Considering a trolley system for WFP - but wonder how you manhandle these things into and out of your van/car boot.
Are you likely to 'pull your back out'?
Thanks

Yes.
Don't do it go for a fitted tank and a reel of microbore.

I have a van mount and a trolley as I dislike routing microbore over too large a public area - even with warning signs etc.
I get my trolley in and out of the van by using a cut down piece of 8 x 4 as a ramp. If you are short of room in your van, you may be able to make something up for a ramp. I know that Omnipole (
www.omnipole.com
) do a small pair of ramps that they have christened "Omniramps".
As for getting it out of a car boot - not sure I would fancy that. I've tweaked my back too much over the years already.

if you use a trolley with 25 L barrels
just remove the 25 L barrel and the trolley is as light as it can be, park it infront of the space you are lifting it into, then lift, its just 1 staight lift
