Do you use a trolley and which trolley do you recommend?
« on: April 06, 2009, 07:06:13 pm »
I have always worked from my van no matter what but have pondering whether it might be better to do some of the backs my customers houses with a trolley/backpack. Save hassle with hoses wheelie bins, poo, bikes etc.

What do you use?
What would you not use again?

I see Omnipole do a trolley on ebay, any problems with those?

I have the omnitrolly classic.
I don't use it often but its very handy for jobs with shed loads of plants round the garden or out of the way jobs.

I just fill it from my van system.

Do you find they get stuck down people's alleys, trapped on wheelie bins and the like?

too much messing around changing from trolley to backpack, the guy who cleans the houses over the road from my house uses a back pack on a trolley and it looks really good to use..

I think every bloody hose gets caught behind tyres, round plants, rose bushes being the worst and that proverbial dog s@@t.

Mines a sack truck with 2 x 25 ltr containers, fitted with hose reel and 30 mtrs micro bore, never have to take the trolley round the back.

I used Peter Fogwill's one (1 or 2 x 25L barrels)- it got me into wfp when working out of my Honda Estate.

Now I know what to do I would strap a 25L barrel to a sack track, make a pump board to carry a pump and motorcycle battery and loop a 10 metre run of hose around one of the handles.

I just use a van now tho'.
