I had one built for my son out of stainless steel by a local specialist.I designed the frame, I live in Lancaster in the north west of england.

The company have done a couple of frames for other w/cleaners who where so impressed with it when they saw it in the flesh.

I will try to post a couple of pics.

The price was very competitive.

Heres a copy of the drawings if it helps you.

I left the tank and all the bits and bobs I wanted fixing to the end plate. They built the frame around the tank. He was not happy with his first effort so scraped it and started again, The frame fits snuggly not to tight that it pinches the plastic when the tank expands in warm weather or the tank slides within the frame because is not tight enough.

jsmc

The di tank is secured via a normall cobra clamp. The fabricators spot welded screwthreads to the end plate thats attached to the tank cage, so the di clamp is just bolted to the plate as is the pump.

If you want to ask me any questions give me a ring on

how much did the fabricator leave for play on th esides? 15-20mm each side?

also does your tank have sold sides or bars?

spoke witha fabricator yeterday and he told me to give him up  a quck sketch and he will take it from there. mos tlikely use galvanised metal. also was told DI water rots  materials quicker than normal water. They installed some very large di tanks in my mates work and said this was the case

Did they also fit the cage? YES

What battery and pump is fitted? FLOWJET 60PSI, 110 AMP BATTERY

how much did the fabricator leave for play on th esides? 15-20mm each side? NOT SURE AS THE SIDES OF THE TANK ARE SLIGHTLY ROUNDED.
also does your tank have sold sides or bars? BARS.

YOU NEED STAINLESS STEEL FOR THE FRAME.THE COMPANY I USED ARE STAINLESS STEEL SPECIALISTS, THEY BUY LARGE QUANTITYS OF S/STEEL IN BULK SO THE RAW MATERIAL IS VERY CHEAP INDEED, THE COST COMES IN  HOW MANY WELDS AND CUTS THEY HAVE TO MAKE TO THE STAINLESS STEEL IN MAKEING THE CAGE.

The cost was cheap considering what I see other companys charging,and the look is superb and it makes a massive difference haveing the hose reel set higher on the cage, theirs no bending down when reeling in or out, everything you need to fix or work on is at the back of the van. THE VAN HAS NO SIDE DOORS, so thats why everything is attached to the back plate.
