Popped over to X-Line HQ this evening and had a look at X-Lines new trolley system. In real life it looks way smaller than the pictures taken. Infact it's quite deceptive, it almost looks slightly bigger than a 25L barrel  - it holds 45L.

That looks good Lee, but I think that 45 liters is too big. and heavy to lug around.

Having used it today, the chunky wheels really help with maneuverability.... the dry weight is really light too.

The dry weight of a 350l tank is light too , but once it's full.....

Looks a bargain at £399 on the X-Line website (£151 cheaper than the 25L trolley system).

The disadvantage of course is that you need to refill it every time you run out of water rather than just swapping barrels over ...

Did you try getting it in / out of a van?  Due to the height of it, it looks like it would be a nightmare to get it in and out of van, even with just a little water in it.  I think it's too big, if it had been 25 litres I might av had one.

Nothing to stop you only filling it to 25 litres

You said you popped over there this evening, now it turns out you used it today ?
Also you've responded to Spruce like an autobot. He's said it looks BIG and HEAVY.  You've answered its got chunky wheels so its great for manoeverability, and its dry weight is great . Have you actually taken on board what he said ?

Why such a naff picture?

Some great points here regards filling and putting in and out of the van. With any trolley system I guess that will be an issue. The other stuff, day? Evening?  lol is not important

I think the real question wfp window cleaners should be asking themselves is there any real need/use for a portable wfp trolley system when there is plenty of work about that a wfp trolley is not needed.

If that trolley is aimed at new guys wanting to get into wfp then all I can say is good luck to them as looks an ergonomic nightmare to me.

I don't know about you chaps but I found using a wfp trolley a real pain in the arse compared to a van mount. I also honestly cannot remember the last time I've needed to use one.

i agree.i had a pure freedom 50L trolley and used it for a year.much better/easier to use a van mount and a backpack on a little foldaway trolley for the odd awkward access job.
