a trolley designed for backpacks
« on: July 22, 2013, 10:37:35 pm »
After being fed up with lugging around my back pack and barrels for certain poor access jobs, I'm custom designing a trolley that will hold 4 x 25litre barrels and a backpack. That's 115 litres of water woo hoo no going back to the van for a quick refill.

It will also hold your pole and yes and your bucket and squeegee, leaving your hands purely for pushing the trolley.

Hopefully picking it up tomorrow from a welder / fabricator  ;D

I'll post some picks

When I started wfp it was with Peter Fogwill's trolley which had two "slots". You could choose to take one or two 25L barrels with you thus giving 50L. It also had a small car battery and shurflo pump on board and probably weighed about 65kg all up.

I later dropped the battery and shurflo and got a backpack which by using a carjack and spreading the upper rails of the trolley I could drop into one of the spaces for the barrels. Weight about 50kg for carrying 45L water.

They were both a handful on a slope and especially on kerbs.

I can see uses for a 100+L set up say on the right streets where parking is tough or in pedestrian areas where you don't want hoses everywhere, where  it is level - and of course you don't have to take a 100L every time.

I wouldn't want to use it on Lyme Regis (Broad Street)! Maybe Clovelly?  ;D

Yes i put the barrels in it, it managed to scoot its self down the hill and straight into the harbour.

Welder not done it yet, so I'm hoping the next two days or so.
I like the bike idea !!! But imagine going down hill and the brakes trying to stop.
