DIY Heavy Duty Trolley Step by Step/Van mount, pics (PART 2)

[WWC]

Lovely looking job [emoji173]

And for the people who wonder what was wrong with the last one… well I make a few bits myself, and when you get into it like jimmyboots, then you keep seeing things that you can change or improve. It just gets in your blood to 'just do another one' but with this change or that. Or just because you can.

Yes, I use a Lidl smart battery charger.

Things like switches, nuts and bolts, spade connectors, hose clips and connectors, I already have.

I used the gardiner all season hose 30m

http://gardinerpolesystems.co.uk/all-products/pump-hose/hoses/all-season-pole-hose-8mm-od-30m.html

The box sizes are

300mm x 220mm x120mm.......and.....240mm x190mm x 90mm

Just another note...

For a cheap non-return valve, put one of these on the end of the hose going into the Water Tank/container. The number #7 one is the perfect size for the hose that I used.

This will stop water from coming out of the feeder hose when changing containers and will stop air leaks so long as you don't run dry and suck up air before changing the container.

My trolley broke this morning so I've ordered the same as you. I was just wondering how you got The metal brackets that hold the enclosures, to bend around them bars.

[TommyGun]

Ok thanks I've had the trolley turn up this morning its a proper bit of kit. Should of bought this to begin with.

Orderd the enclosures just need to find the metal to attach them. Will poo down to wilko and see what they have.

Jimmy what was the total spend on the trolley mate?

 

[jimmyboots]

@silversurfer

Cant remember exactly mate was around £260 I think because I used shurflo pump and Spring controller to last.

@SqueakyKlean nice Trolley mate. Nice and neat :thumbsup:

 

[David K]

Great job ! :thumbsup::thumbsup:

 

[jsmc]

did you just use checker plate in one go and attach the boxes to it?

Also has anyone used a varistream connector on their trolley. My van mount uses this controller and was wondering if anyone has used it on trolley?

 

[SqueakyKlean]

For the checker plate I bent about 100mm of it round under the trolley, now I have somewhere to sit my pole.

I've since moved the hose reel round the back, coz it's awkward and gets in the way when lifting 25litres/kg of water into the bracket at front.

Got 2 good days work done before charging up again, mind you not cleaning every house R&W on the 2nd day.
