New Hi-Performance Portable – The TruckPort is Here

[encapman]

The name TruckPort and the graphic was chosen with the idea that it would represent the machine's power - for not only the carpet cleaning contractor, but also for THEIR CUSTOMER. If the customer is thinking that a truckmount is mandatory (as is often the case), and you're cleaning with the TruckPort - the name and the logo prominently displayed on the front of the machine conveys that you're using a high performance portable intended to be used as a truckmount alternative.

Or, is it just more mental masturbation?

Thanks for mentioning the inch and a half inlet John..

 

[Mikey P]

Who makes a tall boy portable wand?
Does anybody use two inch hose when running just 25 feet?
Rick would you mind showing us a photo of the guts?
If really like to see how its wired up.

 

[encapman]

I'm running out the door right now. I can post a photo of the guts later.

 

[Willy P]

Have you tried the vacs in parallel?
What's the cfm figure?
How many amps per cord?
How many GPM for the pump out?
Is the pump flat out pegged at 500 psi?
Is there just the one configuration?

 

[FLYERMAN]

My new goal is to use "Mental Masturbation" as my new description of oh so many things.

Is it really important who makes it for Rick? Is there a practical reason for this information to be important to the purchaser?

Or, is it just more mental masturbation?

 

[Ken Snow]

Dealtimeman is correct

The truck port is just a private label Sandia 802500H unit

The roto-mold and specs are identical

Yep!

 

[Ron K]

I'd like to see picture of the back (dump) side

 

[adamh]

Does anybody use two inch hose when running just 25 feet?
.

The vac difference with my Mytee porty running 2 inch and 1 1/2 inch hose is huge. I run 2 inch all the time.

 

[Jimmy L]

Simply amazing how Mikey has changed.

Plain label box extractors and plain label chems are all the norm now.

Just slap your name on it and call it original.

What are we STOOPIT?

Marty is taking a page from Mikey PR playbook, Mikey I understand cause hes making bank

Marty must want Radar's old spot

Sandia is hardly the cutting edge of Hi. Performance portables

The thing has a 1.5 inlet

I've seen these units at my JanSan supplier

$2250 ain't bad for a price except you gotta pick up the shipping

my experience shows you can get more Mytee for your Money

 

[Mikey P]

I had a "high performance" portable once..
And I've heard all the stories from you all who have the auto every thing units..

No thanks.

 

[Desk Jockey]

Auto just adds potential for more weak links. auto fill or auto dump are great when they work but catastrophic when they fail. Unless you are good about preventive maintenance, auto is just another potential headache. All brands!

 

[hogjowl]

It's been over 20 years since I have done the bucket brigade, but I wouldn't purchase a portable without an auto dump and fill.

 

[Mikey P]

I already have a back up.

It's called a C4.

If that unit ever needs a back up it will be a 200 psi two 3 stage porty that I can actually lift into my pick up truck.


Now if I were using a unit each and every job like Willy I don't know wtf I'd do..


I don't keep up with the latest and greatest ways to do a shitty job

Agreed ! We can reduce when needed.

 

[Mikey P]

Adam..

Define "huge"--

More noise from the wand?
Less dry passes needed?
More walk ups?

 

[Shane Deubell]

What we do is cimex/releasit ds then use the releasit punch as a rinse in the portable.
When needed.

Its a portable...

That's why you keep the machine outside. The Mytee I use will fail each time on autofill and overflow from tap water pressure above 50-60 psi (which is just about every faucet) so I have to choke it down with a half turned down hose shut off valve.Once you set it right it works well.

The auto pump out just goes in the bushes outside. But that necessitates a machine that can pull at least 100 feet of 2 inch vac hose to reach throughout the job. That's why you need 2 three stage vacs.

But not to derail Rick's thread. That Truckport is a good looking machine and will be useful for encappers looking to steam some bad areas that need rinsing.

I judge the suck power by putting the hose to my ear and measure how far my eyes get sucked into my head. The 2 inch pulls them further in....

The two inch hose on my 200psi 2 two stage vac porty will dry carpet faster than the inch 1/2. I dont run a wand with it because I feel its worthless with a wand but great with the RV360I. But to be honest I only use it on very rare occasions.

 

[Jimmy L]

I used a mytee speedster this summer to clean some shears at a commercial property.
2-2 stage vacs and one of those adj pumptecs.

And it's been over 20 years since I used my own portable/bucket brigade etc.

Nothings changed in that time and using a POS portable is not in my future.

But I can see how Willy needs to use one and has his machine and techniques down.

I would rather blow that kind of money in a strip joint where at least I'll get some kind of enjoyment from my money.

 

[Desk Jockey]

James I'm sure you could save some on strip joints, after all Adam uses it on his ears. Im sure you could use it on another appendage ....of course you might need to choke it down to 1.5 to pop your eye balls!

[Jimmy L]

Maybe you could use it as a TURD SUCKER on some of your jobs?

 

[Desk Jockey]

See post above......that would be a turd sucker.

Coles subs might find this useful for those custys who insist on a TM. A sub could just point to the truck mounted on the machine.

Does anybody use two inch hose when running just 25 feet?

Who in their right mind uses 25 feet with a well powered portable?
I use a 50 feet 2" hose with my Mytee (2x three stage motors) and the vacuum and drying is awesome.

If you need an extra run of hose it can be added. Not a problem. It comes stock with 25'.

Maybe Rick well be coming to M9F after all..
