vehicle I've got.

You will need to replace your Xtremes though.

 ;D

Yes, hold on to your 14 year old van because you can still change a headlight bulb. Apparently the manufacturers are going down sealed Led headlight route where one has to buy a new unit and even the modules. These units can cost £2k, yes 2 grand just to buy and £300 for fitting to pass a Mot.

New Reels.

What a mess! I'd hate to have such an untidy van as yours but as long as you know where everything is!🤣

You are spot on. This is the downside of taking on too much different work. Hopefully when I get a new van I will keep it tidy.

Well said Pete

I have both mine on a shelf which is 200mm higher than the van's floor. I have had them on the van's floor and also twin stacked. In the end I have chosen 2 reels next to each other and up 200mm from the van's floor because it works for me after trying the rest.

Window Cleaning Forum / Electric reel raised or fixed to van floor?

I'm wondering how many of you have got your power up reels fixed on a raised shelf or fixed to the van floor. I can see the benefit of having it raised.
