Nothing wrong with those small cheap pumps they are the standard pump found in most backpacks.

Put some rubber terminal covers on the battery terminals and there should be no need to enclose it :)

I'm betting a wfp trolley that size/weight full of water would roll down an access ramp quite quickly too   ;D

Does the wind turbine on the top power the pump, and if it isn't windy do you have to go home ?

That was my first thought ;D

Also could you gear the turbine to the wheels and make it self propelled?

If you could get a caravan mover cheap would be able to move it to job by remote control will need a jockey wheel as well

Your 100 diy litre trolly idea im going to steal, dont know why i didnt think of making 1 up myself.

I would suspect that it will be top heavy when you lift the shafts...can I suggest fitting a heavy duty jockey wheel on the back end somewere so you can push it round like a trailer. I built a few of these myself and owt over 75 lts gets a bit hard to push if you aint got a smooth surface, but having said that you got good chunky wheels on this one. also that lid will have to be screwed down tight if you decide to fill to brim.

nice job though  8) Pauly

Hi Darran, it looks good.

Did you try it with the tank over the wheels and pump / battery the other end. My reasoning being (if it worked of course) moving the weight of the water over the wheels would make it more balanced and take some of the strain off your back.

The four wheel trolley would be even better.
