Thoughts on these two Trolley Systems
« on: February 27, 2010, 10:46:43 pm »
Hello everyone, im new to this forum, and have decided to get into Window Cleaning.
Ive looked at a few trolleys so far, and noticed a couple im interested in.

The first if from Bayersan UK LTD which looks a fab trolley for £525 including a free 24ft pole
http://www.bayersan.co.uk/      Click onto Products > Trolley Systems > Then go to the 55lt Trolley

The next is from the Cleaning Warehouse for £775 which includes Pro Trolley, 17ft pole, R/O unit (changing it instead of the DI) and TDS Metre.

What are your thoughts on these trolleys?
And what one do you thinks best?

Looking forward to hearing from you all

Many many thanks
Jake

Thanks for the reply Lammy, but ive only got a Citroen Picasso, and was looking into buying a trolley (so i can use the  car) and then maybe buy a van and setup when i get a few more customers.

they are all much the same ie they store and pump water from a to b
make yourself a pole
get a few 25l water  tanks
buy the water from someone local

youre up and running

all you need is custies

My trolley is one that omnipole has recently started selling @£350
however i paid £320 from the red hat diving ppl who also sell window cleaning stuff.
Its the red 35 litre model, looks smart too
Im not to sussed with trollys but would advise you to not spend too much money upfront until you established.
It suprising how cheaply you can get wfp set up without having to spend big bucks out first, as i said up grad when you get more established

Hi and thank you for all the replies. This was actually my son asking as he is setting up on his own work doing the window cleaning. I actually run the Domestic cleaning and Carpet Cleaning part of the family business and as we get so many people asking about window cleaning, I have thought about getting him a setup.

Now we have had your valuable advice and are now thinking of getting the setup Trippy mentioned as its cheaper and less of a risk.

Thanks again for all the info you have gave us.

I started out with a trolley, I built my own but within a few weeks It had become a vitual van mount because I had bought a decent hose reel and 100m of microbore.

Trolleys look like a good idea but frankly lifting them in and out of a car all day and dragging them round people's gardens is just more trouble than its worth.

Just buy a pump and a controller and mount them on a bit of board in the back of your car. Run the pump off the car's battery and save yourself ££££

Don't touch the Bayersan trolley. It's made in China and the same thing is being sold all over the place. The build quality is horrendous in my opinion and I know of a couple of people who have had them and had nothing but trouble. Here is a link to the chinese supplier of these http://www.dyuan.com/product.asp?catid=38&piccatid=53&#Menu=ChildMenu2. It's the TSR35.
