does anyone have any stats on how many truckmount users there are to portable users. if there are around 7500 carpet cleaning companies in the uk, how many of them are made up of truckmount users?

No stats Derek but it would be interesting to know.

I reckon at least 90% will be porty users.

[JandS]

With you on that Joe.
I have yet to see a TM round here.
I have yet to see a TM in the flesh mounted in a van.
Go on Derek I've given you an opening fire a joke or 2 off.

theres only about 20 people that post on here, and i know what they use. the rest are just nosey bar stewards.

put an interesting post up and you'll get 30 views before you even get a reply. quite annoying really.

48 carpet cleaners  within 30miles, only 6 T/Ms the rest portable users

[robert meldrum]

This forum has 1800 members so I think your total of 7500 is miles out and in 25 years of c/c covering a area of approx 50 miles diameter I have only ever come across two t/m's a Rainbow and a Bane

[derek west]

this forum is not just for carpet cleaners mr meldrum, i was given that figure by a high profile supplier, not saying its right but it sounds about right.

mike
is that hull area?

derek

[Joe H]

where do you get 1800 from Robert?

I see a figure of 18000 but as derek says that between carpet cleaners, window cleaners, general cleaners etc

[Joe H]

within 20 miles of me in Warrington I can readily think of 8 other tm's, plus me thats 9

[robert meldrum]

Well spotted Joe it's 18000 well 17981 to be precise

One thing for sure forum members are in the minority nationally

Oh I’m the only one in my borough would have been two but he went porty

[robert meldrum]

Let you know after Friday Bob it will be well tested on a local job.

[Buster Ingram]

Derek when you find out who  the porty guys are can you let me have their  names and address so I can demo them a truck-mount

[Tony Gill Carpet Smart]

Only one in Bridlington Meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
One in Driffield i think about 16 Miles away then Scarborough about 19 miles away
Cheers Tony

[Mike Osbourne]

And  bet there TM isn't level half the time either.

[Paul_Ashworth]

I cant think of at least 6 Truckmounters within a six or seven mile radius here, Not sure on how many portable operators there are but  can think of about 4 but its probably more

[derek west]

so would anyone disagree with 10% ?

from the questionable figures given that would be 750 truckmounts?
