How about fitting it to a dustbin lid, metal type.
You could always nick your neighbours bin lid to try  ;D

Just thinking now it may not be deep enough  :(

Holy f***ing Christ .
Why is this not already available ?
Takes a user to realise what is needed.
What lpm machine would run this efficiently.

You should call this the " Turbo Blast"

What lpm machine to run 4 x 05 turbo nozzles properly.
I have not a clue really about high pressure cleaning , but do realise a major tool for a job.
And this idea on a fsc would absolutely cut the work times and finish on a job.

How about 'The Blast Away'?

I know what you mean though, it does take the user to realise what is needed.

It's like the spigot solution that should be equipped to whirl-a-ways.

use the cheapest available option till you decide the best height , then have one machined for you inc vac port etc
You should by now realise this could be a turning point/winner for you.
The simple things are usually the best.
Imagine a Hoover with no bag !,, who would of thought EH

You will have to have a new spray bar made as if you "clip" anything you will rip the nozzles from the whirl-a-way one.
It's soft metal and the threads are only short. The turbo nozzles are way longer/heavier and will have more leverage on the thread. I looks f****ing amazing tho' . Top man keep us updated!!!

you are dead right i also told lee about this when i tried it out a couple of month ago. Honestly lee be carefull when you fasten to a hood, i did exactly what you did on your video and it was fine the minute you fasten to a hood then the problems start and a heavy turbo nozzle firing out from a hood believe me could easily kill someone, mine flew a good 100 metres
better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak out and remove any doubt

hope Chris knows about this  ;D
To be honest as Trevor has said this idea is lethal , these bars std set up are balanced hence cost, if one turbo shears off whole lot will go crazy. But on the bright side u may get £200 from itv when it goes pear shaped  ;D ;D

hahaha, fair play Lee! - You know what, and i know no-one will believe me, but I thought about 'inventing' something like this about a year ago...

Trouble is, that's all I did... Think about it!!  ::)roll

The blue barrel bottom is too small diameter, The water hit the sides and also the top would need to be really sturdy otherwise the nozzles bounce.

I give up, I'll leave it to the pro's to design a proper cover that won't have any play in it for the head.

I even shortened the bar so the water wouldn't hit the sides but the top around the head needs to be strengthened.

What about this with the turbo nozzles on .You would need to make a cover or a skirt for it. It needs to be a cross between these two items.Do you think it would work?

What about putting it inside a round cage instead of an enclosed cover?

Valiant attempt mate, but if it was that easy I am sure mosmatic would of done it by now.
It would need substantial strength in the 'head' of the cover to maintain hub / spray bar plus you always run the risk if a user accidently hits any raised flags etc. Goodbye shins  ;D ;D

On our old kersten one of the guys sucked up a metal bracket around 2" size, bracket hit the impellar and shot straight thro the thick plastic casing :o. Luckly no one was hurt, casing was destroyed. Sure same thing would happen if turbo snapped off

a rotary cleaner with turbo nozzles is deffo needed. to save going back over blocks to get tough roots out on large area with a turbo lance after whirlaway. its a nightmare on large block areas having to go back over area. this needs to be made asap and sold just like whirlaways.
