"Which" Trolley
« on: November 27, 2009, 06:27:55 pm »
When I started out a couple of months ago I had it in mind that I would get some sort of wfp system at some point in time, mainly so I can take on higher windows and other work that is easier and safer with a pole.

I'm probably going to get a trolley to start with but that's where I'm not sure with what to go with. What is the best advice, what trolleys do you guys have or had that you would recomend or not.

Thanks Paul

how much do you wanna spend?

can go with wcw £100 yellow backpack - use it as a trolley not a backpack!

or maybe omnipole - do a cheap 35 litre trolley for £200!

I think the Pure Freedom trolly will suit you to the ground,no refilling and all that nonsense,just change over the containers...........simple ;)

Money isn't the issue, I want the best value and that doesn't mean the cheapest just not wanting to spend money on things that aren't needed.

I'm thinking one that has 25l containers that are easy to change rather than a container that needs refilled while I'm out.

Well I guess the Freedom like I say is your best bet and you can buy a tank later on and double the trolly up as a van mount  as I did this when I first started  before purchasing their 4040 van mount system

So pure freedom do the whole set up for £820, but I don't think I would need the RO as I live in a soft water area, does anyone know whether the would reduce the price acordinly ?

good call on that, its very easy to just swap then over, less time wasted

all them style trolley's are just glorified sack trucks

buy your self a nice sack truck and a pump box ( from cleantech ) and your all set to go with a battery

get a nice sack truck and it will last, afterall its designed to move about loads all day long

hi paul,if i remember rightly a freedom trolley on its own is about £530.00 ish :o :o :o bear in mind its from memory though (i wanted another couldn't afford that so i got some friends to make one for me,the result is i've a trolley thats equally as good if not better than the freedom in many ways and the freedom is good,i'm hoping to get some more made after crimbo,i'd post some photo's on here but don't know how as i'm not very computer savvie could anyone help me on this?)the only niggle on the freedom trolley is the butt can sometimes fall off-usually going up and down steps as it does it can twist your wrist-anyone had this happen?

£480, that sounds excellent as I see the polar brite is £585 in wcw catalogue and even there own H2-Go trolley cones in at £495.

I have a freedom trolley which I would consider selling for the right money, Im not 'giving' it away, it would come with 8 barrels as well.

why in a rush to go WFP murdie when uv got a v.small round?i would concentrate on building ur round and get good at trad and trad pole work for now and as ur business gets bigger go straight for a van/van mount when funds allow.youll soon tire of humping 25 lt containers about and ull probably do ur back in!then theres the extra cost of wfp without the work to justify it!only my opinion!best wishes whatever u decide to do anyway! ;D
