Trolley for traditional window cleaning?

[davewindowcleaner]

Have anyone diy their own trolley?

I was working on a estate with loads of small houses thinking it would be easier if I had a trolley instead of carrying the bucket around with some kind of small baskets fitted on the trolley for clean and dirty scrims.

And maybe some sort of clip on for holding the squeegees cos I hate holster.

Not a bad idea, I could have done with that today. I think @Pickingpaul does something like this.

Herman uses a trolley based on a sack barrow

[/media]I can get hold of a sack barrow

Decent one worth about 200 quid

Can half inch one of mates driving company

Proper solid aluminium

Good videos, give me some ideas of making my own

 

[Dave B]

Same here

I could use something like that on a few roads i do where i don't get the ladders out and do all with my pole and wag

Would be happy to walk about for an afternoon rather than keep moving my car

I only use plain water in my bucket and soap on my belt but i always take the bucket to re wet and rinse the applicator

Something like this could work but it look cheap and breakable.

I saw that festival trolley the other day and thought exactly the same thing. Great end result mate, and so cheap.

Got it at the store, don't think you can get them at small tesco. You will need to go to the big ones.

I wonder if it would be strong enough, as in wouldn't collapse, as it's made for suitcases it would be rigid when strapped round a case. Nice big wheels though.

It a heavy duty, I got a spare one for wheeling few of my 25l bottles to the van, it strong trolley mate.
