My New Trolley

[james44]

Can hold upto 125kg i will be using 4x barrels if has holders either side to hold poles and can take a ladder on top if needed for access!

the vertical poles at either side come out so the trolley more or less folds down like a flat pack!View attachment 1688

Why would i want to take it up steps?

 

[Tuffers]

So you could get up them?

Thats what a hose reels for!

 

[Tuffers]

Hang on, 4 barrels, 2 poles a set of ladders and now a hose reel? I'm p!ssing meself here /emoticons/biggrin.png

 

[james44]

I dont see what the problem is, that weight is only about 15st 10lb even weight unless your weak then i could see it as a problem!

 

[james44]

So you have built this so two people can use it?

two people can use it yes! but can easily be pushed by one!

 

[james44]

Is there a reason that you have it this size?

A standard trolley will only hold 25/50ltrs at most this can hold 100ltrs dont have to keep filling up as much as you would have to with a standart trolley, and be use by two people if needed

The point of a trolley is no hoses trailing around isn't it? You've gotta have a van to carry that around so why not just have the tank in the van and use hoses from there?

I bet it could be handy if you've got a good row of terrace houses for cleaning round the backs (if it will fit down the alleys) itl save you popping back to the van every 10 mins. did you make that out of a kite buggy?

 

[james44]

You must have 3' date=' 4 or more homes to do in a row.[/font'] 


And having a long hose on board you park it in front then do the homes that way.

 


Right?

Correct!

you dont need a van at all. the trolley folds down like a flatpack, and can fit into the boot of a car, a vanmount is not the answer for me as it would only slow me down, it is quicker to walk with the trolley rather than keep moving the van.

 

[OoO]

Correct!

Might just as well run of the van then, its looks a good idea tho for commercial jobs. But again off a hose.

 

[OoO]

It sounds like you dont have a van to start with, and are using a car?

spot on mate on every street that i do i have a minimum of 20 houses and for what that will carry i dont have to keep filling up, or having to keep moving a car/van about.

what and drag 100mtrs of hose around no thanks!

i do have a van damo and an estate car, a van mount would be to much hassel either moving it about or dragging hose about

 

[OoO]

LOL. cool. I think by the time you have made that trolley, i would have finished the house (joking)

If it works for you, good for you!

It's a beast of a trolley!! Suppose it would only be heavy for a while as it empties..

Don't know where James is from but could work up our way as some places you just can't get to with the van my trolley is only 25ltr but carries its own reel approx 40 mtr fits in estate car but wouldn't be a permanent solution to window cleaning its purely for houses I wouldn't entertain without it being able to carry the pole on the trolley makes sense to me and really its just a modern adaption of the old window cleaners cart
