Finally had time to make my new updated trolley and printed my own decal..not to shabby..lol

The hose is around 75m so i can leave it in the van on most jobs.

the pump is a surflo with a varistream controller, powered by a 24ah battery.

the wires are hidden in the frame tubing.

the pump and controller i got for 140

the trolley is 45 

hose was 40 for 100 meters

reel was from the range for 10

and other attachments was 20

soooo around 250 i would say.

that is true but this is not advertising as its my own!! i am not allowed to advertise on here unless i pay a fee. the admin has already slapped my wrists because of this...lol

Im confused. This sack truck is the one I have been looking at on Amazon as I am looking to buy one. This is just a modded one of those then? What is wrong with the op? Is he trying to sell them online as his own  or something?

 yep thats the one matey that i use there is also a cheaper one that is black with red wheels but they dont come in a box and i found they goy all scratched up. never buy the stair wheel sack truck as this was on my last trolley build and i hated it all the time it just would not turn.

thanks matey its really good but i wish it was thinner as the wheels sometimes gets in the way.

but the hose is long and a few of my customers dont mind the hose through there house.

there are times that i think i wish i had a backpack...lol

 
Can you show us in more detail how your getting the hoselock into the barrel on the old trolley? I assume there's a pipe of some sort in there too.

hi matey drill a hole in the top of a lid and get a STRAIGHT COUPLINGS 15MM X 15MM here is the link....http://www.screwfix.com/p/straight-couplings-15mm-x-15mm-2-pack/95828

then a brass tube to get to the bottom of the 25l container leaving a gap at the bottom for flow purposes

on the top of the lid get a hozelock adapter from bq for £2. your good to go matey.

OHH dont forget to make a small breathing hole 1-2mm on the top of the lid as i found out the hard way...i left my trolley in the van sucking from a 25l container and when i was finished the container caved in to its self...lol..luckly i did not damage the pump as the pressure must have been great to sandwich the container.
