New van and what a difference
« on: January 15, 2007, 06:38:11 pm »
Hi all

I have only been cleaning for 9 months

I start with you guys helping me with the trad way methods.

From then i brought a Freedom Trolley which was safer but alot of the time a bit messy getting it in and out of my astra van.

Now i have just brought this from eaby

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ih=001&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWN%3AIT&viewitem=&item=110076408867&rd=1&rd=1

Well all i can say give me another 9 months and i will be wanting 3 more.

Again thanks you guys for helping.

If it was not for this site i would have gave this window cleaning up.

Dave.........and welcome back Gazza

Hope that IBC is secured and baffled properly , otherwise could be a major safety issue.

Thanks all

Yes it has power steering and also the tank as been baffled correctly and also the frabricationed frame around the tank as been designed good even have the engineering drawing of the structure to fix tank.

The question about poles....i already own a few

I have also brought a Fiat Scudo which i am going to fit a 600lt tank setup in.

are you keeping your trolley?

(I was tempted to say "are you off your trolley" but I thought you might take it funny)

You cannot plough a field by turning it over in your mind.

Plenty of payload there to cope with that tank.  Glad to here it's been baffled properly.  Sounds like you got a fair deal there so long as next month's MOT doesn't spring any major surprises.

gary

I have a 650 litre flat tank in mine, in a steel frame bolted through the chassis. I have the 2.0 hdi with a 925 kg payload.

650 kg water
100 kg me
+ 1 pole 24ft pole and hosereel 50 kg absolute max

keeps me within the limits.

however a 1.9 version with an 815 kg payload - in my humble opinion would be a no no.

£1500 for a van and system? :o

I know where I'll be shopping.

Hi

It will be a 650lt tank but maybe only fill to 450lt.

Looking for a back pack now if anyone is selling one.

Maybe the link below could be my next van..... ;)
