What have you got in your van?
« on: May 27, 2014, 07:21:31 am »
I was looking this morning and thought how much equipment I've got at one time in the van. Does everyone else have a lot of equipment for "just in case" jobs / problems. I've got:

Honda 11hp jet wash
Honda 6.5hp jet wash (bin cleaning)
280l tank
500l lay flat tank
Water fed poles
Trolley for wfp
A few 25l Pure water containers
Step ladders
Drain camera
Drain rods- steel, plastic and flexi spings
Drain attachments
Drain jetting heads
About 50m spare high pressure pipe
Wheelie bin for water - drive cleaning
30m high pressure pipe
Cone lance
Straight lance
Variable lance
Air pro action camera
Spare pole for camera
Crow bars
Bolt cutter
Drain lifters
Plunger
Safety signs
Small cones
Cone flashing beacons
12v work light
Petrol / diesel cans
Low pressure pipe
Wellies and water proofs
Vaccum
Stand pipe
Safety equipment - helmit, back support, gloves, googles
Mop and bucket
Cleaning cloths
Chemicals
Fire extinguishersx3
Litter pickers
Whirl away and grease gun
Spare clothes
Rams, coshh sheets, msds
Nitrile gloves
Phone charger
External battery pack
Kettle
Torches
Safety boots
Payment slips
Leaflets and backpack
Air fresheners
Light bulbs


And a few other bits and pieces

And that's only what I have now I have had more like a generator, boiler, scaffolding tower (on the trailer) water pump, a load of barriers, cones and signs.

Just a transit van it stacked high though!

They do every so often, one the other week i had to get to a back garden for a drain but their small lock had rusted shut.

It's parked on the drive at night, with 6ft high gates padlocked and with CCTV watching and alarms so should be safe :)

Yes it's pritty safe though, I get email alerts every time someone comes into the garden and it records everything. There's 9 cameras in total so should get a good luck. Even if anyone did manage to get over the fence (which has prikka spikes on top) they've then gotta move the car from against the gates, cut the locks off break Into the van to nick anything. By that time the alarms would be going off and camera shots would be recorded and emailed to me as well :)

I swap some of the things over like the jet wash with carpet cleaner or extra water for window cleaning but tend to leave all the little bits like drain rods and any tools in there.

I try to have a place for everything and keep it as tidy as I can
If it isn't kept that tidy it's hard to get to certain bits of equipment :)

Aqua - I like your little arms on the reel 😃

Your idea, and did you make them yourself??

Darren, yes i spec this design and Pure Freedom engineered them. I can extend the arms to the rear doors and can swivel the hose any direction without snagging on reel or bodywork.

Also when reeling in , the hose is aligned and speeds wrapping up alot quicker.

The two yellow wheels also help to reduce excess dirt and water on the hose getting in the van .

That I must say is a very cool solution to guiding in a hose.

Should I ask how much they cost?

transit t350
front section, pressure washer, wheelie bin, pump, lances hoses etc
mid section is racked out and I store all my pest control gear.
rear section, pure freedom trolley, barrels and trad gear

thinking of sticking a 600L Ibc tank over the rear axl tho and using it to get me ahead on my pressure washing days, rinse out and fill with pure on heavy window cleaning weeks
