I mentioned a few weeks ago that we were getting a new van for our commercial carpet cleaning company - KLEENSTEP. We purchased a new Ford Transit Connect van and we now have it wrapped. Here's a web page that I threw together showing the van and the wrap. I really love this little cargo van, and so does our tech Ryan. I would highly recommend this truck to anyone who could use a small cargo van!

Looks nice, Rick! One question - is there enough room in there to hold a porty, as well as a couple of cimexes? I couldnt tell in the pictures....

Congrats!

Joe

Absolutely. We actually have a mop bucket, a high-speed buffer, and a wet-vac in there. For jobs requiring a portable, we just need to pull out the high-speed buffer.

Awesome setup there bro! Like everything else you do it's top notch. I also visited your Kleenstep site. Very nice.

If my GMC Safari cargo van ever goes down, that looks like a nice replacement.

Ah shucks Thomas - yer makin' me blush.

BTW that old Kleenstep website is dated and in bad need of redoing. It is not, I repeat NOT, what it needs to be. A new Kleenstep website is one of the many things on my very long to-do list.

Awesome wrap! I have been looking at the transits for awhile now,even before they're actually released.Like you,I'm thinking one strictly set up as commercial/vlm and one with a tm,the right tm,small compact,auto pump out and so forth.Again Rick,a really great,refreshing wrap.Congrats!

Rick I really like the van and the wrap is incredable. I've been looking at the Transit Connect for a few months and I think it's a perfect fit for my needs. Could you give me an idea of what the price of the wrap was. I'm trying to work out my budget for this. Thanks

The wrap was $1500. But shop around for wrap companies in your area. The guy I worked with was great and I though that his price seemed very fair.





Rick Gelinas

Thanks Rick, That's right around what I was figuring. Pretty cheap advertising when you think about it.

Nice van Rick. Love it!

I like the look on the guys face "Hmm, why isnt this space filled?"
He sure know's now it makes good sense to have clean carpet!
Sure to cause a few tail-enders in the traffic! Keep it away from shopping carts

Gee the digital wrap was good value! I paid more for a chicken wrap today! I think..
Signage in general is heaps more expensive in the land down under a land of pillage & plunder

Rick, how do you get the Cimex in and out of the van? Do you have a ramp and if you do, what type?

Thanx :~}

Yes - I have a Link aluminum ramp. I'll post a photo later.




Rick Gelinas

Many guys use both aluminium & fibreglass folding ramps in Australia. The fibreglass types are available in different lengths to suit all applications. From the shortest ramp for steps or gutters to longer applications. My set is about middle of the road and being fibreglass; they are kinder to the inside of your vehicle & equipment. Also they can handle up to 660 lbs. Over here these are available from all mobility (wheelchair outlets).
Hope this helps.

Hey Stuart, can we see more photos of your vehicle/set up? What kind of vehicle is that? Was the "carpet flap"under the ramp optional?
