Nah mate, that SPECIAL LITTLE YELLOW BUS was not my wheels.
Here's one that I made up for VLM cleaning in 2013.
Here's one that I've nearly finished to sell off with HWE., although I currently use it for VLM, the Cimex or Sprayborg is taken out and a MasterBlend TF3500 goes in.
OOOH, this is embarrassing.
It looks like I've not taken a pic of the new one since filling it up.
I'll see what I can do tomorrow.
Weather permitting.
Cheers,
I don't regret my past, I just regret the times I've wasted with the wrong people.
Take me as I am, or watch me as I go.
I'll retire when I can no longer do what I love, or I no longer love what I can do.
Stop moving, start dying........

Looks very professional. Mine looks like a missile range. However, I do lash everything to hard points, as my van was once a wheelchair transport. This spring I hope to repaint it. The granddaughter suggested flourescent yellow, hahaha!
With Respect,

Shorty
I see you have ramps for getting your Cimex and Orbot out of your van.
Do you like that set? How far do they extend?
Can they handle the weight easily? Any problems with them?

Hi Lee,
They are about 3 foot long & extend out to about 6 feet.
Very light aluminum.
They have a simple locking pin mechanism that keeps them locked in.
I weigh in excess of 105 kilos, about 231lb, I walk Big Yella up into the van no problem, also remeber that I have a dicky knee, need replacement, so I make as much that I do, as easy as possible.
Rick say's I'm just lazy.?
I've had the ramps for a couple of years now with no problems.
When I take the next lot of pics, you'll see how the fit neatly inside my skinny hose reel.
:cool:

Here's the new(er) van.
Although I'm setting this up for HWE prior to selling Get Shorty, I currently have Big Yella in there.
When I sell this biz; my MasterBlend TF3500 will go where Big Yella sits.
The ramps fit neatly in between the rails of the vac; hose (skinny) reel.
Hope this helps.

Thanks for the update Shorty! They look like a nice set of light and strong ramps!
