Backpack users, bit of advice please...

This trolley takes up to 4 barrels but you need to be Arnie to push up the hill!

What trolley is that? I like that, I am toying with the idea of making something like that with a pump box that I can run in the back of the pick up on the houses I can get away with it on.

It's a welders trolley, for the gas bottles just welded some bands on to hold the drums in and a metal ring to hold the pole.

I don't use it that much now as I use a single trolley more.

I'd sell it if anyone untreated. ...

I thought I recognised it but couldn't place it, friend of mine runs a welding shop got loads of them kicking about, I thought I had seen them on ebay or something.

its a good job there are no hills in cornwall then..:rofl:

these trolleys arent so bad then as your never actually lifting the full weight off your car but just the individual barrels...

maybe something I will look at in the future as currently on big jobs I dump barrels along my route..

yes some nosey old custy is going to come home and think somethings up whats happening..help police theres a strange barrel just appeared in my garden..

dont have a lot of work like that at the mo as mainly odd jobs ....like the one Im off to shortly where hopefully my tenner is awaiting..dont get excited thats twice

but pull on drive out with trolley bish bash bosh and off I go..

coming soon....a much longer hose...meaning leave trolley in car.../emoticons/biggrin.png

or of course...if you a bit flush...theres always the ionics one...75 or even...95 litres...I got all excited til I saw the price..
close to £2000 for the smaller one

but...its probably very good..

Hi mate can you get anything similar to the ionics trolley but a lot cheaper? Liked the look of those too until just read your post, cheers

the only other one I have seen is 35 litres think its called big boy...will go and have a look...

yeh big boy seems to be 22 litres but there is a 35 litres out there some one will know it..

as they say bigger is better or so the wife says anyway...:rofl:

i used the john hewitt esr 505 3 speed on my back for years no problem, i put it on a sacktruck when i got a van, now i use gardiners bpacks & i deff wouldnt use one of them on my back !! my v2 takes 16 mins continous flow to empty on low flow so if your nipping the hose shut between windows only really big houses need more than 1 the v3 is bigger with a more powerfull flow my son uses it & he's faster than me but uses more water but the higher the flow the quicker the battery dies

I got the Gardiner backpack and pole...I was a sceptic but it's great for getting at the odd windows I can't otherwise access...the battery seems to last forever, I've had it about a year and apart from its first charge before use I've only recharged it once...now I've said that it will probably die on me tomorrow...the handle is moulded into the body and I hump it around without a trolley.
