It's possible  ;D

Ok while I have your attention, what battery ah rating do you reccomend pump States max amp 3.2 - I'm thinking that's use age per hour ?? So a 32 ah battery would give me 5 to 6 hours run time  without being completely flattened

How are you going about building these trolleys.

Let's say something like you would get a big heavy parcel on, not sure of exact name.
So we weld a piece of metal about 6" above the piece that already on, and put a front on so we now have a box to fit battery ( or a standard car battery say, so make the box big enough ) then the barrell on top, pump either at front of battery or facing backwards behind were battery would be.

I have basically got a pic in my head of how I could build a trolley set up similar to the pure freedom one I have. With the least of cost.

It's going to be based on a garden trolley/truck - they are four wheeled and rated at 250kg

I've brought some mini reels from the U.S. To take 30mtrs of hose  - the tank will be 110 Ltrs and takes up around  two thirds of the trolley floor space allowing me to put battery, pump and reel in the final third

For the amount that the 32ah cost (from memory) you may as well get a higher rated battery
Personally, for the usage you say you'll do, i'd go to a scrappy and get a half decent car battery & charge at the end of the day...
Why don't you have a quick google before making stupid comments?

At the moment am running a vyair 10 lpm pmp direct from my battery, very basic set up. If you want pic let me know and will post, but 2 x crocodile clips, wires run through the floor into back of van through hole I drilled and into pump.

Simple and  basic.

Agreed
I have been doing this for 5 years with  the original 5lpm Vyair pump,  works a treat

Scrapyard batteries are ok. But sometimes you dont know what your getting.
I have had some that have lasted half a year others just a couple of months.

I got fed up lugging batteries in and out of van(wrecks your back).
I have a new Tungstone 110 ah  battery and am getting a split van charger fitted.
Hopefully job done.

Agreed, hence you'll notice i said for the price of a lower ah battery i'd go for a higher rated battery (i have a 110 on the van mount)

But you'll also notice that the battery is going on a trolley, not a van mount, (dont know of any trolleys able to run split chargers...) so darren was looking for a smaller battery, thats why i said the 'half decent car battery' idea...

If Darrens using a cheap pump for now to see how it goes, then there's no point spending big on a battery yet, hence the scrappy...

If he needs to upgrade in the future then he can do, thats the beauty of setting up your own trolley, you can put everything in such a way that things can be changed...
