Aquafactors Tucker Pole is showing its latest improved water access products on Stand L30 at The Cleaning Show

Two new products will be promoted at the Cleaning Show, by Aquafactors Tucker Pole (Stand B26), in addition to the Pennel clamping system delayed from last year. Both products 'improve access'by enabling water to be readily available almost anywhere that a water fed pole may be used. Enclosed courtyards, confined areas Particularly those away from access roads and windows set back at high level are typical of the problems that water fed pole users face.

Water is required in volume and running hoses long distance is often not an option.

The problems have led to a number of mobile 'mini'water systems being developed.

However, not all have been successful with criticisms about low water carrying capacity, complexity, size and weight. Realising the downsides of such products,Aquafactors Tucker Pole, has not rushed into competing in this sector.However, recent customer requests, to meet certain criteria, have highlighted needs, which the company felt it could address better than the competition.The result is a 'mini' trailer system and a hand cart / trolley system.

Two types of end user have been identified.The first are operators of hotels, residential homes and other large buildings wanting to use their own maintenance personnel. In several instances the need has been for a system capable of being manoeuvred through a building, up in a lift, along corridors and onto a flat roof to clean penthouse windows.The second type of user is the window cleaning contractor having similar difficulties, but often wanting to bring water to site in a trailer and use it from the same equipment.

The Aquafactors trolley/cart system meets this demand in several ways.Carrying 360 litres of water, it's not a small system – but it is able to go through a standard doorway. It has its own battery power supply, pump and 20m retractable hose reel.The water treatment implications are kept 'simple' with an onboard deioniser.The tank is based on the company's thermo crafted, baffled unit, used with all its mobile systems. It is totally impervious to light and both strong and lightweight. Large tyres make handling easy and the cart is braked.

The Aquafactors 300 litre 'mini' trailer system is the smallest towable trailer produced by the company.Designed around a single axle galvanised trailer the system is aimed at both domestic and commercial window cleaning businesses needing equipment that can be easily manhandled into areas where larger trailers would be difficult to manoeuvre.
