Thanks for the help lads, I've changed my mind about doing stuff DIY
I'm getting a face-lift compact system fitted including hose reel
Only got 18 months till retirement and then I'll keep the van and do a few hours a week.

You could get a Grippa system for not much more, crash tested and I would think better quality.

I would go for the power up 3D reel
From window cleaning warehouse

Yeah I visited Window cleaning warehouse for the first time at the Liverpool depot
Impressed with the compact van system.
Nearly went for the power up HD reel but decided to stay manual.
What system have you got installed in your van Swanson?
I'm having a system fitted in 2weeks.
Also what part of Cornwall do you live in, i know Cornwall quite well from loads of hols down there

Was thinking of changing the order up to the 3D reel after I'd visited WC warehouse
Anyone have much experience with these reels??

I have the hd version for a couple of years now and it’s been faultless
I wondered why you seem so against a leccy one, but then it’s your business

Could not justify the outlay until I hit 64 and developed a hernia thanks for your reply
Dazmond will say, I told you so
Also I worked with one the other week and saw the benefits
Looking forward to using my own one now.

Make sure it's the current updated version with the metal center spindle and improved switch, also the motor is more powerful than the first version. It's a vast improvement.

It's probably worth checking with WCW

Used today
Luv it so far

you just cant compare a claber reel to a cox/hannay reel...they are worlds apart....the claber reel is a mickey mouse reel and too flimsy for window cleaning IMO

Have to agree with that.
