what ever truckmount you buy you need to talk to people who own them & have owned them for a long time. you need to know which T/ms get sold-on quickly, if something works well and does the job then people will keep them, if its got problems they get rid. Don't believe all this 'wanting more power poope'

from watching the sales of T/Ms over the years I remember often seeing woodbriges hercules, Chemspec ACES, HM Boxxers all for sale.

I haven't often seen any of the big Prochem machines or HM big machines for sale, so I would buy one of these.

Chris.  Best solution to this is always drive in reverse

Mike is your rubber band one still working

I do think  cab saftey  load factors  are important

In my Van I am reasonably safe but my passenger gets it.

I know some Waterfed Pole equipment manufacters regard van saftey as imortant as the performance of the pole dancer

As long as the t/m is bolted through the chasis of the van its going no-where same with the tanks. Unless your van does 200mph and you hit a solid brick wall!

Not sure about the rest of your equipment, steel bulkhead is the way to go!

All the best,
Jason.

would rather trust the 10 ton rated straps to the vans fixing points that i use now,  than the 4X8m bolt that where fitted on my first TM that once snapped during braking from 70 to a stop, put me off a bolt in. and trust the van fixing points first.

Interesting, my tm been in my van 7 seven years and is screwed to floor, does not go anywhere, think you guys are scaring the new guy mitch.

Hydrasmaster are based in Cornwall, never heard bad things about machines and have had first class service on chems, and stuff, but how do you get your machine serviced? Its a long back and forth to the west country.

hydramaster have a fully trained service outlet in oxford, i'm not sure if there are any others around the country but i have found that if you have a problem they can talk you through it even from cornwall!!!

I am sorry to sound like a sourpuss but if you are operating in anywhere like central B'ham a tm will be useless as the access is horrendous like most cities. I do a lot there and its bad enough with a porty!!
