Some rigs I forgot I owned

Look what Jerry can fit in a pickup bed. It would be pretty easy to put belt drive 20hp and a 200 gallon tank in there if you didn't need the reclaim.

Is this a full size bed (4 x 8)???

I think you could fit a recovery/filter, a 200 gallon tank, and hot pw in the full size pick bed foot print

Yes it has a beefed chassy Nigel, you can see its still heavy the way the rear is sitting.

I wonder if Mike would have known it was or wasn't these where in the drive the day I was visited. Those where a couple of the unmarked trucks coming at going
 
Ron your business model looks similar to a lawn company here in MD, started as a franchise owner , with 4 trucks and moved to 7, he is sales man too and talker, has a lot of subs that get the work done, has or had multiple states accounts.

Do you operate out side of AZ?

Double unit? Like two guns? Ron, do you use 1 man and 1 truck? I remember when I was a cable guy, some guys would park their truck and ride together. Then split the route. Funny thing is Two guys together could never do as much as two guys in separate trucks and routes. They could get the jobs done faster, but getting to twice as many stops in one vehicle was the problem.

Thats the truth. I put two machines on a truck last year thinking it would go fast.

I moved one of them to my trailer a few weeks ago to use only on the larger jobs. I still have to crack the whip to keep things moving at the same rate as if it was just me by myself.

Well we are letting the Cat out of the bag today. That truck has a pressure washer in it.

Some actually saw this one at the Phx Roundtable, very few realized it was a working unit.

So, your saying our 2 3/4 ton trucks and high gpm machines are over kill? Lol...

My trailer is definitely an owner operator setup. If you turn the correct valves in a certain order it will even fly!

Oh and its dummy proof too. A dummy couldn't figure out anything on it.

Any pictures of the truck rigs Chris?

How big of a water tank are you using in the pickup trucks? 50 gallon? 100 gallon?

I think that is a good idea, sure is easier for the people without experience pulling a trailer.
 
I posted a video of it around here somewhere Chris. I set it up with 2 coldwater machines to handle our residential work.

It has a 225 gallon leg tank. If I had it to do over I would go smaller with the water tank to save room.

Yeah, not everyone has a lot of experience with trailers. I can put a trailer in a door with 4" on each side, but I wouldn't trust some of the guys I've worked with with one in an empty parking lot.
 
Every now and then, you find yourself with a piece of equipment that flat out refuses to die. It's nice when you can squeeze all 9 lives out of your equipment.

27 years I forgot how many trucks I really had. Had two enclosed units , Greg r bought a used unit I gave to my sister. Onan powered 24 horses , I'll bet it's still running. That reminds me Greg likely saw my first reclaim because she has it too. Also enclosed trailers.

Think about it, you really remember every car you ever owned? How about all your girls Doug

Yep and still have it. I think I bought a different one. The machine I bought from her hardly had any hours on it actually and was in great shape (for a landa LOL) I didn't know it was your sister initially - figured it was just someone selling off their business and equipment.

You know your making too much money when you don't know how much equipment you have :)!

She actually had my first reclaim unit in her garage, we used it on the Buses at the casino's. WOW 1986 !!!! You know that Landa was that Old.....That Garage she has is a Monster, who knows whats in it.

I just got some old videos of cranes being cleaned at Inland Steel....super 8 now on AVI.....this should be funny.

Heres a little video 2001 Damage
 
I can't go that far back. I've got a picture of our first DC Delivery van from 1998 somewhere, but I can't find it.

Here are three of our Delivery vehicles from 2001. Chevy Van was good, but only 12 1/2 mpg, Dodge minivan was crap, new brakes every 10k but it got about 15mpg. The Sidekicks and Geo Trackers were the best with about 19mpg and you couldn't break them if you tried.

Notice, we didn't have any markings on our trucks either then, that is a lawsuit magnet.
