Cimex big boy wheels

[Mike Draper]

So, after a few months of use and lots of floors cleaned here is my opinion: After the install, which was very easy btw, its now takes half the effort to push and manuever this thing around. I just couldnt go back to running those old shitty factory wheels again. I Have a 15k sq. ft job I do quarterly with this machine. I'm not nearly as tired after I've completed the job now. Definately worth the $.

I can't believe it! You too!

I can't believe it! You too!

You keep falling further behind from the pack....

 

[Mike Draper]

Its an intermitten cleaning. I use the cimex to shower feed / pre-scrub before I HWE. But I do encap much of this place every other cleaning.

 

[dealtimeman]

First the knocking down of the girl on that trail, and now this. I held you in high regard you know, shucks, the world is changing so fast.

We had a restaurant that we cleaned last month that was just awful. We used Flex and shower fed it though the Cimex. It busted up all the grease so it could easily be rinsed out. No need for a big bad Vortex....oh no those dinosaurs are nearly extinct!

I haven't seen one in a museum yet buddy, most are still working on the field after 15 years of service I don't know of any truckmount with real cleaning g power that has a track record like it, especially with out signs of it all rusting.

 

[Desk Jockey]

Hard to rust when they sit so much. The most activity they see is on Ebay changing hands from one owner to the next.

Long live the dinosaur!

 

[dealtimeman]

You are just jealous because your truckmounts rust and implode and mine just keep on kicking.

They are worth it. Even more so if you ever have to take it up/down any steps. I did a place and it was just once flight of steps but I was so tired afterwards it was crazy. It is not like taking a rx-20 up/down steps.

 

[Mike Draper]

I was down at Aero Tech this morning. They do have a great facility, and every part they make is going to last and last. Ther are wonderful to work with also.

 

[Desk Jockey]

Yea I was just giving it to Lockhart, he gets so touchy about his big trucks.

And my wife says I like to push buttons...

At least I'm no Chavez!

 

[Desk Jockey]

Hey, you have to give some people a jolt every now and then.

Parts list?

 

[Mikey P]

How much is the conversion kit?

$270.50 but I had $50.00 in rewards points so I just ordered one.

 

[Mountain View Carpet Care]

$270?? what came in the kit?

 

[Desk Jockey]

I've never bought one before, so I'm not exactly sure.

I figure its everything needed to switch over to the 10-inch wheels, including the stainless steel axle.

 

[encapman]

It comes with: 10" wheels that have bearings. A stainless steel axle machined to fit wheels with bearings. And a new tee-piece to replace the stock one that's likely corroded to the stock axle.

 

[Desk Jockey]

Thanks Rick & thank you for the Rewards Points too!

 

[Russ T.]

Install went smoothly for me, with included directions.

So much easier to push and drag up stairs.

$270 does seem a little high but its a premium product from an exceptional company (Excellent Supply).

Next Cimex will be ordered with the wheel kit installed.

 

[Mikey P]

$170 sounds high for two wheels and an axle.


They must be hand carved by unicorns.

 

[Desk Jockey]

Encap unicorns. You get a signed certificate included with your purchase.

Its suitable for framing right beside your IICRC patches.

 

[Russ T.]

Hey now!

 

[Desk Jockey]

Sorry! Pushed one too many buttons?

I was trying to shakeup O'haleck.

 

[Mike Draper]

an axle and 2 wheels. The axle is stainless steel and hos to be machined which is probably a big part of the expense.

 

[dealtimeman]

But are they safe?

 

[Desk Jockey]

Well the particle size is too big to inhale. But to answer your question, they can kill you....when dropped on you from any sizable height.
