I did not receive the pm with the address, but still willing for you to have a go with the TM by the way I’m not into what’s is the best as far as I’m concerned it a tool the same as my porty/LM system they are there to make money.

The eclipse offers 18" of lift compared to 14" on a prochem everest truckmount.FACT

[cleaning co]

well if thats a fact then every one who has paid £10,000 plus for a tm has been mugged och!!! 

[Mike Halliday]

is that at the machine or 100ft away through 1.5inch vac hose : I could continue typing and saying why Steve statement is totally misleading but we are all clever enough to know the science of lift & airflow

and A t/m is'nt just about the vac power

These threads are becoming very boring t/m v porty we all know they both have their place in the market place, as do lm systems. But someone who has spent 10000 on a t/m would not admit to making a mistake in buying one. The same for a porty user trying to justify why they have not got a t/m. The likes of John Bolton, Derek Bolton and Ken Wainwright all use portables and have successful businesses have these fellas got it wrong??

Go to the cleantalk website and check you pm's

I think Steve Gunn has summed it well though - if at the end of the day we provide a professional service to the customer and are happy with our equipment  then all is fine.

My apologises, that site doesn’t flag you, will keep an eye out in the future. But you are still welcome to have ago.

TM, are a very useful tool for flood work, that’s what paid for mine!

Anyway must go and dust off the Ninja got 3 days of commercial work, don’t you just love empty offices 2nd floor, could use TM but noise issue.

Cleaning co,

You need to calm down mate!! Of course a TM has more power but 900 psi on tap and many carpets dry within the hour speaks for itself.

Paul

Steve you're rght someone who has spent £11k on a T/M would'nt be so stupid to admit it  was a mistake,

but

why would they then go and buy another one, then another and then another!!

some people are on thier 6th-7th truckmount, why did'nt they go back to portables.

this is my last post on this subject, like you say its getting boring
Mike

[Dave Parry]

Buying outright is easy -- no holidays. Having posted about not using Ninja its just got an outing. My nephew froze his blazer t/m and borrowed it. Seems his extension lead got pulled out of the garage socket, only slightly but enough to cut the power. Luckily its just a gauge and engine sensor thats gone.

Hi

What about an accountant's perspective. Greater outlay and running cost must be justified not by how much more carpet can be cleaned but by how much the earning rate per hour is achieved.

I have noted truckmount users earning at £40 - 60 per hour this is also achievable with porty's.

The real point is: have truckmount users been able to increase their hourly rate when converting from portable?

David

[paul_smith]

When coverting from truckmount from porty i assume you would increase your prices to reflect the better end result achieved by truckmounts,before you choke what i mean by that is that you would sell to custard at higher price telling him he will get a better result,whether he gets a better result is another subject.
Also if you can work faster with a truckmount you will increase your hourly rate,ie porty takes 2 hours to do job that truckmount takes 1.5 hours both charge £60.00 therefore truckmount operator has increased his hourly rate without any price hike.
Cheers Paul
