Truckmount and Trailer

[Jim Bethel]

This is a trailer we designed and had custom built for a new client. He needed a dual wand truckmount in a trailer that could get into under ground carparks – so this trailer was built at 6.2 feet high.

Sapphire Scientific 570 SS

Our client also wanted the ability to change from emulsifier to acid rinse at the flick of a switch

Mounting the live fresh water feed hose and reel externally allows us more spare room inside

It's getting all vinyl wrapped at the moment to help it stand out even more 8)

Sweeeeet! That's a nice setup! I especially like the dual rinse switch capability. I find myself dealing with different rinses -switching back and fort- that annoys, me and this small thing could make life easier.



Once again Jim- when are you guys moving to the US? shiteatinggrin shiteatinggrin

Or I'll just have to move there- my lil brother lives in Sydney and plans to move up Shorty's area soon. I like that part of the world too...

 

[sam miller]

Thats beautiful, Great job! I too like the idea of a switch with 2 different rinsing agents

Jim is that tank on the front a water tank and if so does it have some kind of a float system in it? What kind of accesses are there into the tank?

Very nice clean installation.

i was hoping to see a bigger one....

I think i am going back to a trailer setup....love the box truck, BUT

A. I want a vehicle to use that can carry more then 2 people

B. trailer is lower....the in & out on the box kick the hell outa my knee and back when i am tired

C. I am just ready for a truck in general....hence see A

 

[RThode]

As alway Jim. Beautiful setup. Love how you come up with so many cool and innovative ideas.

 

[Brian R]

NIce set up. I would like to see it with all the doors open. That flip up door is cool....what's behind it?

Nevermind...I see it now.

Really good idea right there.

Nice job Jim as always!

I like the rinse switch, makes it nice and easy.

Thanks Adam. The hose fitting threw me. It must elbow to inside the unit.

Very Interesting Bobby, I think, No I am guessing, but that hose fitting is connected to the leading end of the hose. I know My friend Lil Jim isUpside down, But do they Lil Jim and dad Gary have the secrets of rolling up a hose inside out??? I guess its its something like a quick connect to store end and stop from getting dirty and unsightly. Just another Old Fart s View..

 

[Larry Cobb]

Great Job as usual, Jim.

How many hours of labor do you have finishing out that particular trailer ?

Lots of nice detail work in that install.

Hey BIG JOHN, I would say that the hose is connected there merely to stop it unraveling, or tying it off somewhere.

It's simple, neat and easy.

Say g'day to my rock collector friend. !gotcha!

I'd bet it goes underneath the trailer tucked away nice and tidy.

Jim, have you ever submitted these to the trade mags?

Your company's TM installs are the Best of the Best IMO


If I were to consider a slide in for my business instead of Butler units, you'd be the first guy I would seek out for ideas on installation layout and accessories

 

[Jim Bethel]

Adam is right – it is a gas tank on the front.

And Shorty is also correct. It is a live reel, however the blue fitting it clicks into is simply to hold the hose nice and tight and to stop any water leaking out of the hose. The end coming from the swivel like Hoody suggested is ran up under the chassis rails to the back of the trailer where in the rear view showing the truckmount, you can see a blue hose coming up through the floor and is attached ot the water feed inlet on the 570.

Great Job as usual, Jim.

Hi Larry,

This is our standard style of install Larry. The only thing that was an optional extra was the separate acid rinse/emulsifier switch. It takes us two days to install like this be it in a bare van or trailer.

Hey Fred,

Thanks for the nice comments. It is very much a team effort that pulls these units together.

Evan included one of our rigs in ICS years ago, but haven’t given it a though since then. Might be a good idea to send him or Jeff some photo’s once in a while ?

Thanks for the rest of the comments guys!

[Jim Bethel]

Sorry my dear friend Watson - I did have you post quoted in there, but when I hit 'post' I had to re-log in again :x And I missed your input the second time around. Sorry mate! But you are very right and understand what we have done perfectly 8)





And to you Burtz, You'll go blind

 

[Burtz]

[Jim Bethel]

After many, many years of doing truckmount installs, we can lay our hands on all the good stuff Burtz !gotcha!
