Talk to varitech or cleaning spot. Every sort of adaptor you could ever imagine is available. Other suppliers are probably just as good but I tend to deal with these two. Oh yeah, and cleantech.

let us know how you go on GB!! ;)


ill be getting a 50L pure freedom trolley soon and i think itll be handy to leave the trolley in the van for the odd job and use it as a van mount!

most of my work is very compact though with house after house after house.some parts of my round takes me 5 days to clean all on one estate! ;D ;Dso the trolley will be my main way of cleaning wfp

My trolley became a van mount in all but name very quickly after I got it. A decent hose and reel is a lot easier to go round with than a trolley.
