Yeah I can see advantage of not lifting, though I normally spend 30 minutes on a Sunday, fill 26 barrels into van, a week's worth.It saves a lot of lifting van mount. Less organisation as you dont have to stand there filling up twenty containers eveyday. Chances are you will always need a backpack as they are very handy for certain properties or if there is dog muck sometimes it's easier to use the backpack than risk trailing the hose in it.
I think I am faster with using a backpack though..Just refilling slows me down..
I like the idea of not having to move barrels but only use 6/7 a day and have enough on with 30m yet alone 100m?? plus would have to move van at least twice as much?Van mount is a lot easier , once u go van mount u will never look back
Don't get ride if your trolly. Use it along side. And get a quick fill to fill the trolly from the van mount.I like the idea of not having to move barrels but only use 6/7 a day and have enough on with 30m yet alone 100m?? plus would have to move van at least twice as much?
I totally agree.It of course depends on where you live but you'll find van mount gets easy after some time. We use both. Mainly the van mount is used for the fronts while the trolly is used for the backs, but that's two of us working. Not gonna lie, if I have a day I'm on my own I'm booking the work which I can do just using the van mount ?

Most of my work are detached properties, I manage to leave trolly on road and get to all the house, also kitted it so I can carry about 50L so I don't have to move van often.It of course depends on where you live but you'll find van mount gets easy after some time.

I wouldn’t want to be lifting drums in and out of a van all day ??? we use 1000 ltr per day that’s a lot of barrels ???Most of my work are detached properties, I manage to leave trolly on road and get to all the house, also kitted it so I can carry about 50L so I don't have to move van often.
Trust me u will want a van mount soon, click my profile read my first ever posts, i was a trolley head like u ? i was talking myself into using trolley as a permanent fixture but it just doesnt work, trust me u will end up van mounting it later onI like the idea of not having to move barrels but only use 6/7 a day and have enough on with 30m yet alone 100m?? plus would have to move van at least twice as much?
Yeah I agree,after 30 years I know my work, I currently think trolly is best right now but like to look at all the options.... Just wondered if I was missing something....I believe it's down to the individual and their work. I've used a trolley since I switched to WFP in 2007, and can say with certainty that overall it's quicker and easier and less hassle on most of my work. I have two mates who started with a van system because they were told it's quicker and easier, but they have very similar rounds to me. Within a couple of years they were both using trolleys for almost all their work.
I'd say that for most, a van system is likely to be quicker and easier. But for some, you won't beat a good trolley if you are well organized.
If you have been using a trolly for 30 years I take my hat off to you I did it for a few weeks and it was hard work and very slow , van mount made life so much easierYeah I agree,after 30 years I know my work, I currently think trolly is best right now but like to look at all the options....
